SEO Audits are typically broken down as follows:
- Indexation Issues – The WO Strategies team analyze all issues with your website being added to search indexes. Why is this a problem? You can’t get organic traffic to your pages if they haven’t even been added to the search engine index (Google and Bing). They will also look at robots files and XML sitemaps to bot loops, page load speed and other areas affecting indexing.
- On-Site SEO – The key areas of on-site optimization that have the greatest impact on SEO, from keyword selection, copy quality, URL structure, site usability, Schema markup and much more.
- External Linking – One of the top two most important areas driving ranking in Google today is the quality and number of links to your content. WO Strategies will analyze the key areas of external linking, addressing things such as link quality and volume of links in comparison to your competitors and topicality as well as anchor text, and local citations.
- Social Media –They will investigate how you’re using social media to support your organic rankings AND how well you’re integrating your search and social efforts to enhance your social visibility. We look at reach, mentions, integrations, and other factors.
Audit Deliverables Include:
- SEO Audit Document – The finished audit is delivered as an enhanced PDF and an associated spreadsheet checklist with the issues in priority order which you can use to track resolution of the issues. Each element of the audit explains why the factor matters and links out to reputable resources that will aid you in implementing the changes.
- Keyword Research Suggestions –The discovery call includes a walk-through of your business goals, personas and target keywords. They highlight keyword opportunities that you’re not taking advantage of based on your personas which are likely to drive real ROI for your business.
- Site Crawl Report – The team uses a customized tool to crawl through your website just as a search engine does, to help us identify key areas in need of improvement. If your team would like access to this raw data, the raw details can absolutely be provided.
