Website Technical & Search Audit
How To Hire An SEO in
2018
Google recently released the
video above. It’s a useful guide and goes into some detail about why an SEO
needs to perform an SEO Audit in 2018.
For those who require it is a
useful introduction to the content on this page and the technical website
review service I provide.
What is a SEO Audit,
and How Can It Help Your Business?
A technical SEO Audit should
clearly highlight the changes that need to be made to your website to meet
Google’s demands for a ‘high-quality’ website.
We provide that type of analysis,
and you can buy a buy a technical and search audit
report online today.
Meeting these demands is the
first step in successfully driving more traffic and sales via your website from
Google organic search results in 2018.
If you fail to meet Google’s
requirements your company website may not gain long-term traction in Google
search engine results pages.
Google organic search has
sent this Webimx site around 2 million new visitors, for free,
since I launched Webimx in 2009. That’s a result of Google.co.uk
ranking us on the first page or thereabouts of organic listings out of millions
of competing pages for terms like ‘SEO’ and ‘link building’- to name a few of
the keywords we rank high for.
We also hit the front page of Reddit, not that long ago and as a result
of our own successful content marketing strategy.
Our rankings and content
marketing strategy are interlinked, and to achieve those results, we had to
jump through a lot of hoops.
We use content
marketing, search engine optimisation and natural link building
strategies to drive ‘free’ or, more accurately, ‘unpaid’ Google (and
Bing) organic traffic – as this type of activity is exactly what Google says, on
record, wants to reward. Bing, also, has very similar quality guidelines that
should be met.
As a result of this strategy, we
have never had to use any method of traditional paid advertising to
drive traffic to this site in ten years.
Getting a substantial amount of
unpaid traffic from Google, despite the search engine giant’s constant
algorithm changes, is no simple feat.
We provide this strategy,
experience, knowledge and my data reports (which I use to coordinate projects)
as SEO audit services to businesses all around the world that need it.
Our professional SEO
audit services are tailored for any English language business, and can be
tailored to small business websites or large, multi-national e-commerce
websites. We have clients of both kinds in the UK, the United States, Canada,
Australia and New Zealand to name but a few.
In fact – we recently got this
feedback from our audit service on a site with millions of pages:
Thanks for this. I did a few of
these with a number of companies as a test and the way you have approached it
is easily most impressive. I would like to talk about a larger ongoing
relationship to help us build a killer strategy. As you can see we are a pretty
complex beast.
Why You Are Here
If you’ve come to
this page, you’re looking for expert SEO advice how to make your site rank
higher in Google, so you can make more profit from your business on the web. For
that to happen, you’ll need a snapshot of your current web marketing efforts,
compared with your competition for the key phrases you want to rank high
for.
You’ll need to know
the signals of quality and relevance that are missing from your site,
the quality signals that Google looks for when deciding which page to rank
above another page in its SERPs (Search Engine Results Pages).
You need a ‘search
engine optimisation audit’ or what Google calls in the video above, a Technical & Search Audit.
And not just a generic SEO
report – you need one tailored specifically to YOUR site and YOUR
niche.
We can deliver that
report for you in around 5 working days, dependant on site size, and
offer very clear instructions on the changes that need to be made to your
website and individual pages to improve organic, or natural, unpaid traffic
from Google.
My team can cost and deploy
a project for you based on this analysis, OR your in-house team can
carry out the work, with our support, and our online reports, if need be.
We can help your business make
more money from your web marketing efforts by helping you understand how
Google judges the quality of your website based on extensive analysis of
your website and wider marketing activity (a ‘reflection’ of which can be
found online).
We optimise websites
to get more traffic from Google. To do that without risk, we must
adhere to Google’s terms of competition for you, and our own protection,
and we aim from the very outset to ensure you fully understand HOW we
legitimately drive that unpaid organic traffic to your site.
If you know you need insightful
advice about what to do next from seasoned professionals
–
If you would like to learn more
about some of the advice contained in my audit, read on.
And for full transparency, I’ve
laid down on this page just SOME of the work we do to drive more
and better traffic to a website.
Example: When A SEO
AUDIT goes right:
We have a long history of
delivering insightful advice:
The above example is a
consultation we were involved in, where we worked as part of a
team and where we advised a customer on exactly what to do to their site to
make it more search engine friendly. It took the client some time to
implement our changes, but you can see from the analytics results, it was 6
months of sensible investment.
Why does it take so long to
implement changes? Well, not every item you need to check and tweak is an easy
task to drive through on a website. It has been designed that way by search
engines. Professional SEO for businesses is not about tricks anymore.
To get that result pictured
above, we carried out a programme of detailed keyword research that uncovered
exactly the keywords that the client was missing out on, unlocking more traffic
and sales from Google.
We encouraged the customer to get
the right content on the site, identified authority links they SHOULD have had
already, based on the quality links their competition had earned, and helped
create content that would generate new links from the new websites.
