SEO Audit
A professional audit of your technical health, on-page factors, content and backlink profile, delivered as a prioritised action plan in 7 to 10 working days, with a walkthrough call.
What is it?
What is the RankViaLinks SEO audit?
A full review of every layer that decides whether Google ranks you. Each issue comes with a priority, an owner and a plain-English fix.
Action plan in 7 to 10 working days, plus a walkthrough call with the specialist who ran it.
9 areas checked. Walkthrough call included.
Your report
What your report looks like
Six things that make it different from any automated SEO report you have opened.
Priority matrix
Every issue scored by impact and effort, so your team fixes the right things first.
Priority labels
Critical vs nice to fix, so nobody burns a sprint on issues that do not move rankings.
Owner tags
Each issue tagged for developers, content or SEO. No meetings about who owns the fix.
Developer-ready tickets
Precise, reproducible descriptions with examples and acceptance criteria.
Walkthrough call
We take your team through the findings, agree priorities and answer questions.
Optional implementation
We can fix the technical issues ourselves or work alongside your developers.
9 areas
What the audit checks
Every area is checked against your competitors and your commercial priorities. Anything that fails lands in your report with its own fix.
Included in every audit:
- Technical SEO: crawl errors, redirects, canonicals, hreflang, robots and sitemaps
- Indexation: what is indexed that should not be, and what is missing
- Core Web Vitals and speed on real devices (LCP, INP, CLS)
- Site architecture and click depth to money pages
- Internal linking: where link equity pools and where it starves
- Metadata and on-page: titles, descriptions, headings, duplication
- Content gaps, cannibalisation and outdated pages
- Backlink profile: authority, relevance, anchors and toxic links
- Competitor analysis: why the sites above you rank

What a proper SEO audit covers
An SEO audit should answer one question: what is stopping this site from ranking, and what should we fix first? Many audits are long lists of automated warnings. Ours is a prioritised plan, written by people, that separates the few issues that matter from the many that do not.
Crawling and indexation
Can Google find, crawl and index your important pages? We check robots.txt, sitemaps, canonical tags, noindex tags, redirect chains, status codes and the Page indexing report in Search Console to find pages that are excluded when they should not be.
Site architecture and internal links
How deep are your money pages, and how much internal link authority reaches them? We map the structure, find orphan pages and weak hubs, and show how to route authority to the pages that earn revenue.
Content and on-page
Titles, headings, duplication, thin pages and keyword cannibalisation, where several pages compete for the same query. We identify pages to merge, improve or remove.
Backlink profile
Where your links come from, how they compare with competitors, and whether any patterns put you at risk. The result feeds straight into a link plan.
Performance and Core Web Vitals
Loading, interactivity and layout stability, measured with field data where available, with fixes explained in developer-ready terms.
This is right for you if
- Traffic has dropped and you do not know why
- You are planning a redesign or migration
- You want a clear priority list before investing in links or content
It is not the right fit if
- You only want an automated report (free tools do that)
- You already have a recent audit and just need the fixes implemented (see technical SEO)
How long does an SEO audit take?
It depends on the size of the site. We confirm the timeline and a fixed price after a short scoping call.
What access do you need?
Read access to Google Search Console and, ideally, Google Analytics. We can audit without them, but Search Console data makes the findings far more precise.
Will you fix the issues too?
We can. Fixes can be delivered as developer-ready tickets for your team, or implemented by us through our technical SEO service.
