Full technical crawl
Screaming Frog crawl of every indexable URL, cross-checked against your sitemap and Search Console data.
Two weeks of work, 30 to 50 pages, a ranked fix list your developer can sequence without translation, and a 30-minute walkthrough call. If you sign a retainer within 30 days, the whole £500 comes off your first invoice. If you do not, you still keep the audit.
The list below is what we deliver on every engagement. Not tick-box compliance, actual analysis of what is holding your site back and what to fix first.
A useful SEO audit is not a list of 400 warnings pulled from a crawler. It is a prioritised set of recommendations, ranked by the lift each fix will produce and the effort it will take, with enough explanation that your developer or agency can sequence the work without a second call. That is what the £500 buys.
We start with a full technical crawl using Screaming Frog, then pull sixteen months of Search Console data, the full Ahrefs backlink profile, Core Web Vitals from the CrUX field dataset for your origin, and any log files you can share. Those feed six analytical passes: indexation, technical structure, content, backlinks, Core Web Vitals, and competitive positioning.
Indexation and crawl. Every URL in your sitemap, Search Console index report, and crawl are reconciled. We identify pages that should be indexed and are not, pages that should not be indexed and are, and pages that are consuming crawl budget without earning it. On e-commerce catalogues this alone often produces six to eight weeks of work for a development team.
Technical structure. Canonical tags, hreflang, robots directives, XML sitemap hygiene, pagination, redirect chains, status codes, and rendered HTML versus source HTML. Rendering issues on JavaScript-heavy sites are one of the most common reasons a site with good content fails to rank, and they are invisible to most audit tools that only read the initial HTML response.
Content. Keyword gap against the top three ranking competitors for each of your target queries. Where they have coverage you do not, where your coverage is thinner, and which pages on your site are cannibalising each other for the same query. We also flag AI-generated content patterns if we spot them, because those are being devalued faster with each core update.
Backlinks. Full Ahrefs and, where needed, Majestic profile review. Toxic link scoring based on host patterns that have been algorithmically devalued in the last four core updates. Link velocity analysis. Unlinked brand mention opportunities that are simple reclaim targets.
Core Web Vitals. Field data from CrUX for your origin, broken down by page template where possible. We do not rely on lab data alone, because lab tests run on a warm connection against an unloaded server give a best-case picture, not a real one. The ranking signal uses field data, and so do we.
Competitive positioning. The top three ranking sites for each target query are structurally deconstructed: template pattern, word count, schema coverage, internal link topology, backlink mix. This tells us what the realistically achievable rank is for your budget, not an aspirational promise.

30 to 60 minute call with Syed to explain the why behind each finding.
Built to take the financial risk out of hiring us. Not marketing language, the literal mechanics are below.
You pay £500 up front. We deliver the audit. You have 30 days from delivery to decide. If inside that window you sign a Local (£950/mo), National (from £1,500/mo), or Enterprise retainer, the whole £500 is applied as a credit against your first retainer invoice. Not a percentage, not a voucher towards something else, the whole fee.
If you decide the findings are something your existing team can deliver, or the scope is not a fit, you keep the audit at £500 and we part professionally. There is no card on file, no auto-enrolment, and no retention call. This is not a free trial that costs you later, it is a paid engagement with an honest refund path if we continue working together.
The refund offer exists because SEO consultancy is hard to price on a first call. We would rather prove our thinking in writing, let you evaluate it cold, and earn the retainer than sell a monthly on promise. It also removes the incentive for us to sell work that is not needed, because the audit stands or falls on its own merits whether or not you continue.
Retainers after the 90-day onboarding window run month-to-month. No fixed term, no cancellation penalty, no clawback on the refunded audit if you leave later. The £500 is genuinely refunded once, not a loan.
Reports get read, skimmed, or filed. A conversation is harder to ignore. The walkthrough is where most of the value lands.
Every audit ships with a 30 to 60 minute walkthrough call, scheduled after you have had 48 hours to read the report. We go through the top ten recommendations, explain why each one matters, and sequence the implementation. If your developer or agency is on the call, they can ask questions directly. If it is just you, we give you the notes to brief them.
The call is deliberately not a sales pitch. We have already been paid for the work. The point is to make sure the report actually gets actioned, because an audit sitting in a Google Drive folder is worth nothing. If the call surfaces scope we missed or questions that need more analysis, we will do that follow-up at no extra charge in the two weeks after delivery.
A £500 audit is not for everyone. If one of the descriptions below sounds like you, the audit pays for itself quickly. If not, we will say so on the first call.
Traffic was trending up, then flattened or fell. Usually a core update, a migration, or a plugin conflict. The audit finds the cause quickly.
A neutral written diagnostic lets you evaluate any agency proposal against facts, not slides. Cheaper than the mistake of hiring the wrong one.
You already know what the problem is, you need an external specialist to validate the roadmap so leadership will sign it.
Pre-migration audits catch the issues a redesign will otherwise lock in for 18 months. Costs £500, saves weeks of rework.
Catalogue sprawl, canonical conflicts, or faceted URL explosions are the usual suspects. Audit surfaces them in days, not quarters.
Often a Google Business Profile issue, a local-pack visibility problem, or a review velocity collapse. All findable, all fixable.
Usually a content coverage gap versus well-funded competitors, sometimes a rendering issue on programmatic pages.
Occasionally true. Usually a symptom the current supplier does not want to investigate. The audit tells you which one it is.

