Importance of an SEO Audit


 An SEO strategy cannot be implemented if it is not thought out as closely as possible to the needs and means of the website to be optimized. There is no ready-made recipe for being first on the search engines. Indeed, knowledge of this website, its architecture, its content, its visitors and its competition are the key factors of effective SEO.

What is an SEO audit?

An SEO audit is an in-depth analysis that identifies the strengths and weaknesses of a website in terms of natural referencing in order to provide direct and effective solutions.

It is essential to analyze a site as a whole, whether in terms of its keywords, its technical structure, its on-site characteristics (notably content audit) and off-site (backlinks audit) but also of its competition.

The SEO audit allows you to sift through a large amount of information to quickly highlight the main areas for improvement and an effective SEO strategy.

When to do an SEO audit?

In the creation phase

The SEO audit is an excellent way to understand the creation of your website: it allows you to prepare the ground by laying a healthy foundation to start an effective natural referencing.

Made upstream of the site's design, these recommendations are essential to the creation of a “seo-friendly” site. Optimizations are directly implemented throughout the creation of the website until it goes online.

In the first SEO optimization phase

This is to intervene on an existing site that has not yet received SEO optimization. The SEO audit is then essential to remove the blocking technical factors, which then allows all SEO optimizations to be carried out:

  • Off-page optimizations (i.e. elements that the Internet user does not see in the body of the page), such as: the key elements of the <head>, the names of the published files, the control of the duplicate content, site speed, URL structure, sitemap ...
  • On-page optimizations (i.e. all the elements visible to the Internet user on the page, contained in the <body>): highlighting, the hierarchy of tags, textual content, images, etc.

In SEO re-optimization phase

The SEO audit can also be carried out on a site that has already benefited from one or more technical or semantic optimizations. The purpose of the audit here is to make the most of what already exists in order to further develop the strengths and improve the weaknesses detected.

How is the realization of an SEO audit structured?

First of all, it is necessary to determine the context of the analyzed site : page volume, architecture, technical base, history, popularity, editorial content… this is what is called a site pre-audit.

Next, you have to determine the demand: what are your needs? Improve performance? Fixed a Google penalty? Remedy a drop in positioning of strategic keywords? Optimizations to remedy a drop in traffic?

Then, it is necessary to set SEO objectives: in terms of traffic, visibility against the competition (and be proactive in the face of algorithm changes), turnover or conversions.
