Frequently Asked Questions About SEO Audit Services

Whether you're experiencing declining rankings, planning a website migration, or simply want to understand how your website is performing in search, it's natural to have questions. Below you'll find answers about our search engine optimization audit services process, deliverables, timelines, pricing, and how Fratzke helps organizations uncover opportunities that lead to stronger search visibility, qualified traffic, and long-term organic growth.
What is an SEO audit?

An SEO audit is a comprehensive evaluation of your website's ability to rank in search engines and AI-powered search experiences. It identifies technical issues, content gaps, keyword opportunities, and competitive weaknesses while providing a prioritized roadmap to improve visibility, attract qualified traffic, and support business growth.

Why is an SEO audit important?
Without an SEO audit, it's difficult to understand what's limiting your search performance. An audit uncovers hidden technical issues, optimization opportunities, and competitive gaps that can prevent your website from reaching its full organic potential.
What does an SEO audit include?

A comprehensive SEO audit typically includes technical SEO, crawlability and indexing, keyword analysis, content quality, on-page optimization, Core Web Vitals, internal linking, backlink analysis, AI search readiness, competitor benchmarking, and strategic recommendations.

How often should I perform an SEO audit?
Most organizations should complete a comprehensive SEO audit annually, with lighter technical reviews every quarter. You should also perform an audit after a website redesign, migration, significant content changes, or noticeable drops in organic traffic.
How long does an SEO audit take?

The timeline depends on the size and complexity of your website. Most SEO audits are completed within two to four weeks, allowing time for technical analysis, competitive research, and strategic recommendations.

Will an SEO audit improve my rankings?

An audit itself doesn't improve rankings. The improvements come from implementing the recommendations identified during the audit. By addressing high-impact opportunities first, businesses often see meaningful improvements in rankings, traffic, and lead generation over time.

What's the difference between an SEO audit and ongoing SEO services?

An SEO audit provides a one-time assessment and strategic roadmap. Ongoing SEO services focus on implementing recommendations, creating content, monitoring performance, and continuously optimizing your website to maintain and improve rankings.

Do you analyze our competitors?

Yes. Every Fratzke SEO Audit includes competitive benchmarking to understand how your website compares against competitors, identify keyword opportunities, evaluate content gaps, and uncover areas where you can gain a competitive advantage.

Do you review technical SEO?

Absolutely. We evaluate crawlability, indexing, site architecture, redirects, XML sitemaps, structured data, Core Web Vitals, mobile usability, page speed, and other technical factors that influence search performance.

Will you evaluate our content?

Yes. We review your existing content for search intent alignment, keyword targeting, topical authority, content quality, duplication, and opportunities to improve organic visibility through new or optimized content.

Do you analyze backlinks?

Yes. We evaluate your backlink profile to identify authority-building opportunities, potentially harmful links, and gaps compared to competitors that may be impacting your search visibility.

Can you audit enterprise websites?

Yes. Fratzke regularly works with enterprise organizations, multi-location businesses, and complex websites with thousands of pages, multiple business units, or sophisticated digital ecosystems.

Do you optimize for AI search platforms like ChatGPT?

Yes. Our SEO audits include AI Search Readiness, evaluating how your content, authority, structured data, and website architecture support visibility across platforms like ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, Perplexity, Gemini, and other generative search experiences.

What is AI Search Readiness?

AI Search Readiness measures how well your website is positioned to appear in AI-generated answers. We evaluate content quality, entity signals, structured data, topical authority, and other factors that influence AI visibility alongside traditional SEO performance.

Can you implement the recommendations from the audit?

Yes. While many organizations implement the recommendations internally, Fratzke can also serve as your strategic partner to execute technical improvements, content optimization, website enhancements, and ongoing SEO initiatives.

Do you work with WordPress, Webflow, Shopify, and other CMS platforms?

Yes. Our team has experience auditing websites built on WordPress, Webflow, Shopify, HubSpot, Sitecore, Drupal, custom CMS platforms, and enterprise web applications.

Who performs the SEO audit?

Unlike many SEO audit companies that deliver generic reports, Fratzke's SEO audits are led by experienced senior strategists, not automated software or junior analysts. Our multidisciplinary team combines expertise in technical SEO, content strategy, AI search, analytics, and digital marketing to deliver strategic recommendations with real business impact.

How much does an SEO audit cost?

The investment for an SEO audit typically ranges from $5,000 to $20,000, depending on your website's size, complexity, and business objectives. Smaller websites generally require a more focused review, while enterprise organizations, multi-location businesses, ecommerce sites, or websites with thousands of pages require a more comprehensive analysis.

Every Fratzke SEO Audit includes a comprehensive audit report, a prioritized strategic roadmap, and a live executive readout with our senior strategists. After learning more about your website and goals, we'll provide a customized proposal outlining the scope, deliverables, timeline, and investment so you know exactly what to expect before work begins.

What should I look for in an SEO audit company?

Choosing an SEO audit company isn't just about finding technical expertise. It's about finding a strategic partner that understands how search supports business growth.

What will I receive after the audit?

Every Fratzke SEO Audit includes a comprehensive audit report, a prioritized strategic roadmap, and a live executive readout. You'll leave with a clear understanding of your current performance, the highest-impact opportunities, and a practical action plan for improving search visibility.

Should I hire an SEO audit consultant?

An experienced SEO audit consultant can help identify technical issues, content gaps, and strategic opportunities that automated tools often overlook. At Fratzke, every audit is led by senior strategists who combine SEO expertise with broader digital marketing and business experience.

Why choose Fratzke for SEO Audit Services?

