How the audit works

An SEO audit is not a crawl dump. A crawl tool produces 400 issues sorted by its own severity guess; that is a data export. An audit is a judgement: where the site stands, what is costing the most, and the order to fix it — with a number, so next month can be compared to this month.

Technical18%Indexability, crawl access, sitemaps, robots.txt, status codes, redirects, HTTPS, Core Web Vitals, mobile rendering.
On-Page & Schema16%Titles, H1s, meta descriptions, internal linking, JSON-LD structured data, canonicals.
Content & Keywords18%Coverage of the money terms, depth on service and category pages, cannibalisation, thin pages.
Authority14%Referring domains, link quality and growth, brand mentions, Domain Rating trend.
Local12%Google Business Profile completeness, NAP consistency, local pack presence, reviews, location pages.
AI Search Readiness12%Whether AI crawlers are allowed at all, entity clarity, schema an LLM can parse, citability, Knowledge Panel presence.
Conversion10%Does the traffic have somewhere to go — offer clarity, forms, calls, and tracking that proves it.
Every finding names a URL. If a component scores 55, you can open the four things that made it 55. Anything not checked is reported as UNKNOWN, never as zero — a component scored zero because nobody looked reads exactly like a component scored zero because the site is broken, and a client cannot tell those apart.
Pass = 80 on a personal-brand / entity home. “Better than last time” is a delta, not a pass. Brand Authority (ten /10 rows) is a different exam — never average the two totals. Quick Audit is GBP-first local service, not this rubric. Operator map: blitzmetrics.com/how-we-audit/. Local 12% on a person-site with no GBP is the entity overlay (same name/role/URL), not a missing plumber profile.
AI Search Readiness is the component most sites fail worst and know least about. It starts with one file. One client was blocking 40+ AI and image crawlers — GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot, Google-Extended, Applebot-Extended — in robots.txt while paying for content marketing. Invisible to every AI assistant their buyers were asking, and nobody had opened the file.
