SEO Doctor · Website Check-Up
Everything we check when we audit your website
A full SEO Doctor audit examines your whole online presence — your website, your Google and social profiles, and how you turn up in both Google and the new AI search tools like ChatGPT and Perplexity. Then we hand you a plain-English report and a step-by-step fix list.
Part 1 · For you
A plain-English report
What's working, what's quietly costing you customers, and why it matters — written for a business owner, not a tech manual. No jargon.
Part 2 · For your web person
A step-by-step fix list
Every issue turned into a clear task with how-to steps, so your webmaster or social person knows exactly what to do — no guessing.
The seven areas we check
Search visibility builds on a healthy site; AI visibility builds on both. We look at the whole picture, in the order that actually moves the needle.
Getting found on Google
The foundations that decide whether Google can find, read, and rank you.
- Search engines can reach and file every page
- A working sitemap so nothing gets missed
- Secure (HTTPS) pages, no "not secure" warnings
- One clear web address, not confusing duplicates
- Page titles and the preview text people see in results
- Clear headlines and page structure
- Descriptions on your images
- Behind-the-scenes data that tells Google who you are
Showing up in AI search
Whether ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Gemini, and Google's AI answers find and recommend you.
- The AI search tools are allowed to read your site
- Your content is readable to them, not hidden behind code
- Answer-first content and FAQs the AI can quote
- A consistent identity so AI knows exactly who you are
- Specific, provable facts instead of vague claims
- A baseline of what each AI engine says about you, tracked over time
Speed & mobile
Slow, clunky pages lose customers and rankings — especially on phones.
- How fast your pages load, especially on a phone
- Google's speed and stability scores (Core Web Vitals)
- Whether the site is easy to use on a small screen
- Buttons and text sized so they're easy to tap and read
Your local presence & listings
How you show up in maps, "near me" searches, and business directories.
- Your Google Business Profile, complete and optimized
- The same name, address, and phone everywhere online
- Presence in the directories that matter for your industry
- Bing Places (feeds Microsoft and some AI tools)
- Apple Business Connect (Apple Maps and Siri)
- A page for each town or area you serve
Reputation & reviews
What people see the moment they check you out.
- Your star rating and how fresh your reviews are
- Whether new reviews are coming in steadily
- Whether you're replying to reviews, good and bad
- Whether your best reviews and trust signals are easy to find
Turning visitors into customers
Whether the people who land on your site actually reach out.
- Clear, obvious next steps to call or contact you
- A tap-to-call phone number that's easy to find on a phone
- Working links with no dead ends
- Links that don't send people in circles
- Awards, credentials, and memberships shown where they count
- Search or listings that keep people on your site
Trust, compliance & accessibility
The things that protect you and build confidence.
- Website analytics set up so you can see what's working
- Real privacy and legal pages, no placeholder text
- Advertising claims checked against your industry's rules
- Accessibility for visitors with disabilities (and less legal risk)
- Up-to-date content, no stale years or old information
