Audits: A Diagnostic-First Entry Point

Standalone audits are useful only when the buyer can provide approved access, name the investor-customer decision, define the market and surfaces in scope, and assign an implementation owner. The signed proposal defines systems, samples, evidence, reviewers, deliverables, acceptance criteria, and excluded implementation. An audit is not execution and does not make an unevaluated or occupied category available.

When selected in the signed scope, this work is delivered within the monthly retainer. Third-party media, software, data, contractor, or other pass-through costs are identified separately before approval.

Capabilities Available Within This Service

SEO Audits

  • Technical SEO Audit

    Review approved crawl, indexation, rendering, schema, performance, and architecture surfaces. Rank findings by documented severity, decision impact, implementation dependency, and evidence confidence.

  • Content Audit

    Inventory in-scope URLs against approved investor-customer decisions, evidence, freshness, overlap, conversion path, and review requirements. Recommend retention, refresh, consolidation, redirect, or retirement without authorizing new category claims.

  • Backlink Audit

    Review selected link sources, anchors, relevance, risk indicators, and comparison gaps. Findings are diagnostic; no removal, disavowal, outreach response, ranking effect, or recovery is guaranteed.

  • Site Architecture Audit

    Review approved URLs, navigation, templates, internal links, CMS constraints, and decision paths. Separate observed defects from redesign preferences and name the owner required for each material change.

  • Competitive SEO Audit

    Compare selected competitors across approved market surfaces, content, technical implementation, citations, and links using documented samples. Competitor visibility does not establish category availability or prove which tactic caused an outcome.

AI and LLM Audits

  • LLM Visibility Audit

    Sample approved questions across selected engines and record citation presence, source diversity, entity consistency, and volatility. Results are time-bound observations, not deterministic ranking, training-data, placement, or attribution proof.

Conversion and Tracking

  • CRO and Funnel Audit

    Review the defined funnel, qualification, routing, experiment history, friction, samples, and downstream business events. Recommendations state hypotheses, evidence, traffic requirements, guardrails, and decision rules without promising lift.

  • Analytics and Tracking Audit

    Review approved client, server, CRM, product, and offline collection; identities, consent, restricted fields, definitions, reconciliation, attribution, and reporting. Findings identify uncertainty and ownership rather than certifying financial results.

Site and Local

  • Platform Build Audit

    For live sites, review approved CMS architecture, components, integrations, accessibility, performance, security, publishing controls, and maintenance ownership against documented requirements.

  • Local SEO Audit

    Review approved provider facts, eligible locations or service areas, Google Business Profiles, citations, consistency, reviews, schema, and local pages. The audit cannot create local presence, category eligibility, licensing, or service availability.

/ 02 / How We Work

The Process.

  1. / 01

    Scope and Decision Contract

    Define the approved provider, investor customer, decision, market surfaces, access, samples, evidence, reviewers, exclusions, acceptance criteria, implementation owner, and regulated or occupied-category constraints in a written scope.

  2. / 02

    Evidence Collection

    Collect only authorized tool, analytics, platform, content, source, and stakeholder evidence. Record dates, samples, missing access, uncertainty, and limitations rather than filling gaps with assumptions.

  3. / 03

    Diagnostic and Implementation Queue

    Separate observed facts, hypotheses, risks, and recommendations. Prioritize material findings by decision impact, severity, evidence confidence, dependencies, owner, effort, and stop/go criteria.

  4. / 04

    Authorized Findings Review

    Review findings, limitations, regulated issues, dependencies, implementation decisions, and acceptance with named owners. Work beyond the audit requires separate written approval or signed scope.

/ 03 / Who This Is For

Fit, Proof, and Failure Modes.

  • / 01

    Good Audit Fit

    You need a crawl, analytics, content, conversion, or platform diagnosis before approving budget, redesign scope, or a retainer.

  • / 02

    Bad Audit Fit

    You already know the blockers but lack developer, content, compliance, or analytics owners to implement the work.

  • / 03

    Proof Standard

    A useful audit names the evidence source, severity, business impact, implementation owner, and stop/go priority for each material finding in scope.

/ The operating boundary

An audit records time-bound evidence, limitations, risks, and prioritized decisions within the signed scope. It does not create category availability, approve provider eligibility, replace licensed or regulated review, implement recommendations, prove causality, certify outcomes, or guarantee rankings, citations, conversions, qualified pipeline, funded loans, transactions, accounts, doors, revenue, or valuation.
