AUDIT SYSTEM v4 · 80+ CHECKPOINTS
A proprietary 80+ checkpoint audit system that scores every technical issue by revenue impact, then builds a prioritized remediation plan your team can execute immediately.
You can produce great content. You can build links. You can optimize page titles until they’re perfect. None of it matters if Google can’t crawl, interpret, and index your pages reliably. Technical SEO is the foundation every other SEO effort is built on. When it’s broken, everything above it is compromised.
The issue isn’t that businesses don’t know technical SEO matters. It’s that most audits produce a list of problems without prioritization, without a remediation roadmap, and without verification that fixes actually worked. The result is a cycle of audits that produce reports nobody fully acts on.
After 25 years of hands-on technical SEO work across enterprise e-commerce sites, local service businesses, and international platforms, I built a scoring system designed to solve exactly that problem. Every issue gets scored. Every fix gets prioritized. And every remediation gets verified.
Most technical audits are binary. An issue either exists or it doesn’t. That approach treats a missing alt tag the same as a crawl block, which is how businesses end up spending time on cosmetic fixes while revenue-impacting problems stay unresolved.
My scoring system works differently. Every site receives a 0-to-100 score across 80+ checkpoints grouped into six impact categories: crawlability and indexation, site architecture, page performance, structured data, on-page technical signals, and mobile and Core Web Vitals compliance. Each checkpoint is weighted by its actual impact on rankings and organic traffic.
The score gives you a single number that tells you where you stand. The breakdown tells you exactly where to focus first to move that number the most, in the shortest time, with the resources you have.
Every layer of a site’s health. Not a surface-level check: the infrastructure, the crawl logic, the rendering behavior, and the signals Google uses to decide which pages to rank.
Google can only rank pages it can find and index. Crawl budget waste, blocked resources, noindex directives applied to the wrong pages, and sitemap errors silently kill organic visibility. The audit identifies exactly which pages are being crawled, which are being ignored, and what is causing the gap between the two.
Robots.txt, XML sitemap quality, canonical implementation, pagination handling, and redirect chain depth all fall under this category. A site with poor crawl configuration is hiding pages from Google, even when those pages have strong content.
How a site is structured determines how PageRank flows through it. Money pages that receive no internal links from supporting content are competing with a fraction of the authority they should have. Orphan pages, shallow link depth for key landing pages, and diluted anchor text suppress rankings on otherwise strong pages.
The audit maps your internal link structure and identifies which pages are losing equity and which should be receiving more. The remediation plan restructures internal links to push authority where it has the highest conversion value.
Google’s Core Web Vitals (Largest Contentful Paint, Interaction to Next Paint, and Cumulative Layout Shift) are confirmed ranking factors. Beyond rankings, poor CWV signals directly hurt conversion: a page that loads slowly or shifts during load loses users before they read a single word.
The audit measures LCP, INP, and CLS against current thresholds and identifies the specific assets and scripts causing failures. Server response, image optimization, render-blocking JavaScript, and third-party script order are all examined. Recommendations are developer-ready, with specific file names and implementation guidance.
Schema communicates directly to Google what your content is about, who created it, and how it should appear in results. Correct schema produces rich results: star ratings, FAQ dropdowns, breadcrumbs, prices. Each increases click-through rate from the same ranking position.
The audit checks existing schema for validity and completeness, identifies pages where schema is missing entirely, and produces deployment-ready JSON-LD for every applicable type: Article, FAQ, HowTo, Service, LocalBusiness, Person, BreadcrumbList, and more.
Title tags, meta descriptions, H1s, heading hierarchy, canonical tags, hreflang for multi-regional sites, and Open Graph tags all carry technical SEO weight. Duplicate titles confuse Google about which page to rank. Missing canonicals create index duplication. Malformed hreflang causes international targeting failures.
The audit surfaces every on-page technical issue across the full site, not just a sample. For large sites, issues are grouped by template so a single fix resolves hundreds of pages at once instead of requiring page-by-page corrections.
An audit without a remediation plan is an expensive to-do list. Every engagement includes a prioritized remediation system, not just a document of findings. Your team always knows what to do first and why.
For each issue, the remediation document includes the specific problem, the exact fix with implementation guidance your developer can follow without interpretation, and the expected impact once resolved. Nothing is left as “this might help.” Everything is specific.
The standard technical audit is a spreadsheet of tool-flagged issues with no prioritization, no context, and no verification. Fine as an overview. Useless as an action plan.
Tools surface data. Judgment interprets what it means for your site specifically. Every issue is reviewed by a senior strategist before it reaches the report.
The AI-integrated workflow delivers a full audit in 48 hours. Senior-level analysis at a pace that used to be impossible.
After implementation, a verification re-crawl confirms fixes are working as intended and the score has moved. The loop closes, or the work continues.
Site migrations are the highest-risk technical SEO event a business can go through. A domain change, CMS switch, URL restructure, or HTTPS migration done without a proper SEO architecture plan can drop organic traffic by 50% or more in weeks. Recovery from a bad migration takes months.
Technical SEO is not just for large sites. A 20-page service business site can have crawl issues just as damaging as an enterprise platform with 200,000 pages. If your site publishes content that should rank and doesn’t, a technical problem is likely suppressing it.