Fratzke combines technical SEO expertise with strategic marketing, customer insights, AI search optimization, and business consulting to deliver audits that go beyond generic checklists. Instead of overwhelming you with hundreds of disconnected issues, we prioritize the recommendations that will have the greatest impact on your rankings, qualified traffic, and long-term business growth.

What's Included in Our SEO Audit Services

Every SEO audit includes a comprehensive review of the factors influencing your organic search performance. From technical SEO and content quality to keyword strategy, AI search readiness, and competitive benchmarking, we identify what's limiting growth and deliver a prioritized roadmap with clear recommendations your team can confidently implement.
SEO Technical Audit Service

Technical SEO creates the foundation for every successful organic search strategy. If search engines can't efficiently crawl, understand, and index your website, even your best content will struggle to perform.

Our SEO technical audit service evaluates the health of your website from the ground up. We analyze crawlability, indexing, Core Web Vitals, site architecture, redirects, XML sitemaps, structured data, canonicalization, mobile performance, and rendering to identify the technical issues limiting search visibility. Rather than delivering an overwhelming list of errors, we prioritize the fixes that will have the greatest impact on your organic performance and provide a clear roadmap your development team can confidently implement.

On-Page SEO Audit
Every page should have a clear purpose—for both search engines and your customers. When page structure, content, and search intent are aligned, your website becomes easier to find and more valuable to visitors.

Our On-Page SEO Audit reviews SEO title tags, meta descriptions, headings, internal linking, keyword targeting, schema markup, image optimization, and overall content structure. We identify opportunities to strengthen relevance, improve search visibility, and create a better experience for users while ensuring every priority page is optimized to support your business goals.
Content Audit & Recommendations

Content should do more than fill your website, it should build authority, answer customer questions, and generate qualified traffic.

Our Content Audit evaluates the quality, relevance, and effectiveness of your existing content to uncover opportunities for improvement. We identify outdated pages, content gaps, keyword cannibalization, thin content, and opportunities to strengthen topical authority. The result is a strategic content roadmap that helps your team focus on creating and optimizing the content most likely to drive measurable business results.

Keyword Research & Search Opportunity Analysis
Search behavior changes constantly. New competitors emerge, customer priorities evolve, and yesterday's keyword strategy can quickly become outdated.

Our keyword research identifies the search opportunities most aligned with your business objectives. We evaluate search demand, buyer intent, competition, and current rankings to ensure every priority keyword maps to the right page. Where multiple pages compete for the same opportunity, we'll recommend whether to consolidate, optimize, or reposition content to maximize visibility.
Analytics & Measurement Review

Better SEO starts with better data. Without accurate measurement, it's impossible to know which optimizations are driving meaningful business outcomes.

We review your analytics implementation, conversion tracking, event configuration, attribution, and reporting to ensure your data reflects reality. Whether your goal is ecommerce revenue or qualified lead generation, we'll identify measurement gaps and provide recommendations that give your team greater confidence in every SEO decision.

Backlink & Authority Audit

Search engines evaluate more than your website, they evaluate your reputation across the web.

Our Backlink Audit reviews the quality, relevance, and authority of your backlink profile while identifying opportunities to strengthen your site's credibility. We assess referring domains, anchor text, competitive gaps, and potential risks, then recommend strategies to protect existing authority and earn the links that matter most.

Competitive SEO Analysis

Your biggest SEO competitors aren't always your business competitors. They're the websites winning the searches your customers are performing every day.

Our Competitive Analysis compares your website against the organizations dominating your search landscape. We evaluate keyword coverage, content strategy, authority, technical performance, and search visibility to identify realistic opportunities where your business can outperform the competition.

Website Performance & Security Review

Website performance influences more than rankings, it shapes customer experience, engagement, and conversion.

We evaluate Core Web Vitals, page speed, mobile performance, image optimization, security, HTTPS implementation, and technical performance across your most important page templates. The goal is to create a faster, more reliable experience that supports both users and search engines.

Site Architecture & Information Structure

Great SEO starts with a website that's organized for both users and search engines.

Our architecture review evaluates URL structure, navigation, internal linking, crawl depth, category organization, redirects, and information hierarchy. We identify opportunities to improve how authority flows throughout your website, making it easier for search engines to understand your content and for visitors to find what they need.

User Experience & Conversion Readiness

Driving traffic is only part of the equation. Your website also needs to convert visitors into customers.

Our UX and Conversion Review evaluates landing pages, calls-to-action, forms, navigation, trust signals, mobile usability, and key conversion paths. We identify friction points that may be preventing visitors from taking action and recommend improvements that help transform organic traffic into measurable business growth.

Platform Expertise

Every website platform introduces unique SEO considerations. A successful audit should provide recommendations that fit your technology, not generic best practices.

Whether your website is built on WordPress, Webflow, Shopify, BigCommerce, Magento, WooCommerce, HubSpot, or a custom platform, our team understands the technical nuances that influence SEO performance. We tailor every recommendation to your platform, making implementation faster, more practical, and more effective.

Ecommerce SEO Audit Services

Whether your website is built on Shopify, Magento, WooCommerce, BigCommerce, or another ecommerce platform, our ecommerce SEO audit services evaluate category pages, product pages, faceted navigation, internal linking, structured data, and conversion paths to uncover opportunities for improving organic traffic and online sales.

Deliverables & Strategic Roadmap

An SEO audit should leave your team with confidence, not confusion.

Every Fratzke SEO Audit includes a comprehensive findings report, a prioritized strategic roadmap, and a live executive readout with our senior strategists. We organize recommendations by business impact, implementation effort, and priority so your team knows exactly what to tackle first. Whether you're executing internally or partnering with Fratzke, you'll leave with a clear plan for improving search visibility, increasing qualified traffic, and building long-term organic growth.
