SEO Audit Services

Carrying out a full SEO audit ensures your website is built on solid foundations. From technical SEO excellence through to full off-page and content planning, our SEO audit services ensure your business is well set up to reach its organic potential.

Complete On-and-Off-Page SEO Audit Services

Our technical SEO specialists will work hands-on with your developers and other technical stakeholders, where required, to contextualise and implement recommendations to your site, allowing for minimal friction when it comes to deploying any changes. But our SEO audit services don’t start and end with technical advice.

Having an optimal on-page SEO setup and a coherent, user-centric content strategy are both crucial components in driving organic ranking growth, as is the presence of an off-page plan to earn top-tier backlinks. At ICS-digital, we provide complete audit services that span all aspects of technical, on-page and off-page SEO.

Get in touch with our team of experts for our initial view on how your website could benefit from our SEO audit services.

Our SEO Audit Agency Approach

As an award-winning SEO agency, our proven SEO strategies are based on a combination of technology, data, and human expertise.

Backlink Audit & Strategy

As part of our link building service, we audit your entire link profile from top to bottom. Each audit targets broken backlinks, those that search engines might define as low-quality or not relevant and areas for improvement.

After identifying and eradicating weaknesses in your link profile, we turn our attention to strengths, competitor insights and future growth. 

Our goal is to build on previous progress or, if starting afresh, create a solid foundation from which we can launch an effective, quality-driven link building strategy.

Manual Link Building Outreach Service

Our experts have long-term relationships with over 12,000 publishers around the world. These relationships allow us to secure links on high-authority websites spanning a host of industries. Our teams are in constant dialogue with publishers to achieve the best placements and value for clients - and we’re adding new relationships every day.

Quality Content and Quality Backlinks 

Every link in every strategy is coupled with high quality content that adds value for publishers and our clients. Our 300+ writers are experts in their fields, enabling us to manage SEO campaigns at global scale - quantity and quality combined.

These link building articles are integral to our off-page SEO service but we also carry out millions of words of human copywriting, editing, design and translation for content projects more generally if bespoke content is part of your wider SEO plans.

Results & Reporting

A link building strategy is only as good as its results. 

Regular audits and strategy reviews are part of our link building service alongside performance reports, sector updates, trend forecasts and (of course) respond to client feedback and changes of strategy.

We measure and manage all aspects of SEO performance and with the diversity and depth of our thousands of publisher relationships and tenacious SEO experts, we’re able to adapt, accelerate and advance campaigns to maximise opportunities.

The Importance of Regular SEO Audits

An SEO audit is an essential step in optimising your website for search engines and enhancing its overall performance.

Over time, your site could suffer from a number of hidden issues that hinder your website's ability to perform in search. A technical SEO audit helps uncover these.

Some of the more serious errors can include broken links, slow loading times, improper redirects and indexing issues. By identifying and eliminating these problems, you ensure that search engines can easily crawl and index your site, which is crucial for maintaining - and ultimately improving - your rankings.

Many businesses make the mistake of carrying out an SEO audit once, and assuming they’ll face no further problems. But, think of an audit as being like an MOT for your car; to stay road-worthy, it needs a regular checkup to make sure every component is still performing as it should - and the same is true for websites.

Digital PR and Earning Backlinks

A blended link building strategy benefits from multiple methodologies, particularly in the age of AI where authenticity, expertise and relevance are critical. From our analysis, at least 45% of brands in the competitive sectors we specialise in also carry out digital PR to earn media coverage, brand visibility and links.

Digital PR Agency Services

As part of our complete SEO service, we offer link earning through digital PR campaigns. This involves developing high-quality content campaigns that are outreached via press releases, phone, social media and news wires to earn the attention of journalists, news outlets, and media agencies. In tandem with a traditional link building strategy, the right digital PR can significantly improve rankings, capture direct traffic and create an authoritative backlink profile that competitors simply cannot match

A Network of Niches: Industries We Build Links In

For clients who want ultimate flexibility with no minimum investment, we provide access to our on-demand link marketplace. Here’s a snapshot of just a few niches we build links for:

iGaming

iGaming, was one of the first industries we made our mark in.

Our finance link building services cover all niches from trading, investments, crypto and forex to banking, loans and consumer finance more generally. Our experts ensure our B2B and B2C marketing agency services, including link building, comply with all financial regulations while earning relevant rankings.

