SEO AUDITING SERVICES
Why SEO auditing services?
SEO audits are necessary to keep your site optimized. They give insights into your website’s overall performance and help you create an effective SEO strategy going forward. Search engine algorithms and Google Search Essentials are continually being modified so it is important to audit your website on a regular basis.
SEO auditing helps you prioritize the work that will have the biggest impact on your success in search, beginning with the assets you already have on hand — your website. This step ensures your off-page optimization and link building work will lead to results that have a direct impact on your return on investment (ROI).
Does my website need an SEO audit?
While we recommend a yearly audit, you should monitor a website's analytics and keyword rankings more frequently to stay competitive.
Signs your website may need SEO auditing services:
- Minimal traffic
- A high bounce rate
- Significant traffic loss
- Slow to load
- Outdated or underachieving content
- Broken links
- Displaying an “HTTPS not secure” warning
- Ranking lower than your competitors
- Failure to rank for long-tail keywords
- Duplicate content
Our team conducts comprehensive SEO audits that are 100% transparent. We’ll look at your site’s on-page, off-page, and technical SEO to determine what’s working (and what’s not) and create a step-by-step action plan with the best SEO practices in mind.

OUR SEO AUDITING SERVICES
TECHNICAL SEO AUDITING SERVICES
Technical SEO audits help optimize each page of your website to perform well in organic search. Your website is a complex network of pages that should follow Google guidelines to help improve your performance in search.
A technical SEO audit uses tools such as Google Search Console to find notifications, errors, and updates affecting your on-page SEO. We also use other tools, like Screaming Frog, Moz Pro, Majestic SEO, Semrush, and Ahrefs to help discover additional insights regarding the following elements:
KEYWORD RESEARCH SERVICES
Keyword research helps you discover keyword opportunities, improve on-page optimization, and ensure your content is aligned with your SEO goals. Targeting the right keywords can help you become competitive in your search space, answer search queries your audience is asking, and set the foundation for the content you need in order to attract your customers.
We never start a project without keyword research — it's a service that's included in every campaign. With our keyword research services, we’ll get to know your industry, company, competitors, and target audience to help you discover the best keywords for you to target. Then we’ll identify keyword themes that, when segmented into more meaningful groupings, can maximize opportunity. You’ll receive a full keyword research report with keyword themes, opportunities, and trends, as well as next steps or recommendations.
ON-PAGE SEO SERVICES
On-page SEO helps search engines understand the content of the given webpage and its relationship to a searcher’s query. As search engines better understand user intent and regularly update their algorithms, it’s essential to stay updated with best practices to maximize your visibility in search.
What is on-page SEO?
On-page SEO (also known as on-site SEO) is the process of optimizing website pages to improve rankings and user experience. This type of SEO focuses on website features you can control, including title tags, content, headers, URLs, and internal links.
On-page SEO is different than off-page SEO, which optimizes elements outside of your site (backlinks, for example).

CLIENT REVIEWS
In a sea of questionable and spammy link building providers, Page One Power is someone that you can trust and someone that will get you good results.
Thanks to Page One Power's efforts, the client has seen an improvement in Google keyword pages and gained quality links. The team has conducted regular meetings to provide progress updates and quick responses. Their transparency and extensive research are notable in the partnership.
Coming from an agency background, I can really see exactly how a good agency would retain their clients for a long time...and of course the opposite way around. The work is good, the numbers are good. They stand behind whatever they say, and the way they conduct their business is very professional.
I have used Page One Power for many years to build high quality links for multiple web properties. They take great care of their customers and I couldn't ask for a better partner. I highly recommend.
I've always found the team to be both responsive and quick to do whatever it takes to make a campaign successful. I've worked with many SEO agencies over the years but Page One Power has been the most professional and easy to deal with by far.
