The Technical Audit Process
A systematic 5-step approach to uncovering technical issues
Access & Initial Crawl
I'll request read access to your Google Search Console. Then I run a comprehensive crawl of your entire website using Screaming Frog, capturing every technical data point.
Multi-Tool Analysis
Your site is analysed through multiple lenses: Screaming Frog (complete site crawl), Google Search Console (Google's direct feedback), PageSpeed Insights (Core Web Vitals), GTmetrix (detailed speed analysis), and Chrome DevTools (render analysis).
Manual Expert Review
Tools catch data - experience catches meaning. I manually review findings to identify issues that tools flag but don't matter, critical problems that tools miss entirely, and context-specific recommendations for your situation.
Log File Analysis (If Available)
For deeper insights, I can analyse your server log files to see exactly how Googlebot interacts with your site - what it's crawling, how often, and what it's ignoring.
Prioritised Report & Developer Specs
Everything is compiled into two deliverables: Executive Report (PDF) with clear explanation of findings and priorities, and Developer Documentation with technical specifications ready for implementation.

Why My Technical Audit Is Different
I've seen every technical SEO issue imaginable - from simple canonical mistakes to complex JavaScript rendering failures. This experience means faster diagnosis and more accurate recommendations.
With 15 years of web development experience alongside SEO, I understand both sides. My recommendations aren't theoretical - they're practical, implementable, and consider real-world development constraints.
I've applied these technical audit processes to large-scale enterprise websites. The same rigorous methodology now benefits businesses of all sizes.
You won't receive a list of theoretical issues. Every finding comes with specific, prioritised steps to fix it - written so your developers can implement immediately.
