An SEO audit is the diagnostic that tells you why a site is not ranking — and, more importantly, what to fix first. Our SEO audit services for B2B and SaaS companies are not a 200-point automated PDF nobody reads. They are a human-reviewed, prioritised action plan: technical, on-page, content and backlink findings ranked by impact, with a clear 90-day order of work and the reasoning behind every recommendation.
What an SEO audit is — and what it is not
An SEO audit is a structured review of everything that decides whether a website earns organic visibility: how search engines crawl and index it, how well its pages match search intent, how deep and trustworthy its content is, and how its backlink profile compares with the competitors above it. The point of an audit is not to generate a long list of errors. It is to find the small number of issues that actually hold rankings back, and to put them in the order that returns traffic fastest.
That distinction matters because most «seo audit tool» outputs — a checker score, a colour-coded severity list — bury the two or three changes that move revenue under ninety that do not. A real audit interprets the data instead of dumping it.
What our SEO audit covers
Every audit looks at the four areas below and, just as important, how they interact — a technically perfect site with no content depth still loses, and great content on an un-crawlable site never gets seen.
Technical SEO audit
The technical layer is the foundation a site cannot rank without. We check crawlability and indexation (what Google can reach and what it actually keeps in the index), site speed and Core Web Vitals, canonicalisation, redirect chains, XML sitemaps and robots rules, hreflang on multi-language sites, and structured data / schema markup. We pull your Google Search Console coverage and crawl the site to find the orphan pages, soft 404s, duplicate URLs and indexation errors that quietly waste crawl budget and dilute authority.
Technical problems are usually the cheapest wins in an audit: a fixed canonical or an unblocked CSS file can recover rankings within weeks, because the content was already good enough — Google simply could not see or trust it properly.
On-page and content quality
Next we review how well individual pages answer the query they target: search intent match, title and meta description, heading structure, internal linking, and thin or cannibalising pages competing with each other. Keyword cannibalisation — two pages chasing the same query — is one of the most common findings on B2B sites that have published for years without a content map. We show exactly which pages collide and which one should own each query.
Content and keyword gaps
An audit is also a roadmap for what to build next. We map the commercial and informational keywords your competitors rank for and you do not, cluster them by intent, and flag the pages that would capture the most qualified organic traffic. This content-gap analysis turns the audit from a list of fixes into a growth plan — the difference between «patch the site» and «out-rank the market».
Backlink audit
Finally we assess off-site authority: the health of your backlink profile, referring domains, any toxic or spammy links worth disavowing, and the realistic link gap between you and the sites at the top of your market. For most B2B and SaaS companies the link gap is the single biggest reason strong on-page work still has not reached page one — and the audit quantifies it instead of guessing.
What you get
The deliverable is the plan, not the raw export. After the audit you receive:
- A prioritised findings list — ranked by impact and effort, with a clear «fix this first» order.
- The reasoning behind each item, so your team understands the why, not just the what.
- A 90-day action plan split by owner — founder, marketer and developer can each act on their part.
- A visibility and traffic baseline, so progress after the fixes is measurable, not anecdotal.
- A live walkthrough session — we talk through the findings, you ask questions, nothing gets lost in a document.
What a typical audit surfaces
No two sites are identical, but B2B and SaaS audits tend to surface the same recurring problems — and recognising them is half the value. The most common findings we report:
- Pages indexed that should not be, and pages missing that should rank. Tag archives, filtered URLs and staging leftovers eating crawl budget while key service pages sit un-indexed.
- Keyword cannibalisation. Three or four pairs of pages quietly competing for the same query, splitting authority so neither ranks.
- Intent mismatch. A commercial page built like a blog post, or a head term aimed at a page Google reads as informational.
- Core Web Vitals failing on mobile — usually a slow LCP from an unoptimised hero image or render-blocking scripts.
- A thin, undifferentiated services page trying to rank against competitors with three times the depth.
- A backlink gap — the top results have dozens of referring domains the site has never gone after, which no amount of on-page work alone will close.
Naming these precisely, in priority order, is what turns an audit into momentum: the team stops guessing and starts fixing the things that actually move the needle.
SEO audit services vs free SEO audit tools
A free SEO audit tool (a checker like SEOptimer or a site-checkup score) is useful for a quick first signal. It is not a substitute for an audit that interprets the data against your market. Here is the honest difference:
| Free audit tool | Our SEO audit service | |
|---|---|---|
| Output | Automated score & error list | Prioritised plan with reasoning |
| Prioritisation | Severity colour-coding | Impact × effort, revenue-first |
| Competitor & link gap | Rarely included | Core part of the audit |
| Intent & cannibalisation | Not detected | Mapped page by page |
| Who reads it | You, then nobody | A specialist walks you through it |
Start with a free check to get oriented; commission a full audit when you are about to spend real money on SEO and want to spend it in the right order.
How the audit works
We connect your Search Console and analytics, crawl the site, sample the search results you care about, and review the competitors ranking above you. Then a senior specialist — not a script — interprets everything and writes the plan. A standard audit takes about a week; an express audit on a smaller site is faster. You finish with a working session, not just a file in your inbox.
SEO audit pricing
| Audit | Price |
|---|---|
| Express audit (small site, key issues) | €600–1 200 |
| Full SEO audit + 90-day plan | €1 500–3 000 |
| Audit + implementation (retainer) | from €2 500 / mo |
The audit fee is credited toward a retainer if you continue with us. Not sure it is worth it? Start with a free mini-audit and decide from there.
Who needs an SEO audit
An audit pays for itself when organic traffic has stalled or dropped and you do not know why; when you are about to hire an agency and want an independent baseline first; when you have migrated, redesigned or replatformed and need to confirm nothing broke; or when you suspect your current SEO spend is not working and want proof either way. If you are spending on SEO without a current audit, you are almost certainly spending in the wrong order.
Frequently asked questions
Is this just an automated tool report?
No. We use tools to gather data, but a senior specialist interprets it and writes the plan. The value is the prioritisation and the reasoning — which no automated SEO audit tool gives you.
How is the free audit different from the paid one?
The free mini-audit flags the biggest visible issues so you know whether a deeper review is worthwhile. The paid SEO audit is the full technical, on-page, content and backlink review with a 90-day plan and a walkthrough.
How long does an SEO audit take?
About a week for a full audit, faster for an express one. You get a working session to walk through the findings, not just a document.
Do you fix the issues or only report them?
Both options exist. Many clients take the plan and implement it in-house; others move onto a retainer where we do the work. The audit fee is credited toward that retainer.
What do I need to provide?
Read access to Google Search Console and analytics, and ideally a quick call about your goals and target market. That is enough to start.
How often should a site be audited?
A full audit once a year, plus a lighter technical check after any major site change — a migration, redesign or platform switch is exactly when silent SEO problems appear.
