- The problem
Is Your Website Losing Traffic You Cannot Explain?
Most websites underperform not because of poor design but because of invisible technical and structural issues that silently suppress rankings every day. Our website audit services find exactly these problems.
Traffic has plateaued or declined
Rankings stagnate or drop after algorithm updates despite consistent content publishing.
Slow page speed damaging Core Web Vitals
Poor LCP, INP, and CLS scores suppressing rankings especially on mobile devices.
A migration caused an unexplained traffic drop
A redesign or CMS change introduced broken redirect chains, lost rankings, and crawl errors.
Pages not appearing in Google’s index
Important pages stay unindexed weeks after publication due to crawlability or configuration errors.
Keyword cannibalisation splitting authority
Multiple pages targeting overlapping keywords compete against each other, not Google.
Competitors outrank you for your own keywords
Rivals consistently rank above you without an obvious reason until now.
- Why invest
Why Every Growth-Focused Business Needs Professional SEO Audit Services
A professional SEO website audit is the strategic foundation every successful SEO campaign is built on. Without it, you are optimising blindly.
Identify What Actually Suppresses Rankings
Cross-references technical health, content relevance, backlink authority, and UX signals to pinpoint the precise combination of factors limiting your visibility not just surface-level errors any free tool can flag.
Prioritise Fixes by Revenue Impact
Every finding is categorised by its estimated impact on traffic and revenue so your team focuses where it drives the most measurable return not just the easiest technical tidying.
Stay Ahead of Algorithm Changes
Regular website SEO audit services keep your site aligned with current ranking signals from Core Web Vitals to structured data requirements and AI-powered search features.
Gain Competitive Intelligence
Benchmark against real search competitors. Smarketa audits include a competitor gap analysis revealing exactly where rivals earn authority you don’t and what it takes to overtake them.
Build a Technically Sound Foundation
Our SEO technical audit services eliminate crawl budget waste, improper canonicalisation, and broken internal link chains before they undermine your broader SEO investment.
Eliminate Content Strategy Guesswork
Investing in content and link building without auditing first means building on a flawed foundation. An audit ensures every investment goes further.
- What’s included
Smarketa’s SEO Website Audit Services All Six Layers
Our professional SEO audit services cover six interconnected audit layers, all feeding into a single consolidated action plan prioritised by commercial impact.
Technical SEO Audit Services
Our SEO technical audit services form the backbone of every engagement. We systematically evaluate every technical element affecting how search engines crawl, render, and index your website including site architecture, URL structure, internal linking depth, crawl budget allocation, robots.txt configuration, XML sitemap health, HTTPS implementation, and server response codes.
We assess Core Web Vitals performance (LCP, INP, and CLS) across desktop and mobile, identifying render-blocking resources, unoptimised images, and server response issues contributing to poor page experience scores. We also review your .htaccess file, 301 redirect chains, and JavaScript-dependent content invisible to search engine crawlers. Every technical issue is documented with a specific fix.
Onsite SEO Audit Service (On-Page)
Our onsite SEO audit service examines every on-page element influencing your ability to rank for target keywords. We review title tags, meta descriptions, heading hierarchy (H1–H6), keyword density and placement, image alt text, internal linking structure, anchor text diversity, and content length across your priority pages.
Beyond individual page factors, we identify systemic on-page issues: duplicate title tags, missing meta descriptions, thin content pages diluting domain authority, pages competing for the same keywords (cannibalisation), and content failing to match the search intent of its target queries. Each finding includes a specific rewrite or optimisation recommendation.
Off-Page Authority & Backlink Audit
Your off-page profile accounts for a significant portion of your ranking authority. Our website SEO audit services include a deep analysis of your inbound link profile: domain authority distribution, anchor text diversity, toxic or spammy backlink identification, trust flow metrics, and link velocity trends over time.
We benchmark your backlink profile against your top-ranking competitors, identifying the domain gap between your current authority and what is required to compete. If disavow action is warranted, we document it. Specific link acquisition opportunities unlinked brand mentions, competitor link sources are surfaced too.
Ecommerce Content & Keyword Mapping
A site can have excellent technical health and still fail to rank if its content doesn’t align with how target audiences actually search. Our content audit cross-references your existing pages against keyword search intent, identifying gaps where high-value queries are unaddressed, low-intent pages consuming crawl budget, and cannibalisation between overlapping keyword clusters.
We use content SEO principles to map pages to specific keyword targets, assess semantic coverage, and recommend whether pages should be consolidated, rewritten, redirected, or removed. The output is a content matrix your team can action immediately.
