TECHNICAL SEO AUDIT

FOR WORDPRESS WEBSITES

What’s the goal of a technical SEO Audit?

The goal of our technical onsite search engine optimization audit is to identify and prioritize SEO opportunities and technical optimization weakness in an attempt to satisfy Google’s Mission in a way that applies to the business via the evaluation of a current, existing website.

Ok, so what’s Google’s Mission?

“Organize the world’s information and make it universally accessible and useful.”

Ok, so how do we do it?

A full onsite and technical optimization evaluation of your existing website.  The result is a customized plan of action for targeted performance improvement in organic search engine results.

When all is said and done, you will have a prioritized list of what to do to get your website out performing your competition. You can have your team fix the issues we find, or you can hire Search Appeal.

Why work with Search Appeal?

Onsite SEO is the foundation of a website that gives it the potential to rank in search engines. Without proper onsite SEO and organization, no matter how much link building you do or money you spend, the likelihood of ranking for your given keywords is slim to none.

It is by far the most important part of SEO in my opinion, and without proper onsite optimization being made, any other SEO efforts are for naught.

I’ve had the pleasure of working with Search Appeal on a few projects, and there truly isn’t anyone else I’d trust more with technical SEO than [them]. I’ve seen a lot of marketers that just don’t get the results clients need.

While some SEO experts go on conference circuits to gain clients and clout, Meghan keeps her head down and gets real work with REAL results.  If you opt to work with Search Appeal, you have my word you’ll be working with them for years to come.

What do we cover in an SEO Audit?

TECHNICAL SEO

Technical SEO is the practice of optimizing a website to facilitate crawling and indexing by search engines. It also involves any technical process meant to improve the search visibility of your website. In order to complete this process, we must first gather baseline data on how your site currently exists. Without this information, we won’t know what to fix.

  • CMS Health

  • Server Health

  • URL Response Codes // Directives

  • Qualified URLs & SSL Implementation

  • Analytics & Search Console Check
