Free SEO audit Melbourne — a real report from a developer, not a sales bot.

What does the free SEO audit Melbourne include?

Core Web Vitals (mobile + desktop), indexability check (robots.txt, sitemap, canonical tags, redirect chains), schema and structured data audit, internal linking analysis, content gap check against your top-3 competitors, and a prioritised punch list of what to fix first. You receive a written report (PDF + Loom walkthrough) within one business day. Roughly 90 minutes of senior developer time, gifted to you.

How long does the free SEO audit Melbourne take to deliver?

One business day from URL submission. If you send your URL Monday morning, you have the written report by Tuesday close-of-business. Urgent cases (site recently dropped in rankings, just launched, just migrated) can be turned around the same day — mention it when you submit.

Is the free SEO audit really free? What is the catch?

Genuinely free. No credit card, no follow-up call required, no “intro offer” pricing waiting at the end. The catch (such as it is): if the audit identifies fixes worth doing, you have the option to engage us on a fixed-price Improvement Sprint from $1,500. Most audits identify 2-4 weeks of focused work. About 30% of audit recipients end up engaging us. The other 70% take the report and act on it themselves — that is a fine outcome too.

Do you audit sites built by other developers or agencies?

Yes. About 80% of audits we do are on sites built elsewhere. We treat the existing site as the source of truth, audit objectively, and never use the audit as ammunition against the previous developer. If the site is well-built, the report will say so.

What is the difference between the free SEO audit and a paid Improvement Sprint?

The audit identifies what to fix; the sprint actually fixes it. Audit = 90-minute analysis + written report. Sprint = 1-2 weeks of focused work executing the highest-impact fixes from the audit, with a clear before/after measurement at the end. Both are fixed-scope, fixed-price — no hourly meter.

Do you do ongoing SEO work after the audit?

Yes, via our Care Plans from $2,400/month. The care plan covers ongoing technical SEO (sitemap maintenance, schema upkeep, broken-link patching, Core Web Vitals monitoring) but not content marketing or paid ads — those are better handled by a specialist marketing agency. We focus on the developer-side of SEO.

What tools and software do you use for the audit?

Google PageSpeed Insights and Lighthouse for Core Web Vitals, Google Search Console for indexability and query data (you can grant access or we work from your existing reports), Screaming Frog for crawl analysis, Rank Math or Yoast for schema validation, Ahrefs or Semrush for competitor content gaps. The report is built in plain English — no “you scored 73” with no context.