Organic revenue up 185% in 14 months. Product schema rebuild alone lifted rich-result capture by ~40%. No 12-month lock-in, month-to-month, which meant I could judge the work on results rather than on contract friction.
Moved from an NYC agency that billed $9k/month for junior-delivered work. Two years later, 23 practice-area terms on page one and qualified demos up 180%. Senior time, in USD, month-to-month, what US SaaS SEO should be.

The difference between a pitch deck and the people shipping your work is the difference between “scalable” and delivered.
A short introduction, your site URL, and what you’re trying to achieve. If it’s a fit, we’ll book a 30-minute call.
Every placement is negotiated and published by hand through a six-year network of editors and journalists. We never use AI bots or PBNs, they get detected, they get demoted, and your domain pays the price.
Ten contextual do-follow links from real UK and international sites with Domain Rating 50 and above. Topically relevant. Placed inside genuine editorial content, not link-farm footers. Index report delivered within 4 weeks.
Ten earned placements on national UK and US media with Domain Rating 70 and above, the kind of coverage that shifts rankings in competitive verticals and doesn't disappear in the next core update. Written, pitched, and placed by our PR team.
Google's last five core updates have all sharpened link-spam detection. Bulk-placed links from AI-generated host sites and public blog networks are being flagged faster than they can be bought. Our model is slower and costs more per link, but the placements survive every update and compound in value the longer they stay live.
Most agency SEO deliverables end at a recommendations document the client's developer never gets around to implementing. We write the schema, ship the SSR refactor, and merge the internal-link rebuild ourselves. The SEO work that needs code ships in the same sprint the audit flagged it.
Every client gets the same senior operator from first call to monthly review. Continuity is the product.
Two weeks. Crawl, keyword gap, backlink profile, on-page health. Written report, ranked fix list.
Schema, technical debt, site build or repair, internal linking. The work that makes everything compound.
Close topical gaps. Earn links honestly. Deploy AI agents where they save real hours, not just look clever.
Monthly call. Plain-English report. What moved, what didn't, what's next. Leave any time.
Syed leads the strategy and writes the monthly notes. Behind him is a tight network of expert developers and manual link-earning partners built over six years. Everything ships fast, nothing is outsourced to an AI bot that will earn your domain a penalty in the next core update.
Yes. The full £500 is credited against your first retainer invoice if you sign a Local or National SEO retainer within 30 days of audit delivery. There is no clawback, no small print, and no automatic enrolment. If you do not sign, you keep the audit. If you do sign, the first month is effectively £450 or £500 cheaper.
Two weeks is the standard window. Week one is crawl, data pulls, and competitor mapping. Week two is analysis, writing, and QA. If your site is under 200 indexable URLs we can often deliver in 10 to 12 days. Larger properties or e-commerce catalogues over 10,000 URLs can push into a 16 to 18 day window, and we flag that on the first call.
Read-only access to Google Search Console, Google Analytics 4, and where relevant Bing Webmaster Tools. A read-only admin account on your CMS. If you have access to Ahrefs, Semrush, or Screaming Frog exports we will happily use them, but we run our own crawls regardless. If you do not have any of the above set up, we configure Search Console and GA4 as part of the audit at no extra cost.
Free tools give you a list of findings. They cannot tell you which of the 400 warnings matters, which ones are noise, and in what order you should fix them. The audit prices the thinking, not the data pull. You are paying for ten years of pattern recognition on what actually moves rankings for a business of your size and sector, delivered in a 30 to 50 page document you can hand to any developer or agency.
Yes. On request we share a redacted sample audit for a business in a non-competing sector so you can see the depth, tone, and structure. We do not publish public samples, because client data stays private, but the redacted PDF goes out to serious buyers on request.
That is rare but possible on well-run sites. If we genuinely cannot find meaningful work to recommend, we say so in the report, refund your £500 in full, and decline the retainer. We would rather lose a month of revenue than sell you a retainer that has nothing to deliver on.
Either works. Many clients take the audit, hand the fix list to an existing in-house team or agency, and implement it themselves. Others sign a retainer with us to deliver the fixes, because we already hold context. Both are valid. There is no pressure to continue.
Yes. We run audits for clients in the United States, Canada, Australia, the Gulf, and across Europe, priced in the local currency equivalent of £500. The methodology is the same. Search Console data reads the same whether the site targets Manchester or Melbourne.
Book the £500 audit. Two weeks of work, a ranked fix list, and a walkthrough call. Refunded in full against your first invoice if you sign a retainer within 30 days.
