A full SEO audit, written by a person
Not an automated scan with coloured charts and generic warnings. We review your site manually, benchmark it against a competitor already ranking above you, and tell you what to fix first — in plain English.
No sales pitch — if we cannot help, we will say so
Most free SEO audits are automated
They produce colourful charts, generic warnings and vague advice. They will tell you there is a problem but not what it actually means for your business.
Ours is carried out by an experienced SEO who reviews the site the way Google reads it — technically, structurally, and through what people actually search for. Then we translate it into plain English with a prioritised action list.
You get a clear explanation of what is working, what is not, and the exact steps needed to improve visibility. No scare tactics, no pressure to buy anything.
We run two separate analyses
Technical and visibility
A full review of technical health, on-page SEO, local signals and competitor positioning — benchmarked against a site already ranking above you for your key terms.
Delivered as
Full HTML report with prioritised issues, screenshots and revenue impact calculation
Content cannibalisation
Every page compared against every other page to find where multiple pages compete for the same keywords and dilute each other’s rankings. Most sites have this and almost nobody knows.
Delivered as
Visual HTML report showing page similarity percentages, RAG status and what to merge or differentiate

What fixing it could actually be worth
We do not just tell you what is wrong. Every audit includes a calculation of what the fixes could be worth in pounds.
- Your target keywordThe search term most valuable to your business, not the one with the biggest volume.
- Monthly search volumeAdjusted for your specific town or service area.
- Current and potential trafficComparing where you rank now against positions two or three.
- Additional enquiriesUsing conservative industry conversion rates rather than flattering ones.
- Potential revenueBased on typical job values in your sector.
The full methodology is in the report, so you can substitute your own figures and check ours. If our assumptions look optimistic to you, change them — the calculation is yours to interrogate.

Why we give these away
Fair question, so here it is.
- It demonstrates the workAnyone can claim expertise. An audit proves it. When you see the depth of analysis, that is the technical choices, competitor comparison and revenue calculations — you understand what we actually do. It is our best sales tool because it shows rather than tells.
- Some people become clientsAround 30% of people who receive one ask us to help implement the fixes. That is enough to make the free audit worthwhile for us. The other 70% get genuine value and sometimes refer others.
- We enjoy the workSounds cheesy, and it is true. Every audit teaches us something about a new industry, a new local market, or a new type of website.
- It keeps us honestWhen you see exactly what is wrong, with screenshots and evidence, you can make informed decisions. No vague promises, no trust-us sales pitches. If the audit shows your site is in good shape, we will tell you that too.
What makes an audit worth having
Not all SEO audits are equal. This applies to ours as much as anyone else’s.
- Useless auditsA tool’s output with a covering paragraph on top. Generic advice that applies to any website. Traffic-light scores with no explanation. No prioritisation — everything marked urgent. Technical jargon with no translation. No competitor context. No business impact assessment.
- Useful auditsWritten by a specialist, using automated checks as inputs. Specific recommendations for your site and market. Clear explanation of what each issue means. Prioritised by actual impact on rankings and revenue. Written so you can understand and act on it. Benchmarked against a real competitor.
A real example
In October 2025, a Coventry cleaning company came to us after their audit revealed no Google visibility at all, no Analytics or Search Console installed, service pages too thin to rank, missing local signals and no GDPR compliance.
After implementing the recommendations, they reached page one within six weeks. Seven months on they hold 55 keywords on page one, position one for “deep cleaning coventry”, and have won a single £7,000 commercial clean through organic search.
Frequently asked
- Is this really free?Yes. No payment details, no hidden charges. We offer it because it demonstrates our expertise, and some people choose to work with us afterwards. There is genuinely no obligation.
- How is this different from online SEO checkers?Those run automated scans and spit out generic advice. Ours includes manual review by an actual SEO specialist, competitor benchmarking against your specific market, revenue impact calculations and content cannibalisation analysis. It is a proper audit, not a traffic-light dashboard.
- How long does it take?Usually 48 to 72 hours. Larger sites with 50+ pages may take a little longer.
- Will you try to sell me something?The report includes information about our services, but we will not hassle you. If you want help implementing the fixes, we are here. If you want to do it yourself or use another provider, that is fine. The report is genuinely useful either way.
- What if I do not understand the report?We write everything in plain English, but if you want clarification you can book a free walkthrough call. We will go through the findings together and answer questions.
- What happens after the audit?Entirely up to you. Many clients implement the quick wins themselves. Some ask for a quote to handle the technical work. Others use the report to brief their existing web developer. You own the audit — use it however you like.
- Can you audit my competitor’s site?We include competitor analysis in your audit showing how your site stacks up. We will not audit a competitor’s site directly without their permission.
- What does it cost if I want you to fix the issues?Ongoing SEO packages start from £199 a month. One-off technical fixes are available from £35 an hour. We will give you a quote based on what the audit finds — no generic packages. Full pricing here.
