Service  /  SEO Audits

SEO audits.

An audit is where every engagement starts. We find where the growth is, then hand you a prioritised plan you can act on straight away.

  • See exactly what is holding your rankings back.
  • Benchmark your visibility and share of voice against competitors.
  • Understand how often AI answer engines name you, and who they name instead.
  • Get a prioritised plan you can act on straight away.
Process  /  How it works

We look everywhere growth could come from.

The audit is the foundation for everything that follows. We work through your site, your competitors and your presence in AI, then turn what we find into a plan you can act on.

01
We map the baseline

We pull your current rankings, traffic, backlinks and AI presence, so we know exactly where you stand before we start.

02
We audit the technical foundations

We check crawl, indexing, speed and site structure to find the issues quietly holding your pages back.

03
We assess trust and content

We review your authorship, E-E-A-T signals and on-page content against the standard Google expects in your sector.

04
We benchmark against competitors

We compare your visibility and share of voice on the money terms, and identify where the biggest opportunities sit.

05
We hand you the plan

You get a prioritised roadmap, ordered by impact, that your team or ours can act on straight away.

I collaborated with Forte Analytica for years to acquire high value links for my clients, and they always delivered. The links were top notch and helped drive meaningful ranking and traffic improvements.

Why it works  /  The benefits
Technical health

We identify issues across crawl, indexing and page speed, then set out the fixes that let your pages rank.

E-E-A-T and YMYL readiness

We check whether your pages carry the authorship, trust signals and on-page content Google expects, which matters most in sectors it judges harder, like health and finance.

Visibility and share of voice

We map where you rank against competitors on the terms that drive revenue, and where the biggest gains are.

AI and answer engine presence

We measure how often assistants name you, and who they name instead, so you know where you stand in the channel that is growing fastest.

Backlink and authority baseline

A full review of your backlink profile, flagging risk and setting a clear path to close the gap with competitors.

A prioritised roadmap

You get a clear, ordered plan of what to fix first, ranked by impact, so the work starts on the things that move the needle.

FAQ  /  Common questions

Answers before you ask.

What does the audit cover?
Technical health, E-E-A-T and YMYL readiness, visibility and share of voice against competitors, your presence in AI answer engines, and a full backlink baseline.
Is the audit a one-off or ongoing?
The full audit is a one-off that sets your baseline and plan. From there, we re-audit continually as part of an ongoing engagement to keep closing the gap with competitors.
Do you cover regulated sectors like health and finance?
Yes. These are the sectors Google judges hardest, so we pay particular attention to authorship, trust signals and the standards a Your Money or Your Life site has to meet.
Do you look at AI visibility too?
Yes. We measure how often answer engines name you and who they name instead, so you can see where you stand in the fastest-growing channel.
What do I get at the end?
A clear, prioritised roadmap ordered by impact, so you know exactly what to fix first, whether your team or ours does the work.
Can you implement the fixes as well?
Yes. Many clients move straight from the audit into an ongoing engagement where we work alongside their developers and content team to put the plan into action.
