What is a Technical SEO Audit?
A technical SEO audit is a comprehensive analysis of your website’s technical elements to assess its readiness for search engine optimisation.
It’s a thorough health checkup that digs into the technical factors influencing your site’s performance in search engine rankings.
A technical SEO audit provides a detailed report on elements such as Site Speed, Mobile Friendliness, Indexing & Crawling, and On-page factors such as meta titles and descriptions; highlighting issues that could be holding back your website’s performance.
You are then provided with actionable recommendations for improvement – even with the best content on your site, if your technical SEO is lacking in any area, it could be holding you back from getting the rankings you deserve.

Wait, What is Technical SEO?
Technical SEO is the art and science of enhancing a website’s technical elements to boost its performance in search engine results. This branch of SEO zeroes in on the backend of a website, ensuring its architecture, speed, and functionality align with the criteria search engines like our Google overlords use to rank websites.
Essentially, it’s about building a solid technical foundation that supports other SEO strategies.
Key components of technical SEO include:
- Site Speed: The faster a website loads, the better the user experience (UX) it offers. Search engines recognise this and favour sites that provide speedy load times. Think about it: how often do you stick around on a site that takes forever to load?
- Mobile-Friendliness: With mobile devices now accounting for a massive chunk of web traffic, it’s crucial for websites to be designed with smaller screens in mind. Mobile-friendly sites are not just a convenience for users but a ranking factor for search engines too.
- Indexing and Crawling: Search engines send out bots that ‘crawl’ websites to understand what they are about. Technical SEO ensures your site is easy for these bots to navigate and index, so your pages show up accurately in search results.
- Site Architecture: A well-organised website helps users and search engines navigate your content. It’s like the difference between a messy filing cabinet and a neat one; the better the organisation, the easier it is to find what you’re looking for.
- Security: HTTPS encryption is essential for protecting user data. It also signals to search engines that your site is trustworthy, which can have a positive impact on your rankings.
- On-Page Technical Factors: This includes evaluating metadata (titles, descriptions, etc.), structured data, and other on-page elements that affect how search engines understand and rank your site.

Other Aspects of Technical SEO I Focus On
- XML Sitemaps: Providing search engines with XML sitemaps makes it easier for them to discover all of the pages on your website. This is crucial for ensuring that every valuable piece of content has the chance to rank.
- Robots.txt File Management: Using the robots.txt file effectively can guide search engine bots about which parts of your site should not be crawled. This helps prevent the indexing of duplicate or irrelevant pages and conserves crawl budget.
- Page Resources: Ensuring that all scripts, images, and CSS files are accessible to search engine bots is essential. If these resources are blocked, it might affect how your website is rendered and indexed.
- URL Structure: A clean, descriptive URL structure not only improves user experience but also helps search engines understand the relevance and hierarchy of your website’s content. Optimal URLs are concise and keyword-rich.
- Canonical Tags: Proper use of canonical tags helps prevent problems caused by duplicate content appearing on multiple URLs. It’s a way of telling search engines which version of a page is the master or preferred one.
- Hreflang Tags: For websites available in multiple languages or regions, hreflang tags are critical. They inform search engines which version of a page is appropriate for users in a specific language or region, helping to serve the most relevant content.
- Core Web Vitals: As part of Google’s user experience metrics, Core Web Vitals measure the speed, responsiveness, and visual stability of a page. Improving these can contribute significantly to better rankings and user experience.

But then, what is an ADVANCED technical SEO audit?
Well, an advanced technical SEO audit encompasses all aspects of a simple audit but dives much deeper into each component and covers additional areas critical for high-performing websites; most notably, it focuses on overcoming competitive barriers in saturated markets or complex SEO issues affecting their performance.
Here is a list that shows you what I’m talking about:
Code and Structure Review: Inspecting the website’s underlying code for optimisation opportunities, including HTML/CSS validation, script handling, and responsiveness across devices. This also covers structural elements like schema markup and the use of canonical tags.
Indexation Management: Reviewing how pages are indexed by search engines and identifying issues such as duplicate content, poor URL structure, or improper use of robots.txt and XML sitemaps that could confuse crawlers.
Content Evaluation: Analysing the content not just for quality and relevance, but also for SEO optimisation—checking keyword usage, internal linking strategies, and the alignment of content with user intent.
Link Profile Analysis: Evaluating the quality and quantity of external links pointing to the site. This includes identifying potentially harmful links that could lead to penalties from search engines.
- Competitor Benchmarking: Comparing the website’s technical setup and performance with that of competitors to identify gaps and opportunities for improvement.

