Technical Audits
Also called a technical SEO audit — the same forensic-level review, engineer-led.
Forensic-level site analysis identifying every technical barrier to search performance. We solve the architecture puzzles other agencies miss.

Engineering-first technical analysis
Unlike generic SEO checkups, our audits are conducted by technical specialists with deep expertise in web infrastructure and search crawler behaviour.
We read the raw source code, server logs, and rendering pipelines to uncover hidden inefficiencies that throttle your organic visibility. The output is a data-driven, high-fidelity roadmap your development team can act on directly — see the results this approach has produced in our case studies.
Full-spectrum diagnostics

Frequently asked questions
What is a technical SEO audit?
A technical SEO audit is a structured review of the parts of a website that control whether search engines can crawl, render, and index it correctly — site architecture, page speed, mobile usability, structured data, security, and JavaScript rendering. Our version runs 200+ checkpoints and is conducted by engineers, not an automated scanner alone.
How long does a technical audit take to deliver?
We deliver the full findings and fix roadmap within a 48-hour window from when crawl and log-file access is confirmed. Complex multi-region or enterprise sites can extend this slightly, which we'll flag during scoping.
What's included in the audit report?
You receive a comprehensive technical report, a priority matrix ranking fixes by impact versus effort, a CMS/framework-specific implementation guide, ready-to-deploy schema markup templates, a 30-day re-audit to confirm fixes were indexed, and direct access to the engineer who ran the audit.
How is this different from an automated SEO scanning tool?
Automated scanners flag surface-level issues from a template checklist. Our audits are manually reviewed by technical specialists who read the raw source, server logs, and rendering pipeline, so we catch architecture-level and rendering issues that scanner tools consistently miss or misdiagnose.
Will your team help implement the fixes?
Yes. The audit includes direct engineer access — a dedicated channel or consultation hours — plus a 30-day re-audit once your team has shipped changes, so we confirm the fixes actually resolved the issue rather than handing over a report and disappearing.
