Paid SEO Audit: Full Diagnosis, Prioritised Action Plan
Technical, content, and AI-search visibility covered in one fixed-fee audit. Delivered in 5 working days. The fee is credited against your first month if you go on to work together.
The gap between a free consultation and a retainer
A paid SEO audit delivers what neither a free consultation nor a monthly retainer provides alone: a fully documented diagnosis before any commitment. A free consultation covers the surface. A retainer fixes issues over time. This audit maps all of them in one deliverable.
You get a thorough, documented diagnosis across technical SEO, content quality, and AI search visibility. Revenue impact determines every priority. You leave with a clear plan your team can act on independently.
Fixed fee: £495. Delivered in 5 working days. If you go on to work together, the audit fee is credited against your first month.
What the audit covers
Technical SEO
Technical SEO covers seven ranked areas: crawlability and indexation errors, Core Web Vitals across device types, site architecture and internal linking, structured data validity, canonical configuration, mobile usability, and redirect chains. Each finding is scored against a 40-point checklist by ranking impact.
Content and topical authority
Content gap analysis against your top three organic competitors. Which pages have the content depth to rank, which are thin, and which are cannibalising each other. Topical coverage map showing where your site has authority and where it is absent.
AI-search visibility
Citation presence across ChatGPT, Bing Copilot, Google AI Overviews, and Perplexity is assessed for your five most commercially important queries. Entity coverage, schema quality, and Speakable implementation are each reviewed. This section produces the baseline measurement for any future AI-search work.
Prioritised action plan
Every finding is scored on a two-axis matrix: effort to implement versus expected revenue impact. The output is a ranked action list you can hand directly to a developer or work through yourself. The walkthrough call covers the top ten items in detail.
The 45-minute walkthrough call
You review the full report live with me on a 45-minute call after delivery. I run through findings on screen, answer questions, and confirm implementation priorities. You leave with a clear first 30 days of work mapped out.
Your site needs at least 10 pages of existing content for this scope to be meaningful. The section below clarifies who this audit is built for.
Who this is for
Good fit
Not the right fit
Honest scope limits
The paid SEO audit is a diagnostic, not an implementation. It identifies and prioritises the issues. Fixing them is separate work. The walkthrough call clarifies what requires a developer, what you can handle yourself, and what an ongoing retainer would cover.
The audit does not include content writing, link building, or ongoing monitoring. If the action plan reveals issues that need sustained attention, that conversation begins at the end of the walkthrough call.
Sites with more than 500 indexed pages need a scoping conversation before booking. Complex enterprise architectures may fall outside the standard £495 fee. Get in touch to discuss. Common questions about scope and deliverables are answered below.
Frequently asked questions
What exactly do I receive?
A written report (15-25 pages covering technical SEO, content, and AI-search visibility), a prioritised recommendations spreadsheet with effort and impact scores, and the 45-minute walkthrough call. All documents are yours to keep and share.
How does the credit work if we go on to work together?
Start a retainer within 60 days of delivery and the £495 is credited against your first month. No minimum contract applies.
How is this different from the free consultation?
The free consultation is a 30-minute call. The paid SEO audit is a documented investigation that typically uncovers 15-30 specific issues and produces written deliverables you act on independently.
Can I share the report with my development team?
Yes. The spreadsheet is formatted for developer handoff: each item includes the affected URLs, issue description, recommended fix, and effort estimate.
What if the audit reveals problems I cannot afford to fix right now?
Revenue impact determines every priority. You will know exactly which two or three items deliver the highest return for the lowest effort and can act on those first.