Adhering To Google
Webmaster Guidelines
We believe in
marketing your business online using only legitimate techniques, and our audits
focus on improving the quality ‘score’ of your website. We believe in
promoting a site using ethical marketing techniques and using methods that
are not frowned on by search engines like Google and Bing.
Google is a search engine that
penalises legitimate businesses for YEARS if it detects manipulation through
SEO on an industrial scale and especially if it
detects an INTENT to rank high in Google WITHOUT using high-quality
marketing strategies.
We DO NOT hack sites
and we DO NOT spam sites to make your site rank high in Google because
it is against the rules as laid down by Google.
The SEO industry is in a
transition period at the moment – because Google is forcing it to evolve. SEO
are in a transition period because Black hat SEO still works in areas of Google,
but real businesses cannot use it.
If your site is found to
be using black hat techniques then Google will demote your site – and real
businesses are often effectively penalised in Google – often for years – if you
do not take action to fix the issue.
It is too risky to sell that
stuff to clients and have any respect for myself, and it’s hard to hire a good
black hat these days – because the good ones are hard to find, for a reason.
I’ll stop selling SEO services
when Google makes white SEO redundant – and Google doesn’t want to do that. It
doesn’t want to turn us all into black hats just yet – so it rewards Webmasters
that strive to meet Google’s ever rising quality requirements to
rank high based on merit, and that as a result produces remarkable and relevant
content and – above all – a satisfying user experience for Google’s users.
They have made effective white
hat SEO REALLY, REALLY hard, but if they didn’t…. how do you rank billions of
pages in a search engine, if not by ‘quality signals’?
If you ignore Google’s guidelines
and employ low-quality techniques to promote your website, Google will not
trust your website, and that means no free traffic (or very little). We know
that’s devastating to a business, so we ensure we stick to
practices not likely to be devalued anytime soon.
That means investment in quality
content, and quality links, if you want stable traffic levels from Google.
Google recommends SEO companies
focus on specific areas, and in 2018, demands a site complies with its web
marketing guidelines.
The typical focus for a
professional SEO agency (taken directly from Google’s guidelines)
include :
1.
Review of your
site content or structure
2.
Technical
advice on website development: for example, hosting, redirects, error pages,
use of JavaScript
3.
Content
development
4.
Management of
online business development campaigns
5.
Keyword
research
6.
SEO training
THAT is explicitly
what we focus on.
We make your website content
accessible and relevant and build your ‘trust’, as far as Google is
concerned. I have been building processes and tools to do this for over 15
years.
Don’t get us wrong. We can’t do
it alone. We need support from you to achieve results – and we will tell you
what we need.
Our own website earns a lot of
unpaid traffic from search engines, and mainly Google, making us one of the
most visited search engine optimisation blogs in the UK, with over 20,000
subscribers, making us one of the most popular SEO blogs in the world.
We promote customer websites the
same way we promote our own site – highly tuned sites and compelling, useful
website content is at the very heart of our strategy.
We Help You Make More Sales
We put your business in front of
people looking for it, it’s products and services, when they type into Google a
keyword query to find *something*. To do that, we must compete with other
businesses doing the exact same thing to win that free Google traffic.
To win that battle, we must be
more creative than your competitors, and we must be able to do it FASTER than
them. If that’s not enough, we must do it all within Google’s strict
competition guidelines, who also want a piece of your business and even keep on
top of competitor sabotage. I’d imagine you want it as cheap as possible too.
First, we find out how customers
look for your business, and which keywords they use. We look at the popularity
and relevance of these keywords. We determine the intent behind particular
keyword combinations to find valuable opportunities. We focus in on crafting
pages around keywords that make your business money.
It’s called keyword research and
keyword analysis. Our bespoke tools give us a great capacity to quickly
generate keyword ideas for your business. We’ll help you discover what
potential customers are typing into Google for your business, products or
services, and we’ll share all this valuable insight with you. Our tools can
help take what used to take weeks to do and do it in seconds.
A Methodology Based on High-Quality
Techniques
Our methodology of focusing on
user experience, relevance and reputation gets fantastic results – and it’s
exactly how Google wants you to optimize your site.
Maximize opportunities by
focusing on building a quality destination for Google’s users, not by finding
flaws in how Google ranks pages, that it will fix 6 months down the line and penalize
everyone using the flaw to rank.
Our bespoke tools, which take a
lot of effort to maintain and upgrade, let us do many, many hours of work in a
fraction of the time, that help you identify exactly what you need to do to
rank in Google for any keyword search.
We Give You Clear Advice
We produce an easy to understand
task list of actions to take to optimize your website. If you follow our
advice, you’ll make your page more accessible, user-friendly, relevant and
reputable – it’s this combination that will get your page ranking in Google
(and Yahoo and Bing!). We do all the hard work – all that’s needed to do is
make the changes to your site (which we can naturally help with).
