Comprehensive Website Audit
Your Website Needs More Than a Surface-level Checkup
Website issues don’t tend to announce themselves until they’re costing you money. Slow pages tank conversions. Security gaps put you at risk. Poor SEO means competitors are winning. Poor content structure blocks accessibility and findability for AI chatbots like ChatGPT.
Most audits check boxes in isolated categories. Our comprehensive audit shows how everything connects.

Free Audits vs. Comprehensive Analysis
Not sure where to start? We offer free 1-hour audits in each of these areas to give you an initial baseline understanding of your site’s health:
- Free Website Audit General health check covering UX, content, performance, and security basics. One hour, one-page report with 5-10 prioritized suggestions. No login required.
- Free SEO Audit We assess visibility across Google and AI tools. Keyword options, technical SEO, and content gaps. One hour, one-page report with key next steps. No login required.

These free audits show you immediate problems with actionable fixes. Many organizations start with one free audit, implement those changes, then come back when they’re ready for more.
Comprehensively Connecting the Dots
Our comprehensive audit includes deep analysis of all three areas plus the core connections between them.
You get a full top-to-bottom site inspection that looks for other underlying issues:
- 10 hours of expert analysis (vs. 1 hour per free audit)
- 5-page detailed report (vs. 1-page snapshot)
- 20-30 prioritized recommendations (vs. 5-10 quick wins)
- Fixes ranked by business impact, not just technical severity
We use the same automated tools and surface-level checks as the free audits, but allocate additional hours and manual reviews with trained eyes for this comprehensive option.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a comprehensive audit take?
The analysis takes 1-2 weeks from the time we receive admin access. You’ll have your detailed report and consultation within 10 business days.
Do I need to provide admin access?
If you choose a comprehensive audit, yes. A comprehensive audit requires backend access to analyze plugin health, database optimization, security configurations, and other technical aspects we can’t assess from the frontend. The Free Audits do not require admin access.
What's the difference between your free audits and the comprehensive audit?
Free audits provide a snapshot view of one specific area using automated tools plus light manual review. They’re valuable for understanding surface-level issues. The comprehensive audit is a deep manual analysis across all six areas, revealing how issues interconnect and providing strategic priorities based on your specific business goals.
Can you implement the recommendations?
Absolutely. Many clients engage our team for implementation through our website care plans or custom development services. The audit cost can also apply toward larger development projects over $10,000.
What if I just need help in one area?
Start with one of our free focused audits. If the issues are isolated to that area, we can provide targeted suggestions. If we spot interconnected problems during a free audit, we’ll recommend the comprehensive approach.
Do you audit sites built on platforms other than WordPress?
While our deepest expertise is in WordPress, we can audit sites on most platforms. The analysis methodology remains the same, though implementation recommendations may vary by platform.