I offer a basic technical SEO audit service that suits the needs of most websites I handle—this level of audit is adequate for 99% of my clients.

However, if I believe your website could significantly benefit from an advanced audit, I include it as part of my overall SEO services package. Otherwise, I usually recommend sticking with the standard technical SEO audit.

Difference Between a Technical SEO Audit and a General SEO Audit
When looking to improve your website’s search engine performance, you might consider either a technical SEO audit or a general SEO audit. While both are essential for optimising your website, they focus on different aspects of SEO and serve unique purposes.
While Technical SEO Audit and SEO Audit focuses on other areas, they can overlap, depending on the needs of the website.
Below I’m going to go into each in a little detail:
Technical SEO Audit
A technical SEO audit is highly specialised, focusing on the backend elements of your website that impact how search engines crawl and index your site. This audit targets the infrastructure of your website, including:
- Site Architecture: Ensures that the structure of your site enhances search engine visibility.
- Page Speed: Analyses load times and identifies elements that slow down your site.
- Mobile Responsiveness: Evaluates how well your site performs on mobile devices.
- Indexing and Crawlability: Checks for issues that could prevent search engines from reading your site correctly, such as improper use of robots.txt or faulty sitemap configurations.
- Security: Looks at HTTPS settings and other security protocols to ensure the site’s security doesn’t impact its search rankings.
- URL Structure: Reviews URL syntax and hierarchy for optimisation.
These elements are crucial for search engines to read and interpret your site effectively, which can significantly affect your overall search engine rankings.
General SEO Audit
A general SEO audit, on the other hand, is broader and covers a wide range of factors both on and off your website. It includes technical SEO aspects but also extends to:
- Content Analysis: Reviews the quality, relevance, and optimisation of the content on your site, including keyword usage and content strategy.
- On-Page SEO: Evaluates elements like metadata, headers, and images to ensure they are optimised for target keywords.
- Off-Page SEO: Looks at factors outside your website that influence rankings, such as backlinks and social media presence.
- User Experience (UX): Considers how users interact with your site and how these interactions affect SEO performance.
- Competitor Analysis: Compares your SEO efforts with those of your competitors to identify strengths and weaknesses in your strategy.
Key Differences
The main difference between the two audits lies in their scope and focus. A technical SEO audit is more focused on the technical health of your website and its foundation for SEO success.
It’s essential for ensuring that search engines can access and understand your site without any technical hindrances.
A general SEO audit, while including technical aspects, provides a comprehensive view of your overall SEO strategy, including content and external SEO factors. It’s geared towards a holistic improvement of your site’s search performance.
In summary, choosing between a technical SEO audit and a general SEO audit depends on your specific needs. If you’re experiencing issues with website visibility or search engine penalties, a technical audit is crucial.
For broader SEO strategy enhancement, a general audit will provide the insights needed to boost both rankings and user engagement.
What is a Mobile Technical SEO Audit?
A mobile technical SEO audit focuses specifically on evaluating how well your site performs on mobile devices and ensuring it adheres to mobile SEO best practices. This type of audit is essential because mobile-friendliness is a significant ranking factor for search engines like Google.
Here’s what a mobile technical SEO audit typically involves:
- Mobile Responsiveness: Ensure the site adjusts to fit various device screens, improving readability and navigation.
- Page Speed Optimisation: Analyse and enhance loading times on mobile devices to reduce bounce rates.
- Mobile Usability: Assess user-friendly navigation, touch element spacing, and easy access to key information.
- Mobile Indexing: Confirm that the mobile site is correctly indexed by search engines, especially under Google’s mobile-first indexing.
- Structured Data Verification: Check that structured data is correctly implemented and consistent across mobile and desktop versions.
- Local SEO: Evaluate the performance of localised content and keywords on mobile devices.
- Content Consistency: Ensure content is the same on both mobile and desktop versions to avoid SEO penalties.
What is an Eccomerce Technical SEO Audit?
An e-commerce technical SEO audit is essential for any online store looking to improve its visibility and attract more traffic.
This specialised audit focuses on identifying and resolving SEO issues that are unique to e-commerce websites, ensuring they are optimised to rank well in search engine results.
Here’s what typically goes into an e-commerce technical SEO audit:
- Site Structure Analysis: Evaluate navigation, category hierarchy, and breadcrumb trails for user and SEO friendliness.
- URL Structure and Parameters: Assess readability, keyword usage, and handling of URL parameters to enhance indexing.
- Page Speed Optimisation: Identify factors slowing down the site and recommend improvements for faster loading times.

