Technical Site Audit / Website Assessment

Jody Nimetz Co. provides Technical SEO Audits and website assessments for small, medium and Enterprise level businesses.  Wondering how well (or not) that your site is performing in Google and search engines?  I have been conducting site audits since 2002.  I have performed Audits on some of the largest brands in the world and have helped shaped their digital marketing strategies based on findings from their SEO Audits.

Why Does My Site Need a Technical Audit?

Depending on the age of your website, and on how well your site is performing in organic search, you should be conducting a technical audit of your site every twelve the eighteen months.  The reason for this is to ensure both technical and SEO compliance.  Failure to follow Google’s Guidelines can mean that your brand loses visibility in the organic search results, resulting in decreases in your website traffic.  A decline in traffic can lead to a decline in conversions and as a result a decline in revenue.  Nobody wants that, especially knowing how competitive the Search Results can be.  It can be difficult to regain your position within the organic search results of Google and other search engines.

Conducting a technical website audit can identify issues with your site that may be preventing your website from having the visibility it should in Search.


Benefits of a Technical Site Audit / Website Assessment

There are a number of benefits of conducting a technical audit on your website.  The main benefit is to ensure technical compliance so that your website can be crawled, indexed and ranked by Search Engines.  The Search Engines continue to update their algorithms and as a result you want to ensure that your website is following technical and SEO best practices.  Some of the key benefits of conducting a Technical Audit include:

  • Identification of crawl and indexation issues

Core parts of the Technical Audit that we will review:
