SEO Audit of Website Code and Content
Every website uses different technologies such as PHP, Java, .net, etc. These technologies have their own issues that might prevent your website from being discovered and indexed by search engines. Some of the technical problems of a website include:
- Duplicate URLs leading to duplicate content
- Parameter in URLs leading to duplicate content
- Trailing and non-trailing slashes in URLs
- Excessive number of broken URLs
- Incorrect XML sitemap configuration
- Non discoverable content due to blocking java scripts
- No use of rich snippets across image and video files
- Website architecture issues
Content issues include
- Duplicate title, description, and heading
- Incorrect content targeting
- No use of Call to Action across the website
- Content copied on other websites
Here’s an example: one of the websites that we were working with had thousands of video pages indexed on Google. These pages only had embedded videos and no content on them. This is treated as thin content by Google, but the client was unaware about the problem these individual video pages created. Fixing the videos, content, and other technical issues helped the client improve rankings and traffic to their website.
We assess and provide recommendations in your SEO audit for elements like: website architecture, semantic tags (title tags, meta description, headings), indexing and crawling issues, media optimization (images and videos), page load speed, URL formatting, geo-targeting, visitor engagement, conversion gaps, UGC implications and more.