We examine your site on a page by
page basis and tell you exactly what to do to each page to improve rankings in
search engines. We’ll share our recommendations with you, so you know exactly
what we are doing, and we’ll track the performance of everything we do.
We Help You Get More Traffic
Let’s get this clear. This is
what we do – we create new text content, and we repackage existing content on
your site, to maximize the traffic Google will send you. We take
under-performing pages and rework them to create compelling content that
satisfies Google’s users. That’s what it is all about, first and foremost. When
visitors are satisfied, often they will share it on social media, and that
often leads to activity Google will base your reputation on. The higher your
reputation, the more traffic you will get, if you have a great website.
While we optimize your websites
to focus on particular keywords, we optimize your site for HUNDREDS of
potential key phrases, not just a few.

SEO tactics like ‘unnatural backlinks’ – so you will want to disavow these
links to protect your site from negative SEO attacks and punitive algorithms

This is not rocket science – ALL
we are doing is looking for opportunities to
make your website perform better.
We Audit Your Website
We forensically analyse your
website and work out how to best optimise it for the keywords you need to rank
for. Our technical SEO audits are amongst the most comprehensive reports you
will see about your website.
(The following image – and all
the images on this page – are from an old audit to protect our latest data and
we check a lot more in 2018 than a few years ago).
We Find Keywords Your Customers Are Using
An experienced SEO understands
how people search for things using Google.
We look at how potential
customers search for keywords related to your page, and from this data we can
decide how to optimise your current pages, and what new content may be needed to
compete.
The more relevant the page is for
a query, the better it will perform over the next year or two.
We Identify The Most Valuable Keywords
We scour multiple sources to
identify opportunity.
We check how many people are
typing in keywords to find your business, and check which of these keywords are
already on your page, and which are not. If you want to rank in Google for a
keyword, you’re probably going to have to have it on your page.
We Find THE Most Relevant Keywords To Focus
On
We’ll break down this analysis so
you can focus on the most important keywords driving traffic in your niche…
We Examine Keywords Related To Your
Business
…and look into related niches to
find out if there is actually more opportunity than in the area of your
original focus.
We Identify Any Historical Ranking Success
It’s important to know which
keywords are performing for your business. We look to improve this where
possible, and we certainly don’t want to unpick anything that is already
working for your business.
Complete Keyword Research
Collecting keyword research is
one thing. Compiling it and prioritising is another. You CAN”T rank for
EVERYTHING – we help you pick the battles you can win.
Keyword Research = SEO Success
When you know the keywords
customers are using to find your service, you can then optimise your website.
We lay down EXPLICIT ADVICE how to prepare your page to make it AS RELEVANT as
possible to Google WITHOUT breaking any rules. The MORE relevant you are to a
query, the more traffic you will get. We advise on what pages to address first,
what keywords to have on the page, what key phrases to have on the page, how to
build internal links to the page and how to optimise your page titles to
maximise the chance of attracting visitors.
We’ll Track Performance Of Our Work
We’ll evaluate current
performances and any opportunities you may have missed, on the page:
We’ll Track How The Website Performs
We’ll evaluate current
performances and any opportunities you may have missed, across the entire
website:
We Dig Deep To Look For Opportunity
It’s important to know which
keywords are actually driving traffic. Combining analytics data and
cross-referencing with keyword research, we can identify strengths and
weaknesses in your current marketing efforts. We can identify the terms driving
traffic to individual pages, and entire websites.
We Check That EVERY important keyword is
present
We’ll advise exactly the keywords
and key phrases you should be focused on to maximise traffic and sales.
We Carry Out Deep Analysis Of Your Website
We pull a lot of information together
to give us a complete picture of your page, and why it performs in Google. We
look at inbound links to the page, internal and external. We analyse who you
link to, and how you link out.
We Can Tell You Who Links To You
We’ll review your backlinks to
determine where we are starting from. It’s also incredibly important you review
your backlinks and deal with any risky links pointing to your site that me be
having a negative effect on your rankings in Google.
We’ll find out exactly who is
linking to you.
We Will Risk Assess Your Backlinks
We analyse your back links, we’ll
carry out a risk assessment. Google’s algorithm changes are designed to devalue
old style SEO and link building techniques. If you have a lot of low-quality
backlinks pointing at your site, you may find it hard to rank for anything
popular and valuable in Google. We’ll risk assess your current link profile,
and report back if you have any serious issues. We can manually identify any
potentially bad links and can handle any disavow and reconsideration request,
although this process will be priced separately, depending on the number of
domains linking to your site (which we can identify).
Over the last few years, we’ve
manually reviewed over 100,000 domains, and have built a very accurate database
of low-quality sites.
