Learn the essentials
Clear, practical answers to common questions about SEO Audits.
An SEO audit is a structured review of the issues and opportunities affecting a site's organic search performance. It can cover crawling, indexing, architecture, technical configuration, content, internal links, structured data, backlinks, performance, and how well pages satisfy search intent.
The right frequency depends on site size and change rate. Large or frequently deployed sites benefit from continuous technical monitoring, while smaller sites may use periodic reviews plus checks after migrations, redesigns, CMS changes, or major traffic drops.
Prioritize by expected impact, confidence, effort, and risk. Indexing blocks, incorrect canonicals, broken templates, or widespread internal-link problems usually deserve attention before minor metadata issues affecting a handful of low-value pages.
Crawlers are excellent at detecting patterns, but they cannot fully understand business importance, search intent, editorial quality, or whether an issue actually affects performance. Use automated findings as evidence that requires prioritization, not as a universal to-do list.
Record the issue, affected URLs or templates, evidence, likely impact, recommended fix, owner, priority, and how success will be verified. Good documentation prevents the same problems from being rediscovered and helps developers understand why a change matters.
