Find every
broken stone.

Technical SEO Audit. The diagnostic that every other SEO service depends on. Crawlability, indexability, Core Web Vitals, schema, internal architecture — examined with surgical rigour, prioritised by commercial impact.

The Thesis

Every other SEO service is built on top of the technical foundation.
Strong foundation: every euro of content and link work compounds.
Weak foundation: every euro leaks out through invisible holes
nobody on the team can quite identify.
Audit the foundation first. Always.

What we actually do

200+ checkpoints. One verdict.

Most "technical SEO audits" are spreadsheet-driven exercises that hand you 400 line items and walk away. Ours is a diagnostic conversation — we examine every layer of the stack, then sit with you to explain what matters now, what matters later, and what doesn't matter at all.

We test what tools can't see: how the site renders for Googlebot's second pass, how internal links actually distribute authority, how your JavaScript framework handles canonical signals, and where international hreflang is silently leaking equity to the wrong region.

What's included.

Every audit covers four pillars. Each pillar is a deep dive — not a checklist tick.

i. Foundation

Crawlability & Indexability

Robots.txt directives, XML sitemaps, canonical tags, redirect chains, orphan pages, crawl budget allocation. The plumbing that decides which of your pages Google sees and which it doesn't.

ii. Performance

Core Web Vitals & Page Speed

LCP, INP, CLS — the three metrics Google now treats as ranking factors. We diagnose root causes (not just symptoms), prioritise fixes by commercial impact, and document the path back to "good."

iii. Markup

Schema & Structured Data

JSON-LD implementation across the entire content estate. The foundation for rich snippets, knowledge panels, AI engine citations, and the indexability of complex content types.

iv. Architecture

Internal Linking & Site Structure

How authority flows through your site. Where it pools. Where it leaks. Where pillar pages need consolidation, where category pages need pruning, and where new internal hubs should be created.

How a technical audit unfolds.

i. Crawl

Map every URL

We crawl the entire site as Googlebot would, then re-crawl as Bingbot, GPTBot and Perplexity's crawler. Different bots, different blind spots.

ii. Diagnose

Find what's broken

Manual technical review on top of automated tools. Tools find symptoms; humans find causes. We document both, then rank by impact.

iii. Prioritise

Quick wins vs. deep fixes

A roadmap with three tiers: 30-day quick wins (low effort, high impact), 90-day structural fixes, and 6-month rebuilds where the technical debt requires it.

iv. Hand-off

Equip your team

A working session with your engineers, with annotated tickets ready to drop into Jira. Or, if you'd rather, our team executes the remediation directly.

Why it matters

Same content. Same links.
Different outcome.

Two sites, identical content, identical link profiles. One is technically clean — the other has thirty subtle issues nobody on the team has time to investigate. Six months later, one has tripled organic traffic. The other is treading water.

The technical foundation isn't the most exciting part of SEO. It's the most determinative. A clean foundation makes every subsequent euro of content, link-building, and brand investment work harder. A broken foundation eats those euros silently.

Featured case · Atelier Vitré

A French luxury homeware brand had spent three years on content. The audit revealed why it wasn't ranking.

Atelier Vitré had invested heavily in editorial content across thirteen markets. Traffic was flat. The audit surfaced a single configuration error in their hreflang implementation that was causing Google to consolidate all thirteen language versions into one. Eighteen months after remediation, organic traffic was up 412% — without changing a word of the content itself.

Read the full case

We had three previous SEO agencies tell us our content was the problem. Revolutionize spent two weeks auditing the technical layer and showed us — in one PDF — exactly which configuration was suppressing rankings across thirteen markets. The fix took our engineers four hours. The results took eighteen months, but the diagnosis took two weeks.

Questions worth asking.

How is your audit different from running Screaming Frog or Ahrefs?+
Tools find symptoms. We find causes. A tool will tell you that 200 URLs return 404 errors. We tell you why those URLs were ever generated, which CMS misconfiguration creates them, and how to prevent the next 200 from appearing. The audit is a senior practitioner's diagnosis on top of everything the tools surface — not a sanitised export of tool output.
How long does an audit take?+
Two to three weeks for a typical mid-size site (1,000-50,000 URLs). Larger e-commerce or news sites can take four to five weeks. The deliverable is the same regardless: a prioritised roadmap, a working session with your team, and a clear answer to "what should we fix first."
Do you fix the issues, or just identify them?+
Either, depending on what you need. Some clients want the diagnosis and execute internally — we provide annotated tickets ready to drop into Jira or Linear. Others want us to remediate alongside their development team, or take ownership of the remediation entirely. The audit fee is the same; remediation is scoped separately.
Can you audit a site in a language we don't speak?+
For technical SEO — yes, comfortably. The technical layer is largely language-agnostic: schema, page speed, crawl behaviour and site architecture work the same in Japanese as in English. For content-related elements (heading structure, internal linking copy, meta descriptions) we work natively in five languages and can collaborate with native specialists in others.
What does an audit cost?+
Audit fees scale with site complexity. A typical mid-size site runs €4,000-8,000. Larger e-commerce, news, or multi-region sites typically run €8,000-15,000. Every engagement starts with a free 30-minute scoping call where we'll quote precisely based on your site, your stack, and the depth of investigation required.
