SEO audits for technical, content, local and eCommerce SEO

An SEO audit gives you a clear view of how your website is performing in organic search, what is holding it back, and what should be prioritised next.

At Ignite Digital, we combine SEO knowledge with real website development and maintenance experience. That means we do not just identify problems — we understand how they happen, how serious they are, and what is usually involved in fixing them.

Why choose Ignite Digital

SEO experience plus website implementation

We do not just look at rankings and keywords. We review the website itself — including technical setup, content structure, platform limitations, tracking, speed, indexation and conversion paths.

Because Ignite Digital works across SEO, website maintenance, WordPress, WooCommerce, Shopify and website migrations, our audit recommendations are grounded in how websites are actually built and managed.

Clear priorities, not an overwhelming report

A useful SEO audit should not leave you with a confusing list of hundreds of issues. It should show what matters, what can wait, and what is most likely to improve traffic, enquiries or sales.

Our recommendations are prioritised so you know where to start, what needs technical help, what needs content work, and what can be handled later.

Manual SEO Audits

Not just another automated SEO report

Automated SEO tools can be useful, but they often flag hundreds of issues without explaining which ones actually matter. A missing meta description, a complex indexation problem and a broken conversion path are not equal priorities.

Our SEO audits use tools to gather data, but the recommendations are manually reviewed and prioritised. You get context, explanation and a realistic action plan — not just a spreadsheet of errors.

SEO Audit FAQs

Common questions about SEO audits

Answers to common questions about SEO audits, technical SEO reviews and deciding what to fix first.

What is an SEO audit?

An SEO audit is a review of your website’s technical setup, content, rankings, competitors and search visibility. The goal is to identify what is working, what is broken, and what should be improved first.

Is your SEO audit free?

We can provide an initial SEO review to help identify whether a deeper audit is needed. More detailed SEO audits are quoted based on the size and complexity of the website.

Is this an automated SEO audit?

No. We may use SEO tools to collect data, but the findings are manually reviewed and prioritised. You receive context and recommendations, not just a generic software export.

What does an SEO audit include?

Depending on the website, an audit may include technical SEO, crawl and indexation checks, on-page SEO, content, competitors, backlinks, local SEO, eCommerce SEO, website speed and analytics tracking.

Can you fix the issues found in the audit?

Yes. Ignite Digital can help implement many SEO recommendations, especially for WordPress, WooCommerce, Shopify, technical SEO, content structure, internal links and tracking.

Do I need an SEO audit before monthly SEO?

In most cases, yes. An audit helps identify what should be fixed first so ongoing SEO work is focused on the right priorities.

Can you audit my current SEO agency’s work?

Yes. An SEO audit can be used as an independent second opinion if you are unsure whether your current SEO work is helping or whether the right areas are being prioritised.

Do you audit WordPress and WooCommerce websites?

Yes. We work with WordPress and WooCommerce websites regularly and can review both SEO issues and the technical website setup behind them.

Do you audit Shopify websites?

Yes. Shopify SEO audits can include collections, products, duplicate URLs, structured data, theme limitations, speed and conversion paths.

How long does an SEO audit take?

This depends on the size and complexity of the website. A small service business website is much quicker to review than a large eCommerce store or a site with migration or indexation issues.
