Benefits of a full audit
An in-depth analysis of the organic search channels that your company is using to promote your business will focus on traffic levels, traffic trends over the past few years, approximate budgets, and most importantly organic keywords you rank for. The summary of reasons and factors due to which the competitors have a wider and stronger organic search exposure than your company are assessed, and a list of specific actions that you can take in order to outrank the competitors is discussed, ultimately working to get you more conversions with better targeted business-generating keywords.
A technical audit, more specifically an off-page SEO audit, includes many benefits, such as the identification of critical action items which have to be performed urgently in order to avoid domain penalties and filters, as well as development of a future backlink development strategy which is safe and compliant with all the latest requirements from Google.
