Technical SEO Audit Service That Ends in a Plan.

My technical SEO audit service runs on an open-source AI skill, and I read every finding myself. Most audits arrive as a tool export with hundreds of warnings and no order. Mine ends in a short, ranked plan that says what to fix first and why.

The Problem

A Long List of Warnings Isn't an Audit.

Crawl tools are good at finding things. They're bad at deciding which of the three hundred things they found matter. A missing alt attribute and a noindex tag on your best service page show up as two lines in the same spreadsheet.

So the report goes unread. The owner can't tell what's urgent, the developer can't tell what's real, and the fixes that would bring in enquiries wait behind the ones that were easy to list.

What an Audit Finds

Five Problems That Keep Turning Up.

Pages Google can't or won't index. A stray noindex tag, a robots.txt rule that blocks a folder, or a sitemap listing pages Google has never crawled. If a page isn't indexed, nothing else about it matters.
Redirect chains and duplicate URLs. Old addresses that hop through two or three redirects, or one page reachable at several URLs with no clear canonical.
Slow or unstable templates. Core Web Vitals problems that sit in one shared template, so a single fix improves dozens of pages.
Structured data that doesn't match the page. Markup that describes things visitors can't see, or two plugins writing conflicting schema for the same page.
Pages competing with each other. Two posts aimed at the same search, so neither ranks as well as one stronger page would.

What's Included

A Technical SEO Audit Service Built to Be Acted On.

01 · Crawl & Indexing

What Google Can Reach

Which pages Google has indexed, which it has only discovered, and where that disagrees with your sitemap. I use Search Console's own indexing data, not a guess.

02 · Site Health

Status, Redirects & Canonicals

Status codes, redirect chains, canonical tags, broken links and security headers, checked across every page type on the site.

03 · Speed

Core Web Vitals

Loading, responsiveness and layout stability measured with PageSpeed Insights, then traced back to the template that causes them.

04 · Structured Data

Schema You Can Trust

Markup checked against what's actually visible on each page, and against the rich results you're eligible for.

05 · Content

Overlap & Thin Pages

Duplicate topics, thin pages, internal-link gaps and trust signals, so your pages stop competing with each other.

06 · AI Search

Readiness Check

Whether AI crawlers can reach your content and your best pages are indexed with clear answers. It's a check, not a separate project.

How It Works

How the Technical SEO Audit Service Works.

It starts with the free site check. I look at how Google sees your site, send back the biggest issues I can find, and tell you whether a full audit is worth doing.

If you go ahead, I ask for read-only access to Google Search Console and, if you have it, Google Analytics. I run the audit with the Agentic AI-SEO Skill, which does the repetitive checking across the whole site, then I go through every finding. Anything I can't back up with evidence, I cut.

You get a written report and a ranked action plan: what to fix first, what each fix should change, and what to watch afterward to confirm it worked. We walk through it together.

Why AI

Where the AI Helps, and Where It Stops.

The skill is the one I published for free. It has 24 sub-skills covering technical SEO, schema, content quality, AI search and local SEO, and every recommendation comes with the evidence behind it. I use it on this site. You can read how it works, or run it yourself.

What it does well is the repetitive part: checking hundreds of URLs the same way every time. What it can't do is know your business. Deciding that a warning is harmless, or that a fix would break something else, is my job, and so is telling you plainly when a problem is bigger than it looks.

On AI search, Google's own guidance on AI features says no special optimization is needed beyond the SEO fundamentals. I treat it that way, which is why it's a check inside the audit and not an add-on. If you want it as its own project, see answer engine optimization services.

Pricing

Technical SEO Audit Service Pricing, Quoted in Writing.

What a technical SEO audit costs depends mostly on how many pages and page types the site has, the platform it runs on and how much history it carries, such as past migrations and old redirects. That's why I don't publish a single number. You get a quote in writing after the free site check, before any work starts.

Fixing what the audit finds is priced separately. If you want it done for you, see website optimization or SEO strategy. If you'd rather hand the plan to your own developer, that works too.

Is This Right for You?

Who This Is For.

  • Your site gets impressions or traffic but too few enquiries, and you can't tell whether the cause is technical
  • You've paid for an audit before and got a spreadsheet nobody could act on
  • You're planning a redesign or migration and want the problems found before you move
  • Pages you published or rewrote aren't showing up in Google
  • You want a second opinion before signing an SEO retainer

AI SEO Audit Questions.

A review of whether Google can crawl and index your pages, plus status codes, redirects, canonicals, site speed, structured data, internal links and duplicate or thin content. Mine ends with a ranked plan, with the issues ordered by what to fix first. The what's-included section above has the full breakdown.
Ask for a sample report before you pay. Ask who actually reads the findings and who decides what matters. Ask what you'll have in your hands at the end: a ranked plan, or an export. And ask whether fixing the problems is included or sold separately, so the audit price doesn't surprise you later. Be wary of anyone who delivers the same PDF to every client.
It is when you have a site with real history, such as dozens of pages, a past redesign or migration, or traffic that stopped growing, and you can't tell why. It usually isn't when the site is brand new with a handful of pages that Google hasn't found yet. In that case the free site check will tell you so, and your money is better spent on getting pages indexed and earning links.
It depends mostly on how many pages and page types the site has, the platform it runs on and how much history it carries, such as old migrations and redirects. I quote in writing after a free site check, before any work starts, so you pay for your site and not for an average.
It runs the repetitive checks: crawling pages, reading robots.txt and sitemaps, validating schema, measuring speed and comparing what it finds against known good practice. I go through every finding before it reaches you. It doesn't fix anything, and it doesn't replace judgment about your business.
Yes, as a check. Google's own guidance says there are no additional requirements or special optimizations for AI Overviews and AI Mode, and that existing SEO fundamentals still apply. A page also has to be indexed and eligible to appear in Search with a snippet to be shown as a supporting link. So the audit confirms those basics, plus whether AI crawlers can reach your content. I won't sell you a separate GEO package.
Yes. The skill is free and open source under the MIT license. It runs inside Claude Code or a similar agent and needs some comfort with the command line. The service is for owners who want the findings checked and ranked by a person, and the plan explained.
I ask for read-only access to Google Search Console and, if you have it, Google Analytics. For the audit itself I don't need to log in to your website or hosting.
It depends on the size and age of the site. The free site check gives you a timeline along with the quote.
I can, as separate work, or your developer can use the plan. Either way the plan is yours to keep.