AI Visibility & Structured Data Audit
AI-powered search is reshaping how users discover websites. Google’s AI Overviews, ChatGPT, Perplexity, and other generative engines pull from structured, entity-rich content and websites without proper schema markup are invisible to these surfaces. Our audit assesses your current structured data implementation, identifies missing or misconfigured schema types, and evaluates how AI models represent your brand.
We recommend and deliver ready-to-deploy schema markup code for Service, FAQPage, Organization, LocalBusiness, BreadcrumbList, and Review schema ensuring your content is visible across both traditional and AI-powered search experiences.
UX & Conversion Audit
Organic traffic that doesn’t convert is wasted investment. Our UX audit evaluates the quality of the experience your website delivers to visitors arriving from search examining page layout, navigation clarity, mobile usability, CTA placement, form functionality, and conversion path logic.
We identify friction points suppressing lead generation or sales and recommend specific improvements that complement your SEO performance with measurable commercial gains. This section directly informs how your SEO investment translates into pipeline.

- What we find
Common Issues Our Website SEO Audit Services Uncover
Every website is different, but certain categories of problem appear repeatedly in our audits almost always with a measurable impact on rankings.
Crawlability & Indexation Errors
Pages blocked by incorrect robots.txt directives, noindex tags on important content, or broken XML sitemaps preventing Google from indexing your most valuable pages.
Slow Page Speed & Poor Core Web Vitals
Oversized images, render-blocking JavaScript, excessive third-party scripts, and under-configured server caching suppressing rankings and user experience scores.
Keyword Cannibalisation
Multiple pages targeting overlapping keywords split authority and confuse search engines. Identified and resolved with consolidation, redirection, or structural restructuring.
Thin & Duplicate Content
Pages with insufficient depth, auto-generated text, or near-identical copy across multiple URLs actively suppress your domain’s overall authority.
Toxic & Low-Quality Backlinks
Links from spammy, irrelevant, or penalised domains are a direct ranking liability. We identify every problematic link and produce a disavow file where warranted.
Missing or Misconfigured Schema
Most websites lack schema entirely or implement it incorrectly making content less intelligible to both traditional search engines and AI discovery platforms.
Broken Internal Links & Orphaned Pages
Broken links and pages with no internal links pointing to them starve key pages of the authority they need to rank. We map your complete internal link architecture.
Improper Canonicalisation
Incorrect canonical tags across product variants, pagination, or parameter URLs confuse Google diluting ranking signals across duplicate versions of your content.

Frequently Asked Questions About SEO Audit Services
Everything you need to know before commissioning a professional website SEO audit.
What are SEO audit services?
How much does an SEO audit cost?
SEO audit costs vary based on website size, complexity, and depth of analysis required. Basic automated audits are inexpensive but surface-level. A professional SEO audit from Smarketa is priced according to scope. Contact us for a custom quote tailored to your website and goals.
How long does an SEO audit take?
A thorough professional SEO audit typically takes 2–4 weeks to complete, depending on your website’s size and complexity. Smarketa’s process includes an initial kick-off meeting, a comprehensive analysis phase, and a full audit review session where our team walks you through every finding and recommended fix.
What is the difference between a technical SEO audit and a full SEO audit?
A technical SEO audit focuses exclusively on backend and structural factors crawlability, indexation, site speed, Core Web Vitals, robots.txt, sitemaps, and HTTPS. A full SEO audit service encompasses all of this plus on-page optimisation, off-page backlink analysis, content quality assessment, keyword mapping, and UX review. Smarketa delivers full-spectrum coverage across every layer.
How often should I commission an SEO audit?
We recommend a comprehensive SEO audit every 6–12 months, or immediately following a major website redesign, CMS migration, significant algorithm update, or unexplained drop in organic traffic. Regular website audit services help you stay ahead of ranking changes and maintain a technically healthy, competitive site.
What happens after the SEO audit is complete?
Smarketa delivers a detailed report with every issue categorised by impact and implementation difficulty, followed by a full review call. You can implement in-house or continue with Smarketa’s full suite Technical SEO, Content SEO, and Link Building to execute the action plan on your behalf.
Can you audit large eCommerce websites?
Yes. Smarketa’s SEO audit services are fully scalable for eCommerce websites on Shopify, WooCommerce, Magento, and BigCommerce. We handle complex site architectures, large product catalogues, faceted navigation issues, duplicate content from product filters, and crawl budget management all common eCommerce SEO audit challenges.
Why use a professional SEO audit agency rather than free tools?
Free SEO audit tools scan for surface-level issues but cannot interpret context, prioritise fixes by revenue impact, or identify nuanced problems like keyword cannibalisation, intent misalignment, or entity gaps. A professional SEO audit agency like Smarketa combines AI-powered analysis with experienced human interpretation giving you a roadmap that is specific, actionable, and commercially focused.
