Dual-Surface Technical SEO Audit Offer (10-14 days)
A fixed-scope audit that clears crawl and indexation debt while measuring how the client's site is read by AI crawlers, packaged as a retainer-ready baseline for agencies.
- Read-only access to Google Search Console, server log exports, and the CMS or tag manager; a named client-side owner for engineering sign-off; an agreed list of 3-5 revenue-critical templates or URL groups; a crawl budget agreed in advance (page cap and frequency).
- 1.Kickoff with client engineering and marketing to confirm scope and escalation owners
- 2.Collect GSC, analytics, and 30 days of raw server logs
- 3.Define the revenue-critical URL groups that anchor the audit
- 1.Run a full crawl of the chosen platform against the agreed page cap
- 2.Segment findings by template, status code, and depth
- 3.Flag render-blocking JavaScript on money pages
- 1.Parse server logs for Googlebot and named AI crawler hits
- 2.Compare crawl frequency against page value and conversion data
- 3.Identify orphaned and over-crawled URL patterns
- 1.Check robots.txt and meta directives for accidental blocks on AI user agents
- 2.Test whether primary content renders in raw HTML without JavaScript execution
- 3.Document canonical and hreflang conflicts
- 1.Score indexation coverage against the sitemap and internal link graph
- 2.Quantify duplicate and thin-content clusters by template
- 3.Rank every issue by estimated traffic and revenue exposure
- 1.Draft the prioritized fix list with owner and effort estimate per item
- 2.Separate quick wins (under 2 hours) from structural work
- 3.Review the list with client engineering for feasibility
- 1.Build the AI-crawler accessibility section of the report
- 2.Run a baseline query set across two AI answer engines and record citation gaps
- 3.Note where ranked pages fail to appear in AI answers
- 1.Assemble the client-facing audit deck with before-and-after evidence
- 2.Write the 90-day remediation roadmap with milestone dates
- 3.Prepare a monitoring cadence proposal for the retainer phase
- 1.Present findings to client stakeholders
- 2.Agree which fixes the agency executes and which the client owns
- 3.Lock the monitoring schedule and reporting format
- 1.Hand over the audit package and roadmap
- 2.Set up recurring crawl and log monitoring on the chosen platform
- 3.Schedule the 30-day recheck
Agencies charge for this as a fixed-fee diagnostic because the output is a prioritized, owner-assigned fix list rather than a raw crawl export, and clients pay for the revenue exposure estimate attached to each item. The audit doubles as the entry point to a monitoring retainer, so the first engagement is priced near cost while the recurring crawl and log review carries 55-70% margin. Bundling the AI-crawler section justifies a 20-30% premium over a traditional technical audit without adding proportional delivery hours.
- Prioritized issue register with revenue exposure, owner, and effort per item
- Server log analysis covering Googlebot and named AI crawler behavior
- AI-crawler accessibility scorecard with baseline query results
- 90-day remediation roadmap with milestone dates
- Monitoring configuration and reporting template for the retainer phase
The client has signed off on the prioritized issue register and roadmap, and recurring crawl plus log monitoring is live on the chosen platform with the first recheck scheduled.
