What is an SEO Audit?

In simple terms, an SEO audit is when an online marketing company, marketing expert or SEO consultant, takes look at your website and analyzes how well it is performing in terms of its visibility across the major search engines.

As you may know, Google is the most popular search engine out there but other search engines like Yahoo and Bing are also used by people when searching for information, products, or services.

Having an SEO audit conducted on your website will give you a deeper insight into how your website is performing and for what search terms [known as keywords] your website is being found for [and not being found for].

So if you have a construction business and you are looking to rank for ‘construction company near me, ‘best construction company London’, or any other keywords associated with the construction services you offer, then you need to have an SEO audit conducted on your website to better understand what you can then do to optimize your website to be found for these terms by your target audience. Being found for these construction-based keywords will mean that your site will then generate high quality leads for your business, and traffic that lands on your site through Google searches [otherwise known as organic traffic] converts better than any other type of traffic, including paid search traffic and social media traffic.

We will continue to discuss the benefits of an SEO audit for your construction business [or any other type of business you may have] in further detail, but if you are looking for some help with an SEO audit for your construction business then click HERE, and chat to one of our SEO experts and we will have an SEO audit completed for you, for FREE!

So what are the benefits of having an SEO audit conducted for your construction business or other online businesses you may own?

Benefits of an SEO Audit?

In order to optimize your website so that it is being found through Google and other major search engines like Bing and Yahoo, you first need to understand how it is currently performing.

Doing so allows SEO experts like us to understand what we then need to do to optimize your existing website to get it ranking in those top search engine result positions.

Remember: the closer you are to the top of the Google, Bing or Yahoo search results page, the more traffic you will get and the more leads you will generate for your construction business, sales for your eCommerce enterprise, and generally more eyes on your brand!

In addition to an analysis of your website, a good SEO audit will also take a look at your major competitors in your industry or market to see how their websites are performing and what SEO strategies and techniques they are employing.

So for example, let’s say you own a construction business in London and when someone searches for ‘best construction company’, your top competitor is being found. Yes, the horror!

Well, what we want to do, is take a look at their website and understand what they are doing well from an SEO perspective, and reverse engineer their strategy and employ certain elements ourselves!

So when we conduct an SEO audit on your website we also conduct SEO audits on your top competitor sites so that we build a deeper understanding of exactly what we need to do to get your construction business [or other business] ranking at the top of Google, Bing or Yahoo search!

Here is a summary of the key benefits of having an SEO audit conducted:

Better understand how well optimized your current website is
Better understand how well your competitor’s websites are performing
Define key actionables to better optimize your website
Have a blueprint for building an SEO strategy and implementing it
Better optimize your website for sales and leads

So, Who Needs an SEO Audit?

This article is slightly orientated around the construction industry and the importance of an SEO audit for construction businesses, but pretty much any business with a website can benefit from an SEO audit. Why? Well, the whole point of having a website is for it to be found so that you can generate leads, sales or promote your brand online, right? So what is the point of having a website if it isn’t being found, or even worse, your competitors are outranking you and taking all the business!

So, in short, any business that wants to grow online and dominate their market should first start with an SEO audit, to understand how the site is performing and then what actions to take to get your site fully optimized and turned into a money-making machine!