Free Technical SEO Audit Service FAQs
Got a particular question you want to ask me?
What exactly is a Technical SEO Audit?
A technical SEO audit is an in-depth review of your website’s technical aspects that influence its performance in search engine rankings. This audit covers key areas such as site speed, mobile-friendliness, indexing, crawling, and on-page factors like meta titles and descriptions. It identifies issues that could be hindering your website’s performance and provides actionable recommendations for improvement.
Why is Technical SEO important?
Technical SEO focuses on improving the technical elements of your website to enhance its visibility in search engine results. It involves optimising the site’s architecture, ensuring fast load times, and making your site easy for search engine bots to crawl and index. This foundation supports all other SEO strategies, such as content development and link building.
How does a Technical SEO Audit differ from a General SEO Audit?
While both audits aim to improve SEO performance, a technical SEO audit specifically targets the infrastructure and backend functionalities of your site that affect search engine visibility and user experience. In contrast, a general SEO audit also reviews content quality, on-page optimisation, off-page factors, and user engagement across the website.
What will I receive with your Technical SEO Audit?
You’ll receive a comprehensive report delivered as Google Slides and Google Sheets, which include:
- Detailed visuals and structured data about your site’s performance.
- Actionable insights with priorities for issues that need addressing.
- Spreadsheets of crawl data and downloadable guidelines for developers.
- Optional videos highlighting specific issues and their resolutions.
Can you audit any CMS?
Yes, my technical SEO audit services are versatile and can be applied to any CMS, including popular platforms like WordPress and Shopify. No matter the underlying technology of your site, I can provide a thorough audit that identifies any potential issues affecting your SEO.
What happens if I want you to implement the changes suggested in the audit?
Implementing changes from the audit is an additional service that incurs a fee. I can provide a detailed proposal for this implementation, allowing you to decide how to proceed—whether you handle the changes yourself or have me manage them for you.

Yes, the audit is completely free. I offer this service at no cost to demonstrate the quality of our work and provide potential clients with risk-free value. This also helps build trust and showcases the tangible benefits our services can provide to your business.
Can I make the changes myself after the audit?
Absolutely. The audit report includes detailed, actionable steps that you can follow to make improvements on your own. However, if you prefer, we can handle the implementations for you, ensuring that all technical aspects are optimised professionally.
Will the Technical SEO Audit affect my website's current performance?
No, the audit process is entirely analytical and does not involve making any changes to your website. It’s a non-invasive review of your site’s current technical setup, so your website’s performance will not be affected during the audit. Any potential changes suggested by the audit would only be implemented after your approval.
How often should I get a Technical SEO Audit?
I recommend conducting a technical SEO audit at least once every quater, as this helps catch any newly developed issues that could impact your site’s SEO performance. Additionally, it’s wise to perform an audit after major updates to your website or changes in SEO best practices and search engine algorithms.
What kind of improvements can I expect after implementing your recommendations?
Post-implementation, you can expect improvements in several key areas such as enhanced site speed, better mobile usability, and improved indexation by search engines. These improvements often lead to better user engagement, reduced bounce rates, and potentially higher rankings in search engine results pages.
Do you provide support after the audit is completed?
Yes, I offer support after the audit is delivered. For clients who opt for our implementation services, I offer comprehensive support throughout the implementation process and ensure that all optimisations are performed correctly.
What is the difference between on-page SEO and technical SEO, which are both mentioned in the audit?
On-page SEO refers to optimisations made on individual web pages to improve rankings and attract relevant traffic, such as keyword optimisation and content quality. Technical SEO, on the other hand, focuses on improving the infrastructure and backend elements of the website, like site speed, mobile-friendliness, and crawlability, which support on-page efforts.