Health, Wellness and Supplements

A hyper-competitive sector, rankings in health can be hard to earn and hard to maintain - if not backed by authoritative content and fresh links that reconfirm brand authority. The right link building strategy in this sector depends on strong backlinks, exceptional content - written by medical professionals in some cases - and an SEO strategy that fully understands the intent behind user queries.

Travel and Tourism

Travel firms need to be competitive in SEO to earn bookings - and a strong link building strategy is part of that. With team experience covering with travel agents, aggregators and comparison sites as well as car rentals, cruise lines, hotel groups and airlines, we help travel marketers identify and act on link building opportunities to boost PAX.

What are Core Web Vitals?

Core Web Vitals are an indication of real-user experience, which Google uses as a parameter to evaluate web pages on desktop and mobile. There are certain criteria that Google will assess against to determine whether your performance passes the Core Web Vitals assessment

Metric weightings are chosen to provide a balanced representation of the user’s perception of performance. LCP (largest contentful paint), CLS (cumulative layout shift) and INP (interaction to next paint) are currently considered the most important metrics which measure page loading speed, visual stability and interactivity. 

There are three possible rankings which are self-explanatory: poor, to improve or good. A page will pass the assessment if it meets the recommended targets at the 75th percentile for all of the above three metrics.

All website owners should aim for good CWV metrics and scores, along with other UX best practices that Google Search uses to reward high-performing sites, such as mobile accessibility, ease of navigation and serving pages securely. 

At ICS-digital, we’re trusted by industry heavyweights across many different sectors to optimise their website performance, UX and accessibility. Our technical SEO audit services are a critical first step in addressing any related issues your site may be having.

The Importance of Regular SEO Audits

An SEO audit is an essential step in optimising your website for search engines and enhancing its overall performance.

Over time, your site could suffer from a number of hidden issues that hinder your website's ability to perform in search. A technical SEO audit helps uncover these.

Some of the more serious errors can include broken links, slow loading times, improper redirects and indexing issues. By identifying and eliminating these problems, you ensure that search engines can easily crawl and index your site, which is crucial for maintaining - and ultimately improving - your rankings.

Many businesses make the mistake of carrying out an SEO audit once, and assuming they’ll face no further problems. But, think of an audit as being like an MOT for your car; to stay road-worthy, it needs a regular checkup to make sure every component is still performing as it should - and the same is true for websites.

Our SEO Audit Agency Approach

By undertaking a full site review, we’re able to discover - and resolve - key technical SEO blockers, while ensuring you’re fulfilling best practices when it comes to usability (UX/UI) and accessibility. 

Employing an expert agency to carry out a periodic SEO audit ensures that your website is structured, accessible, and optimised for search engine crawlers - while delivering on key user experience aspects, such as compliance with Google’s Core Web Vitals.

Our process starts with a full crawl of your website using industry-leading tools such as Screaming Frog and Sitebulb, collecting data (in the same manner as search engine bots) that will be at the heart of our recommendations.

Once all data has been collected, it’s then analysed to identify common themes across your website as well as page-specific problems. We diagnose the errors and issues that require urgent attention, as well as adherence to other best practices that may be considered ‘nice to haves’.

Technical SEO Audit Service Deliverables

No two websites are the same, and therefore, neither are any two SEO audits. Rather than simply providing you with a templated list of diagnostics, our technical SEO and UX experts create bespoke audits focused on identifying - but crucially, coming up with a practical plan to fix - the issues that matter most to your site.

Typical deliverables include full analysis and recommendations in the following areas:

  • Robots.txt file, XML sitemap & overall indexation: To identify any barriers to Google being able to crawl, understand and ultimately serve your site in search results..
  • Site loading speed and mobile-friendliness: To ensure the site is served to visitors quickly and correctly.
  • Broken pages: To ensure no longer needed pages don’t lead users and/or search engines to dead paths.
  • Redirections: To ensure that when pages are no longer needed their authority is retained correctly.
  • Canonicalisation and cannibalisation: To ensure that the most important pages are prioritised by Google.
  • Internal links: To make sure search engines and site visitors can effectively move within the site.
  • Hreflang attributes: To serve the appropriate content to each country’s audience, in the case of international websites.
  • Images and media: To ensure the site is also visually descriptive.
  • Schema markup: To make sure site information is easily processed by search engines with the potential to claim ‘featured snippets’ in organic results.
