What is an SEO Audit? What’s Included and What Results to Expect

What is an SEO Audit?

There is no better place to start with an SEO consultant than with an SEO audit.

In short, an SEO audit is a snapshot of where your website stands, and ranks, with Google and where are the opportunities to grow your website through increased organic search engine traffic from Google search.

The emphasis of an SEO audit is to open executives eyes and identify opportunities to grow revenue.

A thorough SEO audit is both complex and highly specialized. And yet, an audit produces some of the most fascinating insights that can be applied in so many other areas of the business.

Many clients think of the actual technical audit itself. No doubt, those elements are important. But many companies nowadays recognize the strategic value that SEO brings to bear in the overall digital workspace.

SEO insights, from an audit, can even inform traditional brand advertising early on in the process of creative conceptualization.

That’s right – SEO plays a pivotal role in many unforeseen ways.

Below are broad categories of technical SEO audit elements that are included in the scope of work. Also included are sample items that fall within each category.

Syreo presents all the SEO audit findings through the eyes of the customer, sharing actionable insights, key recommendations, and an SEO roadmap for success going forward.

Syreo will help you prioritize the recommendations based on impact, and business needs.

While an SEO audit represents a significant investment, the audit results live on well beyond the audit itself. When done properly, an SEO audit returns a significant ROI.

Further, unlike paid search, which disappears immediately when stopped, SEO continues to inform, day after day, year after year with evergreen content within your website.

As your trusted SEO consultant, we will show you how to incorporate SEO into most everything you do, including a suggested workflow to make it a routine part of your everyday practices.

SEO Audit Results with Websites

There is no better place to start with an SEO consultant than with an SEO website audit.

A thorough SEO website audit is both complex and highly specialized. And yet, it produces some of the most fascinating insights that can be applied in so many other areas of the business.

Syreo was hired to do SEO expert analysis of Subaru Service, Parts & Accessories, with offices located in New York, NY, and discovered their branded keyword ranking was suffering due to light-content associated with video content on their website. The SEO audit revealed a lack of text on their primary web pages allowing competitors to outrank Subaru in Google search. The recommendation was to transcribe video content with accordian buttons to increase the user experience (UX) on the page. The resulting HTML text increased rankings inside Google search enbine result pages (SERP).

Robb Report, located outside Los Angeles, California, was suffering in organic search rankings due to non-optimized on-page SEO on their news articles. Our expert SEO audit revealed the lack of a Google News sitemap to ping Googlebot when new stories were published. The results were 14% more organic search traffic month-over-month from Google search. A big win when the website depends on ad revenue.

After a full-scale website rebuild, DTE Energy, located in Detroit, Michigan, noticed an increase of organic search traffic from 21% of overall traffic to 39% of overall visitor traffic. The increase of nearly fifty-percent reflected massive revenue in online bill payments from their customers coming from organic search. This expert SEO audit yielded a big win for DTE.

Many clients think of the actual technical audit itself. No doubt, those elements are important. But many companies nowadays recognize the strategic value that SEO brings to bear in the overall digital workspace.

SEO insights can even inform traditional brand advertising early on in the process of creative conceptualization.

That’s right – SEO plays a pivotal role in many unforeseen ways.
