An SEO audit that ends in a fix list, not a PDF

Most audits are a crawler export with commentary. Two hundred and eighty issues, all flagged critical, no order, no effort estimate, and nothing that tells a developer what to do on Monday. Ours ends in an ordered list with hours attached, and you can hand it to anyone.

  • Fix list priced and ordered
  • 2-3 weeks start to handover
  • Yours usable by any developer

Partners & recognition

The stack we work in, the clients we keep

The platforms we build and run campaigns in, and the clients whose numbers we publish with their names on. HubSpot is the one partnership we claim; the rest are tools we use, not badges.

  • German Medical Center
  • The Reformery Clinic
  • Alma Laser
  • Roxana Aesthetics Clinic
  • Lamel
  • Dotline Studios

The problem

The crawler found 280 problems

A tool can tell you what is wrong. It cannot tell you which three of those things are costing you money, and that is the only part of an audit worth paying for.

Why most audits change nothing

  1. Everything is marked critical

    When a report flags 280 critical issues, nothing is critical. A missing alt tag on a footer icon sits in the same red box as a noindex on your highest-value page. The prioritisation is the deliverable and the tool cannot do it.

  2. No effort estimate, so nothing gets scheduled

    A development team cannot plan against a list with no hours on it. The audit lands in a shared drive, a sprint gets planned without it, and six months later somebody commissions another audit that finds the same things.

  3. It ignores what the site is for

    Fixing crawl depth on a blog archive nobody buys from, while the product templates leak conversions, is technically correct and commercially pointless. An audit needs to know which pages make money.

  4. Nobody checks whether the fixes shipped

    The audit is delivered, invoiced and forgotten. Half the recommendations are still open a year later and there is no record of which ones were rejected on purpose versus which ones simply got lost.

What is included

What the audit actually covers

Everything below is checked. What makes the fix list is what is costing you something, in the order it should be fixed.

Crawling and indexing

What Google can reach, what it has chosen to index, and the gap between them. Log file analysis where server logs are available, because crawl budget arguments made without logs are guesswork.

Site architecture and internal linking

How authority moves through the site and where it stops. Orphan pages, click depth from the homepage, and whether your money pages are actually linked to from anywhere that matters.

On-page and template review

Audited per template rather than per page, because a fault in a template is one fix that corrects thousands of URLs. Titles, headings, canonical logic, pagination and structured data.

Core Web Vitals and real-world speed

Field data from the Chrome UX Report first, lab data second. A perfect Lighthouse score on a developer's laptop tells you very little about a customer on a phone in Deira.

Content and cannibalisation

Which of your own pages compete for the same query. This is more common than most teams expect and it is usually the cheapest ranking gain available, because the fix is consolidation rather than creation.

Backlink profile

What you have, what is toxic, and what your competitors have that you do not. Including an honest read on whether disavowal is warranted, which it usually is not.

International and hreflang

For sites serving the UAE alongside other markets, or Arabic alongside English. Hreflang is easy to get subtly wrong and hard to notice, and the symptom is the wrong language ranking in the wrong country.

AI answer surfaces

Whether your pages are being cited in AI answers, and whether your robots rules are quietly blocking the crawlers that feed them. Covered in depth on our GEO and AEO pages.

Technology

What we audit with

Several tools, because each has blind spots, and the disagreements between them are often where the real problem is.

Crawling

The site as a machine sees it.

  • Screaming Frog
  • Sitebulb
  • Log file analysis
  • Google Search Console

Performance

Field data first.

  • Chrome UX Report
  • PageSpeed Insights
  • WebPageTest
  • Lighthouse

Market

Because a site is audited against competitors.

  • Semrush
  • Ahrefs
  • ValueSERP live SERP data
  • Google Search Console

Validation

So the findings survive review.

  • Rich Results Test
  • Schema validator
  • Mobile-Friendly Test
  • hreflang validator

How we work

How the audit runs

Two to three weeks, fixed price, ending in a document plus a working session with whoever will implement it.

Before any opinions

Search Console, Analytics, server logs where available, and a full crawl. Plus the commercial context: which pages make money, which products carry margin, which markets matter. An audit without that context prioritises the wrong things confidently.

