Who reviews it

Checked by a person, not a tool

Automated SEO reports are everywhere and mostly useless: hundreds of warnings with no sense of which ones matter. Our audit is done by a specialist who looks at your site the way Google and your customers do.

You get a short, readable summary: what is holding you back, what to fix first and roughly what each fix is worth. If your site is in good shape, we will say that too.

Sample checks

Questions the audit answers

The audit answers the questions owners ask us most.

1

Why are we not on page one?

We compare your pages with the sites that are, and point to the biggest differences in content, links and technical health.

2

Why do rivals appear on the map and we do not?

We check your profile category, reviews, distance and details against the businesses in the map pack.

3

Did our redesign hurt us?

We look for missing redirects, pages dropped from Google and changes to titles and content.

4

Is SEO worth it for us at all?

We look at how many people search for what you sell and how hard those searches are to win.

Privacy

What we do with your details

We use the details you give us only to prepare the audit and reply to you. We do not add you to a mailing list, sell your details or pass them to anyone else.

If you do not hire us, we delete the audit request and any access you gave us after 90 days. Full details are in our privacy notice.

You are welcome to request an audit for a site you are thinking of buying, a client site if you are an agency, or a competitor you want to understand better. Just tell us in the form, so the summary focuses on what you need to know.

Access to Google Search Console and your Business Profile is optional. Without it we can still check a great deal from the outside. With it, we can see exactly which pages Google has indexed, which searches already bring visitors and any warnings Google has raised, which makes the summary more precise.

We never make changes during a free audit. Even if you share access, we only look. Changes are made only once you have agreed a plan and know exactly what will be done.

Who it suits

Who the free audit is for

Local firms

Trades, clinics, shops and services who want more calls from the map pack.

Online shops

Shops whose products sell but whose category pages do not rank.

Firms after a drop

Anyone whose enquiries fell after a redesign, update or change of provider.

Firms comparing quotes

Owners with an SEO proposal who want an outside view first.

Questions

Free audit FAQs

Is the audit really free?
Yes. There is no charge, no card details are needed and there is no obligation to buy anything afterwards. Many firms use the summary to make the fixes themselves.
Why do you offer it for free?
It is the best way to show how we work. Some firms go on to hire us, many simply use the findings themselves, and both outcomes are fine with us. A useful audit is the best advert we have.
What do you need from me?
Just your website address and the area you serve. Access to Search Console helps but is not required.
Will you chase me afterwards?
No. We send the summary, offer a call and leave the next step to you. If you want to talk later, even months later, just reply to the email.
Can I share the audit with my developer?
Yes. It is written so a developer or your current provider can act on it, with each finding explained and the suggested fix spelled out.
How is this different from a free online SEO checker?
Online checkers scan for hundreds of generic warnings. Our audit is done by a person who looks at your rivals, your market and your Business Profile, and tells you which few things actually matter.
Do you audit sites outside Birmingham?
Yes. Most requests come from Birmingham and the West Midlands, but we audit sites anywhere in the UK.
What if my website is brand new?
Send it anyway. For a new site the audit focuses on indexing, page structure and the searches worth targeting first, which saves time and money later.

Why start here

An SEO audit Birmingham firms can act on

An SEO audit is the cheapest way to find out whether SEO is worth your money. Sometimes the answer is a handful of fixes you can make yourself in an afternoon. Sometimes it is a longer plan. Either way, you decide with real information in front of you.

The audit is run by the same Birmingham SEO team that handles our monthly clients, so the advice reflects work that is live today. If you want the fixes done for you, the SEO pricing page shows every option.

We look at your site through the eyes of a customer in Birmingham as well as through Google's. That means checking what page one shows for your main searches from inside the city, which rivals sit in the map pack and how quickly your pages load on a phone. The findings are specific to your business, not a copy of a template report sent to everyone.

You do not need to know anything about SEO to use the summary. Each finding comes with a short explanation and a suggested fix, so you can pass it straight to whoever looks after your website.
