A SaaS SEO Audit Before You Hire Anyone

Yes. The audit is a scoped piece of work, quoted after a free consultation. The consultation costs nothing and tells us how large your site is, what data we can access and what you need answered. The quote follows from that, and the audit starts once you approve it.

A written report with every finding tied to the pages and signups it affects, a ranked list of fixes with effort estimates, the recorded baseline and a first 90-day plan. We walk you through it on a call, answer your team's questions and leave you with something your engineers and writers can work from directly.

It depends on the size of the site, the number of competitors and prompts we test and how quickly we get access. You get the timeline in the quote, before you commit. The slowest part is usually waiting for access to Search Console, analytics and the CMS, so having those ready shortens it noticeably.

No. The audit is built to be useful on its own. Some teams implement it in-house, some hand it to a partner they already use, and some ask us to run it. If you choose us, the baseline and plan carry straight into the engagement, so nothing has to be redone or paid for twice.

Read access to Google Search Console, Bing Webmaster Tools and your analytics, plus a CMS login or a staging link where possible. Server logs help on larger sites. We don't need write access to anything for the audit, and we can work within your security requirements if you have them.

Yes. We test the prompts buyers use in your category across ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, Gemini, Google AI Overviews, Google AI Mode and Copilot and record whether you appear, who appears instead and which sources those answers cite. Those findings sit next to the search findings, because the same pages and the same gaps usually explain both.

Often that's the best time. Redesigns and migrations are where redirects break, pages drop out of the index and templates lose their headings or schema. Catching that in the first weeks costs far less than finding it after a quarter of falling signups. The audit checks redirects, indexation and rendering on your revenue pages first, then the rest.

Usually the blockers on revenue pages come first, because new content on a site crawlers struggle with underperforms. But not every warning matters. The audit separates the handful of technical problems that cost you signups from the long list that can wait, so engineering time goes where it actually changes something.

Yes. Each finding comes with the affected URLs, the specific change and how to check it worked, written for whoever will do it. Engineers get tickets they can drop into a sprint, and writers get briefs for the missing pages. If something needs judgment along the way, we can join a follow-up call.
