How An SEO & Technical Audit Can Help Your SiteImage of a folder and tools

Whenever I hear the phrase “SEO Technical Audit,” I immediately question what a client specifically hopes to accomplish. This can be a confusing term that gets caught up as a buzz word.

An SEO Audit, to me, occurs when a client would like to improve their on-page factors, run a competitor audit, perform a gap analysis, gather a list of backlinks and correct all of the low-hanging fruit they can on each page.

A Technical Audit is a bit more in-depth. This occurs when a client would like to audit their load time, CMS, CDN or anything relating to coding.
