What is the Importance of SEO Audits?

SEO audits are vital to the overall success of your website. These audits provide:

SEO Weaknesses

Your results will help you identify on-page elements that are optimised correctly. It will help you identify any weaknesses, big and small, that need re-visiting, such as your meta descriptions may be too long or too short.

These days there are a number of complex elements that impact your website's SEO success. Google will consider how your site is performing across numerous levels from the quality of content you publish to how fast your website loads.

Measurable

It is important to measure the effectiveness of any SEO techniques carried out on your website. The initial SEO audit will set the scene, helping you measure and track the progress. You want to conduct an audit after publishing or site, or before hiring a SEO professional, this way when changes are made, you can monitor the effects, measuring the success of the services you are paying for.

Priorities

SEO audits provide you with information on things that need improvement. It is not uncommon for you to want to get all these hiccups out of the way, but you should prioritise them based on importance.

SEO focuses on providing your users with a great user experience, along with providing high quality content, and showing search engines you are an authority in your industry, and a credible source of information. With this in mind, you will want to prioritise the suggested amendments highlighted in the SEO audit. 

Track Keyword Ranking

A great way to determine how well your website is performing is to monitor your keyword performance. Optimising your site should be done with carefully researched and analysed keywords. With an optimised site, your keywords should climb to the top of ranks, while if you are dropping ranking, this is a sign that you have some serious issues to handle, or you may have been given penalties.

Competitor Analysis

SEO audits are not limited to your own website, you can also perform this audit on your competitors to identify their strengths and weaknesses. You can identify what keywords they are using, you can examine their back link profile, and assess their SEO strategy. 

Conclusion

Without a SEO audit, you are carrying out your search engine optimisation strategy blind. You have no idea on what is working and what needs your attention to improve your results. These audits offer excellent benefits, providing you with an opportunity to tweak your campaign to achieve better results, helping you reach your audience, and drive quality traffic to your website.
