What our audits actually are

Each audit is a focused report on one area of your site's SEO. Our AI agents run the checks on your key pages. Then an experienced SEO professional reviews your site and checks every finding by hand before you get a plain-English PDF that says: here's what's wrong, here's why it matters, here's how to fix it. No 50-page filler. No "buy our agency to get the fix" upsell pressure. The Backlink, Competitor Gap, and Google Business Profile audits are different: an experienced SEO professional does those fully by hand.

Most audits are delivered in 1 to 2 business days. The Google Business Profile, Backlink, and Competitor Gap audits take 2 to 3 (the Backlink Audit counts from when you upload your link files), and the Ecommerce audit takes 3 to 5.

How is this different from the free audit?

Two things:

  • Depth. The 30-second free audit is a quick scan based on automated checks. In a paid audit, our AI agents read up to 15 of your key pages (the number depends on the audit), we run a Google PageSpeed test on your homepage, and an experienced SEO professional checks every finding before you get it.
  • Human framing. The free audit gives you scores and findings. The paid audit gives you a plain-English PDF a non-technical owner can hand to a developer or implement themselves.

All 11 audits

Each one is independently purchasable. Pick whichever matches your problem. If you are not sure where to start, the Site-Wide SEO Overview ($897) gives you a broad look at many areas in one report. It does not include the Backlink, Competitor Gap, or Google Business Profile audits.

Audits vs monthly subscriptions

The 25 AI agents in your monthly plan also produce reports - they run when you ask them to and show issues in your dashboard. So why pay for a paid audit?

  • Hands-on work. Some audits need steps the agents in your plan cannot do. The Google Business Profile Audit is done by hand, the Backlink Audit needs your own Search Console link files, and the Competitor Gap Audit crawls your competitors' sites. An experienced SEO professional reviews each one.
  • Documentation for stakeholders. A formal PDF you can send to a developer, your boss, or a partner.
  • One-shot diagnosis. If you don't need ongoing SEO work, you can buy one audit, fix what it identifies, and you're done.
