Crawlability and indexing
Inspect status codes, robots instructions, canonical signals and sitemap coverage. Verify the issue before deciding how urgently to act.
Deliverable: evidence + recommended actionA CLEAR STARTING POINT
Understand what may be holding your website back before investing in changes. I review technical SEO, service-page content, local relevance and the path to enquiry, then turn the findings into a prioritised action plan.

Explore a sample review structure. These examples illustrate the method; they are not findings about your website.
Inspect status codes, robots instructions, canonical signals and sitemap coverage. Verify the issue before deciding how urgently to act.
Deliverable: evidence + recommended actionCompare the offer, headings, direct answers and internal links against the real questions a prospective customer needs answered.
Deliverable: page-level content prioritiesReview mobile usability, contact routes and friction. A page needs to work for visitors as well as be understandable to search engines.
Deliverable: practical checks and next stepsThe depth is agreed around the size of the website and the decisions you need to make.
Crawl access, status codes, canonical signals, sitemaps and important pages.
Page purpose, overlapping topics, internal links and missing customer answers.
Clear services, real evidence, location information and the next step.
Search and analytics evidence where access exists; missing data is recorded, not invented.
An audit should make the next decision easier, not create another dashboard to interpret.
The main problems and opportunities in plain language.
Affected URLs, evidence and recommended changes.
Actions ordered by value, effort and dependencies.
What can be handled now, what needs content or development, and how to verify the result.
Your website, the services you want to prioritise and the customers or locations you want to reach. Search Console and analytics access can improve the evidence; where they are unavailable, the limits are made explicit.
You can use the roadmap to guide your own work, or include agreed implementation with me. A website rebuild is not an automatic conclusion.
GOOD QUESTIONS
A clear set of findings with supporting evidence, priorities and recommended next steps. The exact page coverage and deliverable format are agreed before the review.
The review can cover accessible content, explicit service information, direct answers and appropriate structured data. These support a useful website but do not guarantee AI citations.
Access helps assess indexing and search data. A public website review can still identify issues without it, but the report will state the limits of the evidence.
Implementation can be agreed separately, or you can use the action plan with your existing developer. The audit does not silently include an unlimited rebuild.
Timing depends on the website’s size, complexity and available access. I confirm the scope and expected delivery schedule before starting.
The review distinguishes confirmed problems from observations and missing evidence. Each finding identifies the affected URL or template, its impact and a way to verify the fix.
Inspect HTTP responses, redirect chains, robots directives, canonical signals and sitemap coverage. Check whether important pages are discoverable through normal internal links. An excluded URL is not automatically an error: its intended role matters.
Compare delivered HTML with rendered content where needed. Review language routes and alternate-language relationships when translations are in scope. Flag conflicting signals rather than changing working URLs without a plan.
Identify heavy resources, layout instability and interaction bottlenecks on representative templates. Distinguish laboratory measurements from real-user Core Web Vitals data; a single score does not describe every visitor.
Illustrative example: a key service page has a noindex instruction. First confirm that the page should appear in search, check the delivered and rendered instructions, and identify where the directive is set. The recommendation includes the affected URL, an implementation owner and a post-change check—not simply “improve SEO”.
A standard SEO review is not a penetration test, legal compliance certification or a guarantee of indexing. Server logs, private analytics and full-site coverage require the access and scope agreed before the audit.
Technical access is one part of visibility. Use semantic analysis when content roles or customer questions remain unclear, and website architecture planning when navigation or a redesign needs a stronger structure.
Map customer questions and search intent to distinct pages and content briefs.
Plan the page hierarchy, navigation and internal links before a build or redesign.