PLEASE NOTE – A full backlink
analysis is dependent on the number of links pointing at your site – and is out
with the cost of an entry-level search engine optimisation audit I provide
here – but we will be able to advise on the risk status of your backlink profile
– and focus on it if asked.
We Identify & Re-Engage Broken
BackLinks To Your Site
If your site is a few years old,
and undergone a few redesigns in its life, chances are you have some broken
back links you are not getting credit for. We check this as a good practice,
just in case.
We’ll Help You Identify Your Competitors
We analyse your competitors to
see how they are getting top ranking in Google. We ONLY focus on finding
quality links and normally this is like finding a needle in a haystack. We look
for any quality back links that your competitors have earned that that your
business could benefit from too – and then we chase them down. A BIG part of
ranking in Google is how REPUTABLE your website is – and that is based on the
reputation of other sites linking to you.
During our analysis we’ll also
uncover the tactics your competitors are using to rank in Google.
We’ll examine the competitors who
are currently enjoying high rankings in Google to identify strategies that you
can employ to compete.
We’ll Help You Identify Your Competitors’
Top Content
We’ll help you identify the top
performing content on these top sites, to identify the types of content that
will be needed to generate links in your niche.
We’ll Help You Identify Your Competitors’
Top BackLinks
We’ll help you identify the very
best links in the niche, based on a unique set of quality signals we are
looking for. We’re looking for good, powerful, trusted domains that link to
your competitors, so we can see if we can get those links too, or links like
them.
We’ll Help You Identify Your Top Performing
Content
Our tools plug into Google
Webmaster Tools, AKA Search Console, and we can create custom reports depending
on client needs, that offer insight into website performance.
We’ll Spot Opportunities To Rank Better
We monitor rankings to get a feel
for how Google is treating your site and it’s content. We can quickly identify
which keywords in your niche you are not ranking for.
What Are The Top Keywords Driving Traffic
To My Site?
We track performance of the
keywords you want to focus on, so we can see how Google is treating your
content.
Who Do You Link To?
Who you link to and how you link
to them is INCREDIBLY important in 2018, if you want Google to trust your site
as much as possible. We can quickly see and monitor who you link to and risk
assess.
How Does Google See My Site?
We show you (kind of) how Google
sees your site, from a purely technical point of view.
We look at Many Sources To Get The Data
Needed
We compare Analytics, Webmaster
Tools and Technical Information, and information we get in our crawl side by
side to look for opportunity for you to make Google trust you more.
We’ll Identify Poorly Optimised Pages
We’ll quickly and easily identify
the content on your site that is under performing, and come up with a plan to
maximise the future performance of that content – because THAT is how you get
more traffic from Google without breaking the rules. There are many reasons
pages perform. It may be that page titles are poorly optimised or that the
content is below par in 2018.
Identify Underperforming Pages For
Consolidation Purposes
Kill two birds with one stone.
Reduce the amount of low-quality pages on your site receiving NO visits from
Google, and combine that content with pages that ARE getting traffic, for a
legitimate ranking boost with the same content. The image below shows my target
page (orange) and the combined traffic of all the pages on a particular topic
(about 20) – and what happened to traffic once these pages were consolidated in
an intelligent way.
We identify that content.
Rank Sampling
We track your rankings to get a
complete picture of your performance.
Google Analytics
We look to see what the effect of
all this activity is having on traffic levels from your site, and use this to
identify where your site is underperforming.
Our aim is to drive MORE RELEVANT
TRAFFIC to the site.
We do that by detecting obvious
areas of potential opportunity.
100% Transparency
We are 100% transparent on how we
come up with our advice. You know your business better than us. We want
you to see all the data we looked at so you can ensure we are focused on the
same goals as you. When optimising a site, you want to know everything about
the page in question.
We highlight everything we’ve
analysed, from the source code up.
SEO Training Modules
Don’t worry if you’re not SEO
literate – our reports are designed to be a training help for people new to SEO
– so your in-house team learn fast!
Our technical report comes
complete with training modules explaining to you why we need to address
particular items, so you are never in the dark as to what we are doing, and why
we are doing it.
Multi-Purpose
Reporting
A real benefit of choosing Webimx
as your SEO audit provider, is how we can quickly mash all this data together
and pick out the insight you need to get more visitors from Google.
We focus on the most important
areas FIRST.
On Demand SEO
Reporting
Our on-demand tools give us a
unique ability to get exactly the data we know we need to create a successful
marketing campaign for you.
We love what we do
You do not rank high in Google in
2018 without using high-quality techniques. If you search for our services
online, chances are you will see us on the front page of Google for THE most
competitive terms in our very competitive industry.
We manage to stay there, or
thereabouts while competitors using low-quality ranking techniques come
and go.
Let’s finish on the type of
company we are not. We do not guarantee rankings (no ethical SEO company
can) and we do not work with just any business who contacts us.
