How We Go About Collecting Data and Identifying Issues
At Rankwell, we believe in the importance of a comprehensive SEO audit.
That’s why our auditing process takes 24 – 48 hrs to collect and assess all of the data relevant to your website’s SEO.
We start by gathering the data necessary to understand what elements the website has, and how it is performing.
This involves crawling the site to understand how content is presented and indexed, analysing the website’s backlinks, and collecting website analytics and search engine results. We also assess the current keyword usage in the content, and other aspects of the website, such as title tags, metatags and site structure.
This task is mostly carried out using cutting edge SEO software – but that is not the end of the process

You get our personalised genuine recommedations. We tell you waht we would do if we owned your website, not some cookie cutter script.
Our process provides you with a clear understanding of how your website is currently performing, and the practical steps to improve it.
Some of the areas we examine are:
1. Analyzing Your Content and Structure
When it comes to SEO and website optimisation, content and structure are two of the most important factors. We will take an in-depth look at your content and structure to identify any potential issues that could be hurting your website’s SEO.
Content is arguably the most crucial part of SEO, as it’s what search engines use to determine the relevancy of your website and its pages.
We’ll look at your content quality and quantity, ensuring that it’s actually useful to readers and contains the right keywords.
Your website’s structure is equally important for SEO. We’ll look at the structure of your site in terms of organization and navigation, assessing whether you have the right internal links and clickable elements in place. We’ll also examine the structure of your URLs, making sure that they’re properly formatted and search engine friendly.
By completing a detailed analysis of your content and structure, the experienced team from Rankwell SEO can help you uncover any potential issues that could be affecting your website’s SEO performance.
With a better understanding of what’s causing your website’s rankings to suffer, you can further refine your SEO strategy to reach the heights of success that you deserve.
2. Examining Your Technical Infrastructure
A Rankwell SEO audit, will also inspect your website’s technical infrastructure to uncover any SEO issues that might be preventing you from achieving the desired search engine rankings.
Every website will have different issues, but here are some of the main areas a Rankwell SEO audit will look into:
- Website & URL Structure: Our SEO professionals will analyze the internal linking structure of your website to identify any potential problems and ensure that your website’s internal links are all pointing to the right pages.
- Mobile Optimization: Optimizing your website for mobile is now a must and an SEO audit will highlight any issues with your website’s mobile-friendliness that might be preventing you from achieving higher search engine rankings.
- Mobile Usability: It’s not enough to have a mobile-friendly website. Your website must also be easy to use and navigate on mobile devices. An SEO audit will identify usability issues that could be impacting your search engine rankings.
- Site Security & Speed: A secure and fast website is essential for good SEO. An SEO audit will make sure your site is running at peak performance and identify any security issues that might be preventing you from achieving higher rankings in the search engines.
- Robots.txt & Sitemap.xml: No SEO audit would be complete without examining robots.txt and sitemap.xml to ensure your website is properly indexed by the search engines.
These are just a few of the areas our SEO audit will examine.
By uncovering potential areas of improvement with your website’s technical infrastructure, an SEO audit can help you to gain an edge over your competitors in the search results.
3. Looking at Your Off-Page Factors
An SEO audit from Rankwell is also essential for identifying and understanding your website’s off-page factors.
