SEO Audit

Running an audit is the first step of a SEO project because it helps to identify issues that prevent your website to rank high. An audit helps to define a long-term strategy to improve your pages, for Google, and your visitors.

Our analysis lead to recommendations that will be prioritised to identify the quick-wins and the long-term evolutions that will be necessary to make your pages better than the ones that rank for the keywords that you target.

An audit is probably the most important document you can have from your SEO agency and Get Clicks uses advanced tools and techniques to deliver actionable recommendations that can be easily spread across your team.
