What Is an SEO Audit?
An SEO audit is an analysis of all factors that affect a website’s visibility in search engines, including on-site and off-site elements. SEO audits help website owners identify errors that can prevent a website or its web pages from ranking well in the search engine results pages (SERPs).
SEO audits scan a website for a variety of problems that can impact search engine optimization (SEO), including:
- Crawling errors
- Indexing issues
- Duplicate content
- Mobile-friendliness
- Site speed
- Core Web Vitals
- Site structure
- Broken links (internal and external)
- Improper redirects
- Backlink profile
- On-page keyword optimization
- Off-site anchor text distribution
- Domain Authority score
- Individual Page Authority scores
- Citation Flow
- Trust Flow
After an SEO audit is complete, a roadmap is then created for fixing any technical SEO errors and improving optimization performance for the website.
