What’s Needed In An SEO Audit Service?
What Is An SEO Audit?
You want your company’s online presence to grow so it becomes THE AUTHORITY in your industry. To do so the content on your site must be seen as important to the people who visit it – and to search engines like Google. An SEO Audit breaks down how your site is performing for its chosen keywords, where it can perform better in those areas, and provides a roadmap for doing so.
The old SEO strategies are not going to cut it anymore. Gone are the days of keyword stuffing, creating multiple pages for different keyword variants, and attempting to drive traffic with multiple microsites.
Criteria and ranking factors have changed considerably over the last decade. As you may know, mobile-friendly sites that are optimized for user intent are preferred by search engines. Those search engines, such as Google, Bing, and Yahoo, use algorithms to crawl your website and compare it to various ranking factors that indicate usability and relevance.
Your site’s accessible pages are crawled to determine if it contains useful and legitimate content. While crawling your web, search engines are looking for information on how safe, fast, and easy-to-use it is.
Then each page is assigned a rank, which determines how high it appears in the search engine results page (SERP) for people looking for similar keywords.
Ranking for those keywords, in a nutshell, is what SEO is all about, and you should know this field is continuously evolving.
Each search engine has its own algorithm, which is improved or changed on a regular basis with updates. However, these algorithm updates are not the only thing to be concerned about.
Your competitors are also vying for a higher ranking than you. To stay ahead of them, old content must be replaced. You must also be able to respond to new SEO tactics and avoid red flags as the rules change. Worst of all, something on your website could be seriously broken, preventing qualified traffic from flowing to your site.
This is why, in order to keep up with the search engine demands, a regular SEO audit is required.
You are checking the health of your website when you conduct an SEO audit.
Because search algorithms and technology evolve at a rapid pace, you should conduct mini-audits on a monthly basis.
They should not, however, be used in place of a full SEO audit. These can be done every 4-6 months or whenever your website undergoes a significant change.
