Well, SEO audits are a lot more interesting than the financial audits we used to do.

You see, we were financial auditors, skilled and trained to identify inaccuracies in financial documents. This training produced an innate ability to quickly recognize where companies were missing the mark.

We decided to apply these auditing skills to SEO, and quickly found out that we were good at SEO audits. Specifically, we were really good at auditing competitor marketing efforts, reverse engineering their success, and identifying opportunities for our clients to capitalize.

We offer SEO audits because companies find a lot of value in our service, and we enjoy helping businesses succeed online.

Our independent SEO audits typically cost $2,500 and have a turnaround time of 2-3 weeks.

Markitors SEO audits are comprehensive to ensure you have the best information to improve your website’s SEO. Here are a few things to expect from an SEO marketing audit from us:

Audits must be done independently to be done well. Plain and simple.

Any company offering you a free SEO audit is looking to land you as an ongoing client. The information provided in a free audit is skewed towards their end goal of getting you as a client. You can’t trust the information presented.

We are truly an independent SEO audit company. We started as financial auditors, and now we perform independent SEO audits for a large fee to ensure that the information we present is truthful and free of an bias.

You can try a free audit and be roped into a sales pitch. Or you can utilize our SEO audit service to get to the root of what is truly going on with your website’s SEO.

Our typical turnaround time on an SEO audit is 2-3 weeks.

Our process includes a kick-off call to learn your marketing objectives. Then we audit your website. Lastly, we deliver our findings in a PDF report and a presentation to the team to ensure complete clarity on our recommendations.

In our SEO audits, we focus mainly Google. But we also incorporate Bing, Yahoo, and sometimes DuckDuckGo into our analysis, based on what we’re seeing in Google Analytics. Every search engine has the ability to drive organic search traffic, but Google is generally the most powerful.

If you want to audit your website’s SEO on your own, you can take these steps:

• Find out what keywords you currently rank for and where you have opportunities to use more keywords.
• Check if you have any duplicate content issues (including duplicate meta titles/meta descriptions).
• Determine if you have any pages that are too thin in their content.
• Scan for broken links (404s).
• Check if you are using internal links effectively to interlink pages on your website.
• Monitor these key SEO metrics.
