Whether it is a technical problem or an SEO problem on your pages, the Twaino agency can comb through your website and find the source of the difficulties.

Perhaps you have been impacted by a search engine algorithm update. Or maybe you have even been the victim of a Negative SEO attack, orchestrated by a dishonest competitor.

There is only one way to find out: audit your site.

 

Who do we offer our SEO audit services to?

Our SEO audit services are accessible to all companies or people who need them:

• CEO of small or medium business;
• business development managers;
• public relations professionals;
• financial directors;
• marketing specialists;
• web developers;
• craftsmen;
• tradespeople ;
• etc

Whatever your activity, if your wish is to improve your visibility on the Net to acquire more traffic and more customers, the Twaino agency is available to support you, with a structured SEO audit methodology.

During the technical SEO audit, we test several technical aspects of your site to observe its level of accessibility to Internet users. This is also an opportunity to check if the indexing robots can easily crawl your pages.

To do this, we review the site’s server files to trace the history of crawler visits and identify any problems encountered during their visit.

There are several “server” type files:

File .htaccess

This is a configuration file through which we can understand user and search engine behavior on specific pages of your site.

Depending on what was observed in the .htaccess file, we can apply configuration changes, such as creating 301 redirects or custom error messages.

File : robots.txt

Located at the root of your website, the robots.txt file tells search engines what content you want (or not) to be indexed by bots.

Misconfiguration of this file could cause major indexing problems, preventing some of your pages from appearing on Google.

Conversely, an optimization of the robots.txt file increases the chances of seeing your important pages indexed by the search engine.

At Twaino, through the technical SEO audit, we check the status of your robots.txt file, to inform you of any indexing difficulties that could affect the SEO of your site.

Sitemap 

The sitemap can be likened to a kind of map on which crawlers base themselves to crawl your website. It is a plan that prioritizes the pages of a site, from the most important to the least important. It can also serve as a benchmark for visitors to understand the architecture that links the pages.

And you, do you already have a sitemap on your site? If so, is it built according to Google’s recommendations?

At Twaino, our experts can audit your sitemap and adapt it to Google’s requirements, for effective and long-lasting SEO.

And even if you don’t have one yet, we can take care of the management of your sitemap, from its creation to its submission on Google and Bing, including its implementation.

If you are looking for foreign customers, we can also submit your sitemap to the Yandex search engine for better international referencing.

Apart from these server files, the technical SEO audit also analyzes the loading speed of your site, its portability on mobile devices, the bounce rate, etc.

Here is a (non-exhaustive!) list of the points that we usually examine during the technical SEO audit of our clients’ sites:

• exclude pages in the robots.txt file;
• server response codes;
• blocked content;
• sitemap and its submission to the Google Search Console;
• page loading speed;
• site architecture;
• total number of indexed and unindexed pages;
• identification and cause of possible sanctions;
• check for duplicate content;
• canonization;
• responsive design;
• HTML markup issues.

The analysis of all these factors makes it possible to diagnose the technical situation of your site and to propose suitable solutions to increase its performance.

The On-Page SEO audit allows you to study the position of the site on certain keywords for which you are already ranked on Google, as well as the quality of the pages.

This is an important step in the overall SEO audit, since issues found here can prevent a website from being visible in search results.

What is the point for a website to be attractive, if it is not visible to Internet users?

Unfortunately, many websites with flawless design struggle to rank on search engine pages.

The On-Page SEO audit makes it possible to detect the reasons for this type of situation.

 

 

And for this, the On-Page SEO audit takes into account factors such as:

• la structure des URLs et des pages ;
• le contenu des balises title, Hn, meta description, entre autres ;
• la densité et la cannibalisation des mots-clés ;
• l’architecture de l’information ;
• l’expérience utilisateur ;
• l’ergonomie et la navigation ;
• le duplicate content ;
• la qualité et la mise à jour des contenus ;
• etc. 

• the structure of URLs and pages;
• the content of title, Hn, meta description tags, among others;
• keyword density and cannibalization;
• information architecture;
• user experience;
• ergonomics and navigation;
• duplicate content;
• the quality and currency of content;
• etc

All of these factors are analyzed to identify any issues directly related to your web pages that could affect their ranking on Google.

 

Every day, hundreds of thousands of users search Google for services or products that you market. And you? Are you sure that your site is displayed on the first page of Google when a user does this type of search in your area?

If you are unsure, SEO agency Twaino can help boost your local visibility on Google SERPs.

For our clients who run local businesses, we also carry out a local SEO audit, during which we inspect the strengths and weaknesses of their SEO.

For this, we analyze factors such as:

• updating Google My Business, Bing Places and Apple Maps listings;
• geographical consistency in the strategies adopted;
• consumer reviews;
• structured data markup;
• local keyword research;
• configuring local citations (NAP);
• local competition;
• optimization of product sheets;
• etc

The analysis of all these factors allows us to evaluate your local SEO strategy and decide what solution to bring to meet the 3 essential criteria for Google to reference a local business: proximity, relevance and prominence.

 

Without a competitive SEO audit, it would be very difficult for you to be sure that you are offering the best product in your industry. To be a reference in your niche, it is important to know who your opponents are in the market.

Thus, you can compare your products or your services to what is already done around you.

During the competitive SEO audit, our experts identify your biggest opponents on the search results pages. The analysis is pushed to examine the marketing strategies that these competitors use to get ahead of the Google SERPs.

We imitate and improve some of these methods, to obtain something more competitive.

A kind of espionage, to come up with something better. In fact, the competitive SEO audit allows you to identify the limitations and opportunities you may encounter in the market. The data collected is used to distinguish you from other sites.

What is an SEO audit?

An SEO audit is an overall review performed on a website to assess its strengths, opportunities, and issues that could degrade its search engine rankings.

During the SEO audit, the main factors affecting performance are scrutinized, as well as On-page and Off-Page SEO factors.

Depending on the data collected during the SEO audit, recommendations are made to maintain the acquired positioning and refine it for even better results.

Am I entitled to an SEO audit report after your service?

Yes of course. After auditing your site, we send you an analysis report, presented in the “Deliverable” section above.

The report is generally a Google Sheet document, which can be up to twenty pages, depending on the size of the site audited and the comments observed.

In some cases, we attach an audit video to this document, which summarizes the critical issues encountered on your site.

How much does the SEO audit of my site cost?

It is impossible to answer this question without any information, since the price of an SEO audit depends, among other things, on the needs of the client, the nature and the size of the site.

Thus, an SEO audit can last 2 days and result in 10 report pages, while that of another site can exceed a week, with more than 70 report pages.

To charge for an SEO audit, agencies must estimate the number of hours worked. The more a site has a complex technical configuration and presents problems, the higher the cost of the audit will be.

At Twaino, we provide our users with a completely FREE tool to automatically perform an SEO audit of their site, with a report on the different sections that have been analyzed.

However, this tool only generates a summary report of your pages, since it collects its data from free analysis services available on the Net. However, these free services do not have the same precision as paid services.

In addition, we do not provide detailed deliverables to accompany the reports that our tool generates. Because of this, even if you analyze your site with Twaino’s SEO audit solution, it can be difficult to understand the information in the reports. That’s why we also offer a more comprehensive, paid SEO audit with detailed data.

In addition, the paid SEO audit is done manually, to ensure more efficiency in our work and not to miss any details. As we told you, we must take note of your particular case before deciding on the amount of the audit.
