INCLUDED WEBSITE AUDIT SERVICES
We perform audits for websites of all sizes and purposes.
WordPress Websites
As the most popular content management system (CMS), WordPress is used by many to promote their business. When auditing a WordPress website, we check the WordPress core, plugins and theme for any issues. In addition, we also check the health of your site’s hosting environment and security posture.
Ecommerce Websites
The stakes are high for e-commerce websites; if users have a bad experience, then they’re likely to take their business elsewhere. Regular audits can help ensure that all products and services are properly organized, pricing is accurate, and also that the checkout process is optimized and compliant with payment processing regulations.
High-Traffic Websites
Websites that receive a lot of traffic need to be regularly audited to ensure that they can handle the increased bandwidth. Our website audits can help identify any potential bottlenecks so that they can be fixed before they cause major outages or other serious problems.
Healthcare Websites
Healthcare websites must comply with strict federal and state regulations. In addition to verifying compliance, healthcare website audits also check for proper coding of medical procedures and diagnoses, as well as ensuring that patient privacy is protected.
Government Websites
Government websites are subject to strict compliance requirements. In addition to verifying compliance with all applicable laws and regulations, government website audits also check for security vulnerabilities that could put confidential information at risk.
Complex Websites
Websites with complex architectures or a large number of pages are more likely to have problems that are not immediately apparent. As a result, they need to be regularly audited to ensure that all individual elements are working together correctly before they cause serious problems.

Frequently Asked Questions

Search engine optimization (SEO) is the process of increasing a website’s organic ranking in major search engines for a given list of relevant keyword phrases. This is accomplished by a combination of on-site optimization and off-site optimization techniques, including identifying the keyword phrases that are most beneficial to the website; optimizing the website’s meta-tags and page content; and removing barriers to search engine crawlers.
Whether you are building a new site or improving an old one, SEO plays a major role in optimizing your brand’s digital strategy and footprint. By boosting your search engine ranking, you’ll start to see an increase in the quality and quantity of traffic to your site.
You can expect to see results for some keywords starting 4-6 weeks after the final submission. Rankings usually stabilize after about two months. However, SEO is a long-term investment — your traffic rises continuously since more and more search engines index more and more optimized pages of your website. Full results will not be realized until 3-9 months depending on several factors including how strong the competition is in the online market and how new your website is.
It is not possible to guarantee you a particular ranking on any search engine. Google and most other search engines clearly state this on their website.
However, we give your website the best chance to achieve top 10 ranking by performing various on-page and off-page techniques to optimize your website organically. You will also need to invest in a suitable link building program for your website before you see visible improvements in rankings.
Technical SEO is meta information like page titles, meta-descriptions and tags. Technical content has an equal part in affecting our clients’ SEO rankings as blog posts or articles, so we want to maintain this just as we would any other content.
We enhance the website HTML coding, fixing the website search engine incompatibilities and errors, applying right meta tags, adjusting keywords density and positioning, internal link structure, improve website navigation structure and URLs.