  • Full crawl at production scale
  • Search Console and Analytics reviewed
  • Server logs where available
  • Revenue-carrying pages identified

Symptom to cause

Rankings falling is a symptom. The cause might be a template change, a migration that dropped redirects, a competitor's new page, or a Google update. We separate the three, because the fixes are unrelated.

  • Issues traced to a cause, not just listed
  • Template-level faults isolated
  • Cannibalisation mapped
  • Competitor gap quantified

The part that makes it useful

Every finding gets an estimated impact, an estimated effort in developer hours, and a position in the queue. Anything we cannot estimate honestly is labelled as such rather than given a made-up number.

  • Impact and effort per item
  • Ordered queue, not a flat list
  • Quick wins separated from structural work
  • Items we would skip, and why

To whoever implements it

A working session with your developers or ours, going through the list until they can start. The document is written to be actioned by a team that was not in the audit, because usually it is.

  • Session with the implementing team
  • Written for a developer, not a marketer
  • Re-check offered after the fixes ship
  • No obligation to implement with us

Why us

Why this audit gets implemented

Because the reason most audits do not is structural, and it is fixable.

Every item has hours attached

A development team can put an estimated item into a sprint. They cannot plan against 'improve internal linking'. The estimate is what turns a finding into scheduled work.

Ordered by money, not by severity colour

The queue starts with what is costing you revenue now, which is frequently not what the crawler flagged red. Alt text on decorative icons does not outrank a broken canonical on a category template.

Handed over in a working session

Not emailed. We sit with the people who will implement it until they can start, because an audit that needs interpretation will not survive contact with a sprint planning meeting.

It is yours, and it is agency-agnostic

Written so any competent developer or agency can execute it. We would rather you fix the site than keep the document in a drawer waiting for us to have capacity.

Start a projectIf you only want to know whether something is badly wrong, say so. A short read is often enough to answer that, and we will tell you if a full audit is not warranted.

Questions

SEO audits, answered plainly

Including how often you actually need one, which is less often than you are told.

AED 7,500 to AED 30,000 covers most of what we are asked to build. The number moves on how many URLs and templates, whether log file analysis and international hreflang are in scope, how many languages, and whether the audit covers one site or a group. Anything quoted before those are known is a guess. We scope first, then price, and the scope document is yours whether or not you proceed. These are market ranges rather than a fixed rate card — the proposal carries the real figure.

A full one, roughly every twelve to eighteen months for a stable site. More often than that and you are mostly re-reading the same findings, because the previous list has not been implemented yet. The exceptions are worth knowing: audit before and after a migration, after a redesign, and when traffic drops without an obvious cause.

Two to three weeks for most sites. Large e-commerce catalogues or multi-market groups run longer. If we are waiting on Search Console access or server logs, that is usually what extends it, so both are worth arranging in week one.

Google Search Console and Analytics as a minimum, ideally read-only. Server logs and staging access make the audit substantially better. We can work without them and the crawl-budget section becomes inference rather than evidence, which we will label.

The observation that a small share of pages and fixes drives most of the result. It is broadly true and it is why prioritisation matters more than completeness. Treat it as a reason to sequence work rather than as a law — the specific 20 percent is different for every site, and finding it is what the audit is for.

No, but the shape of it has changed and anyone telling you otherwise in either direction is selling something. AI answers and zero-click results have taken a real bite out of informational traffic. Commercial queries, where someone is choosing a supplier, still go through a results page. The practical response is to stop measuring success in sessions and start measuring it in qualified enquiries.

Yes. Cannibalisation, thin pages, and the gap between what you have published and what your buyers search for. In practice the content findings often outrank the technical ones commercially, which surprises people who expected a technical document.

A written document with the findings traced to causes, a prioritised fix list with estimated impact and developer hours per item, the items we recommend skipping with reasons, and a working session with whoever implements it.

That is what it is written for. If they have questions afterwards we will answer them, and we offer a re-check once the work ships to confirm the fixes landed as intended.

The audit will not. Implementing it might. That distinction matters, because an audit that sits unimplemented is a cost with no return, which is why the fix list is priced and why we push hard on the handover.

No, and a meaningful share of our audits are implemented by the client's own team or by their existing agency. The document is deliberately written to be usable that way.

No questions match — try another search.

Next step

Traffic dropped and nobody can say why?

That is the case an audit is best at. Tell us roughly when it started and we will tell you whether it looks like a technical cause, a content one, or an update.
