What a Slide Grow audit covers
We work through crawlability, indexation, rendering, speed and structure, then rank every finding by traffic impact against implementation effort so you know what to ship first.
- Log file analysis to see what Googlebot actually crawls
- Core Web Vitals diagnosis at template level, not just page level
- Index bloat, thin pages and faceted navigation cleanup
- Schema markup for organisation, product, article, FAQ and breadcrumbs
- Internal linking and site architecture restructuring
- JavaScript rendering checks and hydration issues
- Canonical tags, redirect chains and hreflang for multi-region sites
- Migration planning and post-migration recovery
The numbers
What we look at and why it matters
Priority is our default ordering. Yours may differ if a migration or a launch is imminent.
| Area | Common finding | Impact if fixed | Priority |
|---|---|---|---|
| Indexation | Key pages excluded by robots or noindex | Immediate, often large | Critical |
| Crawl budget | Faceted URLs eating 60% of crawls | High on large sites | Critical |
| Core Web Vitals | LCP over 4s on mobile templates | Moderate, compounding | High |
| Internal linking | Money pages four clicks from home | High, cheap to fix | High |
| Schema markup | Missing or invalid structured data | Rich results and AI citations | Medium |
| Redirect chains | Three-hop redirects post-migration | Recovers lost equity | Medium |
| Hreflang | Mismatched return tags | Significant for multi-region | Situational |
Process
How the work runs, step by step
Crawl and data pull
Screaming Frog, Search Console, log files and Analytics, cross-referenced so findings are backed by real traffic data.
Prioritised findings
Every issue scored on estimated traffic impact versus developer effort, with the evidence attached.
Developer-ready tickets
Written as tickets with acceptance criteria, not as a slide deck. Your team can paste them straight into Jira.
Implementation support
We answer developer questions during the sprint and re-test each fix as it ships. Or we implement it ourselves if you prefer.
Verification crawl
Thirty days later we re-crawl and report on what actually changed in crawl stats, indexation and rankings.
Context
Technical SEO and link building are not alternatives
A page that Googlebot cannot render will not rank no matter how many links it has, and a perfectly optimised page with no backlinks will not outrank an authoritative competitor. If your budget only stretches to one, the audit tells you which. Our guest posting clients who run an audit first typically see rankings move about six weeks earlier.
Next step
Find out which links your competitors have and you don’t
Send your domain and three target keywords. We return a link gap report, a shortlist of real publishers in your niche, and a realistic timeline. No cost, no pitch deck.
