Want our free SEO audit checklist for your Mobile, Alabama, business?
The items below can be used for your Mobile Bay company (or in any location, for that matter).
Here you go…
Check Google Indexing
- Search “site:yourwebsite.com” in Google to see indexed pages.
SSL Certificate Confirmation
- Ensure there’s a padlock in the browser, indicating HTTPS.
If not, you need an SSL certificate. Your web host can help with this.
Run a Site Audit
- Use tools like Ahrefs, SEObility, or Ubersuggest.
(I currently use Ubersuggest, but any of these will work!) - Crawl your website for a report and fix items like…
- Address title tags, meta descriptions, and redirects.
- Add alt tags to images and check their sizes.
- Manage backlinks and remove spammy ones.
- Broken links (use GSC or a tool like this) and images.
(This is especially important to monitor as time marches on).
Confirm No Website Duplication
Visitors to your site should only be able to access it at one of these addresses:
Also check http: version — that’s not secure (and you need an SSL certificate)
Any of the options that you choose above should all redirect to a single version of your https site.
Review Site Traffic – Determine Drops
- Google constantly has updates going on.
- Is the competition beating you? Have a look!
Internal Linking and Popular Pages
- Link to your most popular pages.
- Review internal links and avoid orphaned posts (ones that get left all alone with no other content linking to it… if you have lots of content, Link Whisper is a nice plugin that can help with this issue – we use this plugin…)
Implement Schema Markup
- Create structured data for Google (your SEO plugin will assist with this).
Sitemap Verification
- Check for a sitemap, like mine here.
Site Structure Analysis
- Ensure all pages are within three clicks (this is a great goal and is ours).
- Strategize internal linking to top performing pages.
Check for Manual Actions
- Use Google Search Console for alerts.
I check Google Search Console as much (if not more) than Google Analytics.
Review Robots.txt File
- Check “domain/robots.txt”, like at Robots.txt File.
Mobile-Friendly Test
- Find issues with Google Search Console.
Additional Checks
- Organize URL structure logically.
Look at your URL hierarchy — Homepage > children > boys > shoes — make sure it’s easy to follow. - Analyze performance with Google PageSpeed.
You can use other tools like Pingdom to get a second opinion.
After the Audit, Move to Keyword Research
- Understand the Customer Journey.
- Use Google Trends.
- Check Competitors
- Find Keyword Gaps
Boom, you’re off to the races!
