Question 1

What Is Included in an SEO Audit?

Accepted Answer

Our SEO audits cover technical SEO, on-page optimisation, keyword research, content evaluation, local search visibility, competitor analysis, backlinks, page speed, analytics tracking, and a prioritised action plan.

Question 2

Is This the Same as a Free SEO Audit Tool?

Accepted Answer

No. Automated tools list generic technical flags but cannot explain commercial context, competitor gaps, target keyword opportunities, or compile a prioritised list showing you what to fix first to drive actual enquiries.

Question 3

Do I Need a Technical SEO Audit or a Full SEO Audit?

Accepted Answer

If you suspect hidden code, redirect, or crawling issues, a technical SEO audit is best. For general performance issues (no ranking, low traffic, low enquiries), a full SEO audit is recommended to review overall structure, keyword targeting, content, and competitors.

Question 4

Can You Fix the Issues After the Audit?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Whitwell Media can help implement the recommendations, including technical fixes, content copywriting, Google Business Profile optimisation, or ongoing SEO. The audit can also be handed directly to your own developer.

Question 5

Is an SEO Audit Worth It for a Small Business?

Accepted Answer

Yes. It ensures you diagnose the actual blocker before wasting time or money on monthly retainers, paid ads, or complete website redesigns.

Question 6
