A real SEO review, free of charge.
Tell me about your site and what you're trying to achieve. I'll look at it personally — the same way I look at a client project — and send back the three things I'd focus on first.
Two pages, written by me, delivered within 48 hours. No tool exports. No drip campaign. No sales calls unless you ask for one.
- Technical review — crawlability, indexation, architecture, Core Web Vitals
- Content check — search intent, coverage, internal linking, keyword targeting
- Competitive context — who you're up against and where they're winning
- Three prioritised actions — what I'd fix first, and roughly what each one involves
An actual snippet from a recent review.
Below are three findings taken from a real audit I delivered for an e-commerce client. Names and URLs removed. Everything else is verbatim.
Three of the findings
47,000 product filter URLs are in the index
Faceted navigation is generating indexable URLs for every filter combination. This is diluting crawl budget and splitting ranking signals. Fix: add noindex to filter parameter URLs.
Category pages have no unique content above the fold
Every category page opens directly with the product grid. Google treats this as "thin content" and prefers the competitor's page, which has 300 words of buyer intent above the grid.
Competitors have 3× the referring domains on category-level URLs
Not a domain-level gap — a page-level one. Competitors earn links directly to category pages from review sites and "best of" roundups. Fix: build 5–8 editorial placements pointed at top categories.
Not a 300-line tool export.
Most "free SEO audits" are automated crawls — pages of findings with no prioritisation, no context, and no indication of what actually matters for your business.
What I send back is the opposite. Two pages, three priorities, written for someone who has to decide what to do on Monday morning. Each finding explains the problem, why it matters, and roughly what fixing it involves.
If I can't find three things worth doing, I'll tell you that too. Some sites don't need an audit — they need a strategy shift, or better positioning, or patience. I'll say so instead of padding the report.
Who this is for.
Not every enquiry is a good fit. Reading this before you submit saves us both time.
When this review makes sense.
- You have a real website generating or capable of generating revenue
- You're willing to implement — or have someone who can
- You understand SEO is a 3–12 month investment, not a 3-week fix
- You want an honest second opinion, not a pitch
- You're an agency wanting a senior review of a client's site
- You're planning a migration, redesign, or replatform
When it's a waste of your time.
- You're looking for a ranking guarantee or a guaranteed traffic number
- You want a link-building-only provider (I don't do that in isolation)
- Your budget for SEO is under $1,000/month — the return won't justify it
- You want someone to "just fix the meta tags" without a broader plan
- You're looking for the cheapest option available
What happens after you submit.
Confirmation
You get an email confirming I've received your request and when to expect the review. If I can't take it — because the fit isn't right or I'm at capacity — I'll tell you then, not after two weeks.
The review
I crawl your site, review your Search Console (if you've shared access), compare you to three competitors, and write up the three priorities. Delivered as a PDF and a short email summary.
A call
If you want to talk through the findings, I'll offer a 30-minute call. If you'd rather just take the review and run with it, no problem — no follow-up sequence either way.
Before you submit.
Is this a real audit or a lead magnet?
It's a real review, written by me, specific to your site. It's a lead magnet in the sense that it lets you see how I work before committing to anything — but the review itself is the deliverable, not a teaser.
Why do you ask for a budget range?
Because the honest answer to "can we work together" depends on it. If you tell me your budget is $500/month, I'll tell you SEO isn't the right channel for you right now. If it's $10k/month, we can talk about substantial engagements. Either way, you get a straight answer faster.
What if I'm not ready to hire anyone?
That's fine — the review stands on its own. Most people who request one aren't ready to hire. The review is useful either way. If you decide later you want help implementing, the conversation is easier because we've already established the context.
How much of my site will you actually look at?
Publicly crawlable pages — homepage, key service or category pages, top blog posts, and the general architecture. If you grant Search Console access, I can also see which queries you're currently ranking for, which sharpens the review considerably.
Do you work with agencies on this?
Yes. Agencies frequently request reviews for client sites they're pitching or working with. The review is the same, and I can deliver it under your brand if you'd prefer.
What if I don't have Search Console access?
That's fine — I'll work with what I can see publicly. If you can grant read access later, that helps, but it's not required to get useful findings.
Why only 3 slots per month?
Because each review takes me 3–4 hours of genuine work, and I run a business too. Three is the honest number I can deliver at quality. When they're gone, the badge disappears and the next batch opens on the 1st.
Can I request reviews for multiple sites?
Yes. Fill out the form once per site, or submit one form and mention the others in the challenge field. For more than three sites, it's better to talk first.
