Technical SEO Audits

Technical SEO Audits & Site Optimization

Time for a technical SEO audit on your site? If you’re like thousands of business owners today, you know you NEED a website that’s optimized for conversion (whatever your particular flavor of conversion happens to be). But just like countless business owners, your probably glaze over a little bit when someone starts talking about search engine bots, broken links, duplicate content issues, bounce rate, or Google Search Console.

That’s okay. When we first started out, we did too.

The truth is, taking on a technical site audit for your website isn’t always fun, because sometimes it’s hard to know WHAT you’re looking at when it’s done,… let alone interpret the output into something meaningful that translates to new revenue for the business.

Stop staring at SEO needles in the haystack, and let’s make some real HAY ($$$).

At PixelChefs, we started out as a Search Engine Optimization company, helping clients increase their rankings by eliminating errors, optimizing internal links, enhancing the speed of site load times by reducing the size of images, and making sure that search engines could crawl every single page that was important – because honestly, if a search engine isn’t TOLD it’s important, why would they rank it? To this day, our search marketing team not only creates top-notch websites for small businesses,… they also perform the SEO site audits, cure the crawl errors, and produce the content that search engines WANT to see, based on the keywords YOUR users are searching for, as well as attracting the types of links you need for Google to trust your site and rank you better.

Because a poor user experience, is a site with slow page load speeds and poorly designed elements,… but a BAD user experience, is the one where searchers never even find your site. Let’s make your search engine discovery a priority. Reach out at 407-283-7293.

How We Do SEO Audit Reports

We make it our mission to ensure that search engine crawlers find every piece of content people look for when making search queries in Google. That’s why we offer outstanding website technical audits that go well beyond any SEO audit tool, including:

• Core Technical Issues – Step by step, we make sure that missing title tags, broken links, broken code, and technical SEO elements are all recorded to be addressed. And while sometimes a perfect technical score is only part of the battle, we know that conversion rates depend on great search rankings for target keywords, and search algorithms want to see structured code on websites without missing information.
• Crawl Checks & Your Relationship With Search – Your SEO success has LOT to do with making sure your root domain is receiving Google crawls BEFORE it even receives searches. We make sure search engine bots know what’s a priority for you, and make sure bad redirects, speed issues, and bad response codes are fixed to minimize the risk of search engine rankings NOT reflecting key content for both your mobile version and desktop version.
• An Audit Checklist For Content Marketing – Here’s where we set ourselves APART from standard SEO desktop tools and Google Search Console reports. We pour over your content (and potential NEW content) examining which search you WANT to lead to that content, and what steps we need to execute to align title tags are perfect, mixed content issues are cured, duplicate content errors are fixed, and keyword stuffing is avoided in order to provide the right resources for your target audience OVER your competitors.
• Sections On Security, Speed & Images – If you’ve ever heard that image optimization and having an HTTPS site versus and HTTP site are key signals for SEO rannkings, you’re right. And unfortunately, Google Search Console, free link audit tools, and even basic crawling tools can’t isolate the areas that need attention when it comes to images and how Google views sites with poorly optimize visual impact or insecure source code.
• Understanding Products & Opportunity – Again, most technical SEO checks are just a quick check that an agency makes to make sure your crawl rate is good, and internal resources on your site are loading without excess redirects and key elements not working. We go further, with an analysis of your striking distance keywords that you’re ALMOST in the top 5 for, and then layout an onpage SEO plan to rank them
• Visual SEO For High-Quality Websites – Collectively, our team of web designers has several decades of experience and expertise in both design AND SEO to build a captivating web design for your small business that both attract and REACT to search engines the right way. Having a pretty website without structured data such as Schema/JSON and the proper inlinks pushing rank to the RIGHT, most profitable pages, might as well just be a pretty poster on the internet, gathering digital dust.

Our Process To Source More Searches:

While every website audit is different, our proven process to get your content ranking MORE in relevant Google searches is a proven method that also adapts over time to the latest version of Google’s algorithm, and takes into account your new (and growing) organic search terms, backlinks, and ongoing recommendations from our team on SPECIFICALLY how to action items for better SEO rankings. Here are the in depth steps we take when working with our clients on these technical checks:

• Technical Crawls & Research – The process ALWAYS kicks off with us crawling your site for errors, to make sure that the ‘patient is cured of illnes’ before trying to train for the ‘marathon’ (if that makes sense). We uncover a LOT of key items to fix in this phase, such as unnecessary redirects, poor loading times on some pages, non-HTTPS resources, status codes on pages in 4xx (pages not found) and 5xx (server problems), and even problems with JavaScript in some browsers for visitors and Google’s link crawlers.
• Organizing – Next, we collect all crawl information into a list that’s borken down by section, WITH screenshots of examples on these issues, so it’s EASY to understand what we’re talking about. Each bullet point in the list has an explanation of the issue, and a file attached (sometimes another, more in depth list), and well as detailed steps needed to fix the issue. This functions as your overall site audit, and it’s head-and-shoulders above ANYTHING you can get out of Google Search Console, or the other ‘free tools’ other firms attempt to use for audits.
• Backlink Audits – We next turn our attention to a full blown backlink audit of your entire domain where we check all external links and incomign links from other sites to make sure your website isn’t under some kind of Google penalty. We also check for instances of broken links from your content to other people’s content, and vice versa, to make sure you’re not unknowingly ‘giving away’ your site’s domain authority and rank to other sites, via incorrect backlinks or redirects. At the end of this, you’ll know ALL your internal & external links.
• Content & Ranking Strategy – Once these areas are complete, we build out a suggested ACTION PLAN, that focuses on keywords you WANT to rank for, especially those within striking distance of your top 5 search engine results, and what type of content should be ideated, optimized, pruned, (sometimes), and published to get you there! Other SEO audit firms check with checklists, but at PixelChefs we put our in depth guide into actionable items, that we can actually DO for you – our people, putting principles into PRACTICE so you can focus on your core business!
