Website Audits for UX, SEO, and Performance

A comprehensive website audit typically takes 5-10 business days from start to delivery. This includes thorough analysis across UX/UI, SEO (technical and on-page), content quality, performance metrics, accessibility, and security. The timeline varies based on site size and complexity - small business sites (10-20 pages) may be completed in 5 days, while large e-commerce sites or complex web applications (100+ pages) can take up to 2 weeks for a thorough evaluation.

To conduct a thorough audit, we need access to your website analytics (Google Analytics or similar), Google Search Console, current hosting details, CMS login credentials (if applicable), any existing performance or SEO reports, information about your target audience and business goals, and details about known issues or concerns. We provide a detailed checklist during onboarding to ensure we gather everything needed for a comprehensive evaluation.

No, website audits are completely non-invasive. We analyze your existing site without making any changes to the live environment. Our audit process involves reviewing code, analyzing performance metrics, testing user flows, evaluating SEO factors, and assessing accessibility - all without touching your production site. If we need to run performance tests that could impact server load, we schedule these during low-traffic periods and notify you in advance.

While we use industry-leading automated tools for data collection, our audits go far beyond what automated scanners provide. We combine automated analysis with expert human evaluation across UX, conversion optimization, brand alignment, competitive positioning, and strategic recommendations. Automated tools might flag technical issues, but they cannot evaluate whether your messaging resonates, your user flows make sense, or your design builds trust. We provide context, prioritization, and strategic guidance that tools alone cannot deliver.

We provide comprehensive, prioritized recommendations for every issue identified. Our audit reports include specific, actionable fixes with clear implementation guidance, estimated impact ratings (high/medium/low), effort estimates for each recommendation, suggested prioritization based on ROI potential, and step-by-step instructions for implementing changes. We do not just tell you what is wrong - we tell you exactly how to fix it and why it matters.

Absolutely! While audit reports include detailed DIY implementation guidance, we also offer implementation support services. This can range from consulting and oversight as your team makes changes, to hands-on implementation where we execute the fixes directly. Many clients start with an audit, review recommendations with their team, and then engage us to handle high-priority items that require specialized expertise. We provide custom implementation proposals based on your audit results and internal capabilities.

We recommend comprehensive audits annually for most businesses, with quarterly audits for rapidly evolving sites or competitive industries. Major triggers for additional audits include website redesigns or migrations, significant traffic or conversion rate drops, major algorithm updates from Google, launching new products or entering new markets, and significant changes to your industry or competitive landscape. Regular audits ensure you catch issues early and continuously optimize performance.

You receive a comprehensive audit package including a detailed written report (typically 40-80 pages) covering all findings, an executive summary highlighting critical issues and top opportunities, annotated screenshots showing specific issues and recommended changes, prioritized roadmap with quick wins and strategic initiatives, spreadsheet tracking all issues with status and priority, video walkthrough explaining key findings, and a 90-minute presentation and Q&A session with our team. All deliverables are yours to keep and share with your team.

Yes, we evaluate both mobile and desktop experiences as distinct but related aspects of your site. With mobile traffic often exceeding 60% for many businesses, we pay special attention to mobile UX, performance, and usability. Our audits include mobile-specific assessments of touch targets and navigation, page speed on mobile networks, responsive design implementation, mobile-first indexing factors, and app-like features (PWA capabilities). We identify issues that only appear on mobile devices and opportunities to improve mobile conversion rates.

Website audit pricing varies based on site size, complexity, and audit scope. Basic audits for small business sites (10-30 pages) typically start at $2,500-$4,000. Standard audits for medium-sized sites (30-100 pages) range from $5,000-$8,000. Comprehensive enterprise audits for large sites (100+ pages) or complex applications range from $10,000-$20,000+. We provide custom quotes after a brief discovery call to understand your specific needs and goals. All audits include detailed findings, prioritized recommendations, and implementation guidance.
