Is your website not ranking in the search results for your keywords or company name? Or maybe it’s not generating leads (or the right leads) for your business?

An SEO analysis company performs SEO audit services that uncover issues that are preventing your website from delivering results.
SurgeStream is a full-service digital marketing company, helping businesses improve their online presence and lead generation efforts. Below we highlight the benefits of working with an SEO analysis company, what happens during a technical seo audit, and a few free and paid tools to help you grow your company.
Benefits of Working with an SEO Analysis Company
When you need to figure out why your website isn’t performing, a technical seo audit or website audit is an absolute must. These audits will pinpoint issues on your website or off-site SEO campaigns that are negatively impacting your digital marketing strategy.
By working with an SEO analysis company, you’ll not only receive the audit but also receive guidance and insights from experts on how to fix the issues found. This guidance and insight is key, as the more you as a business owner understand about SEO, the better decisions you can make regarding your online marketing.
Other benefits of working with an SEO analysis business include:
Manual SEO Audit Services – You might be thinking this is not a benefit, that a manual review of your website is time-consuming. However, this attention to detail is actually just what you need when digging into source code or reviewing backlink profiles.
Review and Explanation – A lot of items could come up after auditing your website, some of which you might have no idea what they mean or how to fix. Partnering with SEO experts, however, means you’ll get a rundown of all the items and what it will take to get them SEO-friendly.
What You’ll Uncover During a Technical SEO Audit
So, what are some of the items a SEO analysis could uncover during a technical SEO audit or website audit? Let’s go over both audit services:
Technical SEO Audit Services
Technical SEO audit services involve auditing the technical details of your on-page and off-page SEO. This can include:
Your site’s structure, which includes your URLs and navigation
Your backlink profile
The consistency of your name, address, and phone number listings
Your website’s crawl errors
Your website’s performance, including site speed
Checking for broken links on your website
Reviewing your website content for keyword cannibalization
Technical SEO audits are necessary when deep-diving into your website to find out why your website isn’t ranking.
Website Audit Services
Website audit services can also include on-page and off-page SEO items, however there is more of a focus on conversion-optimization rather than search engine ranking. Items under review include:
Your Meta Tags – are the title tags, meta descriptions and heading tags keyword focused?
Content marketing analysis – Is your site’s text and content on target with your keywords? Any duplicate content issues?
Contact forms – are they too long, too short, or not easy to fill out?
Broken links – are there broken links on the site that impede a visitor’s progress?
Popups – are they used correctly or are they preventing a visitor from moving forward in the customer journey?
Some of the items in a website audit might overlap with a technical seo audit and that’s perfectly okay. In fact, if you can, get both audits so that you can have a holistic overview of your website and what’s holding you back from growing your company.
