Is your website holding you back? Are your business details consistent across the web? Is your Google Business Profile working as hard as it could be? Are you showing up where your customers are looking?<\/p>\n<p>An SEO audit answers those questions clearly and honestly, without the jargon.<\/p>\n<h2>What We Look At<\/h2>\n<p>Our audit covers the areas that really move the needle for a local service business. Not an exhaustive technical checklist, but a focused review of the things that actually determine whether customers find you or find your competitors instead.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Your website<\/strong> \u2014 speed, mobile performance, structure, and whether search engines can read it properly<\/li>\n<li><strong>Your Google Business Profile<\/strong> \u2014 completeness, accuracy, and how well it is optimised for local search<\/li>\n<li><strong>Your local listings<\/strong> \u2014 whether your business details are consistent across the directories and platforms that matter<\/li>\n<li><strong>Your content<\/strong> \u2014 whether your website speaks to what your customers are actually searching for<\/li>\n<li><strong>Your online reputation<\/strong> \u2014 reviews, ratings, and how they affect your local search presence<\/li>\n<li><strong>AI search readiness<\/strong> \u2014 how well your online presence is positioned for AI-powered search tools like Google's AI Overviews and ChatGPT<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div class=\"w9-callout-box\"><strong>A word about AI search<\/strong><br \/>AI-powered search tools are changing how some people find information online. The good news for local businesses is that the fundamentals have not changed. Accurate business information, genuine expertise, and a well-structured website are exactly what these tools look for. Our audit covers both traditional and AI search readiness.<\/div>\n<h2>What You Receive<\/h2>\n<p>You receive a clear written report delivered by email, written in plain English with no technical jargon. The report tells you where you currently stand in each area we review, and identifies what is working and what is not.<\/p>\n<p>The audit is a starting point, not a roadmap. It tells you what matters and where you stand. What you do with that information, whether you tackle it yourself or work with us to address it, is entirely up to you.<\/p>\n<h2>Is This Right for You?<\/h2>\n<p>If you are a local business that is not sure how your online presence is performing, or if you have been investing in your website and marketing without seeing the results you expected, an SEO audit is a practical and affordable starting point. It gives you an honest picture of where things stand. That is worth knowing.<\/p>\n<p>Get in touch to book your audit.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":66,"menu_order":1,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-99","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/watershed9.net\/clients\/W9-David\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/99","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/watershed9.net\/clients\/W9-David\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/watershed9.net\/clients\/W9-David\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/watershed9.net\/clients\/W9-David\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/watershed9.net\/clients\/W9-David\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=99"}],"version-history":[{"count":9,"href":"https:\/\/watershed9.net\/clients\/W9-David\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/99\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":348,"href":"https:\/\/watershed9.net\/clients\/W9-David\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/99\/revisions\/348"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/watershed9.net\/clients\/W9-David\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/66"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/watershed9.net\/clients\/W9-David\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=99"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
