How much does a technical SEO audit cost?

It depends mostly on the size of the site and how it’s built. We’ll quote a fixed price after a first look at your site, before any work starts.

Do you fix the problems you find?

If you’d like. The audit stands on its own, so your developer can follow it. We can also quote for the fixes separately.

Will an audit improve my rankings?

An audit finds problems, and the fixes are what can help. Some sites improve quickly after a serious problem is fixed, and others have no technical problem at all. We can’t guarantee rankings.

Technical SEO audit

A technical SEO audit that ends in a list you can act on.

A PageSimple technical SEO audit checks whether search engines can crawl, render and index your website, then ranks each problem by what it’s likely to cost you. You get a plain list of fixes that your own developer can follow, or that we can carry out. The price is quoted after we’ve seen the size of your site.

What does a technical SEO audit check?

Your quote lists exactly what we’ll do. Depending on your site, the work covers:

Crawling

Robots rules, sitemaps, broken links, redirect chains and pages that search engines can’t reach.

Indexing

Which pages Google has indexed, which it has dropped, and why, including canonical and noindex tags.

Rendering

Whether your content is in the HTML or only appears after JavaScript runs.

Speed and mobile

Core Web Vitals, heavy images and layouts that break on a phone.

Structured data and metadata

Missing or duplicate titles and descriptions, and schema that doesn’t match the page.

AI search access

Whether crawlers used by AI search products are allowed in, each checked separately.

When should you get a technical SEO audit?

When traffic drops and you don’t know why, before or after a redesign or a platform move, or when you’ve inherited a site nobody has checked in years.

An audit is also worth having before you pay for monthly SEO, since content work can’t do much on a site search engines struggle to read.

A small, healthy site may need only a quick check. If that’s what we find when we look, we’ll tell you before you pay for a full audit.
