Introduction: Why SEO audits matter
SEO audits for business websites are the foundation of sustainable search visibility. Without regular audits, businesses risk losing rankings, traffic, and opportunities. According to Google’s SEO starter guide, technical health and content optimization are essential to long-term success. Flor-IT ensures that SEO audits are not just technical checklists, but business-driven evaluations that tie directly to growth.
What is an SEO audit?
An SEO audit is a comprehensive evaluation of how well a website is optimized for search engines. It identifies strengths, weaknesses, and opportunities across:
Technical SEO (crawlability, indexation, site speed).
On-page SEO (title tags, meta descriptions, alt texts, content structure).
Content quality (relevance, keyword alignment, duplicate content).
Off-page signals (backlinks, authority, trust).
The goal: uncovering actionable improvements that increase visibility and business impact.
Key elements of an SEO audit
A professional SEO audit should always cover:
Core Web Vitals → user experience and page performance (Google Web Vitals documentation).
Mobile optimization → ensuring usability across devices.
Content analysis → keyword alignment, relevance, and depth.
Backlink profile → identifying opportunities and risks.
Review data → structured snippets using tools like Remarqz to enhance trust and CTR.
