SEO Audit Services.
Find what is holding
your website back.
An SEO audit should explain what deserves attention and what to do next. C3i3 reviews how your website can be discovered, crawled, understood, and used, then turns the findings into a prioritized improvement plan.
An automated report can produce hundreds of warnings without explaining which ones affect a useful customer page. Some issues are technical, some concern the content, and others involve the route from a search visit to an inquiry. A business needs a decision, not just a score.
Our audit combines tool findings with a review of the pages and journeys that matter to your offer. Where access is available, we use your Search Console and analytics records to distinguish actual observations from assumptions. We state the scope, affected pages, evidence, recommended action, and the owner needed to resolve it.

The proposal confirms the final scope and format. The following components make the work useful to the people responsible for the next step.

The site sections, priority services, data sources, tools, and access limitations included in the audit.
- 02Technical discovery review
Relevant crawl, indexability, response, redirect, canonical, sitemap, and internal-link findings.
- 03Page and intent review
How priority pages explain the offer, answer the intended query, and avoid unnecessary overlap.
- 04Customer journey observations
Visible friction between a relevant landing page, supporting evidence, inquiry, and response expectations.
- 05Prioritized action register
Affected URLs, supporting evidence, impact rationale, proposed action, dependencies, and responsible role.

An accountable decision.
01Agree the business pages
We choose the offers, journeys, and site sections that matter, then confirm available records.
An audit scope and evidence plan.
02Inspect technical and content barriers
We examine tool findings alongside priority pages, links, metadata, accessibility to crawlers, and customer information.
A validated finding set.
03Prioritize the work
We distinguish issues that block access from improvements that need content, development, or a controlled test.
A sequenced action register.
04Explain the next phase
We review recommendations with you and define the work and checks needed to close the first group of issues.
A handover your team can use.
A finding needs an affected page and a next action.
An illustrative service page may be missing from an XML sitemap, have conflicting canonical signals, or be difficult to reach from the site's service navigation. The audit checks the evidence, identifies the affected URL, and recommends the appropriate correction. It does not assume that every warning explains a traffic decline.
| Decision or stage | What we examine | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Evidence | Affected URL and observed behavior | Make the finding reproducible. |
| Priority | Business relevance and dependencies | Choose the right order of work. |
| Verification | Check after the agreed change | Confirm the issue was resolved without treating it as a ranking promise. |
Agree the boundaries.
Then begin.
An audit can focus on priority service pages or a broader website. Depth depends on page count, templates, platform, access, and complexity. Development fixes, rewriting, link acquisition, paid tools, and ongoing SEO delivery are separately scoped. Rankings and traffic increases are not guaranteed.
We confirm deliverables, access requirements, responsibilities, milestones, review rounds, and fees in writing. Bring the decision you need to make; you do not need a polished brief.
Useful questions.
Clear answers.
What is included in an SEO audit?
The agreed scope can cover technical discovery and indexability, redirects and canonical signals, internal links, metadata, content intent, priority pages, and the path to an inquiry.
Is this more than an automated audit report?
Yes. We review relevant tool findings, connect them to affected pages and business needs, and provide a prioritized recommendation rather than only forwarding a score.
Do you need Google Search Console access?
Access can help validate indexing and search-performance observations. We agree the necessary permissions; without access, the report clearly states which findings rely on public evidence.
Will you fix the problems?
Implementation is quoted separately after the findings are agreed, or your team can use the action register. Each proposed fix should include an appropriate verification step.
Can the audit explain a traffic drop?
It can investigate likely causes using the records available. A timing correlation alone is not proof, and some changes cannot be attributed confidently from public data.
Does an SEO audit guarantee page-one rankings?
No. It identifies improvements and barriers within the scope. Competition, demand, content quality, links, and search systems also affect visibility.
Does this include AI search and AEO?
We can flag relevant connections, but a structured review of AI answers, citations, and answer readiness is covered by our separate AI Visibility Audit service.
What do we receive at the end?
A written findings and action register, affected URLs and evidence, priorities and dependencies, and a discussion of the first implementation phase.
