# SEO Audit

> Audit, review, or diagnose SEO issues on their site.

An expert framework for auditing, reviewing, and diagnosing SEO issues across the full crawl-index-rank chain. It works through six prioritized categories: crawlability, technical foundations, on-page, content quality, and authority, and pairs them with deep scoring systems (an 80-item content benchmark and a 40-item domain rating) to produce a severity-ranked action plan.

## Use cases
- Running a full technical and on-page SEO audit on a site
- Diagnosing why pages aren't ranking or indexing
- Auditing crawl budget waste and orphan or zombie pages
- Scoring content quality against EEAT and AI-citation benchmarks
- Reviewing meta tags, heading structure, and internal linking
- Producing a prioritized fix roadmap from critical to long-term

## Benefits
- Fix the right problems first by classifying findings into the crawl-index-rank chain
- Focus effort on the 20% of pages driving 80% of traffic with Pareto prioritization
- Reclaim crawl budget by pruning low-value URLs so Google reaches your key pages
- Get quantified content and domain scores that map directly to remediation priority

## What’s included
- Six-category audit framework from crawlability through authority and links
- 80-item CORE-EEAT content benchmark with weighting by content type and veto items
- 40-item CITE domain rating across citation, identity, trust, and eminence
- Crawl-budget deep-dive (log analysis, zombie pages, crawl-waste detection)
- Per-issue output format with impact, evidence, fix, and priority
- Top field-trap table (canonical loops, JS-rendered content, sitemap 404s)

## Who it’s for
SEO specialists and agencies who need a rigorous, scoring-backed audit that pinpoints what's blocking rankings and turns it into a prioritized, actionable plan.

## How it runs
The audit runs as a fixed chain, crawl before index before rank, because optimizing the top of a broken chain is wasted work:
1. Frames scope first: site type, priority keywords and pages, Search Console access, recent migrations or known issues.
2. Works the crawl layer before anything else: robots.txt blocks, sitemap hygiene, canonical conflicts, redirect chains and loops, soft 404s, orphan pages.
3. Audits the on-page layer: unique 50-60 character titles, meta descriptions, single H1 hierarchy, target keyword in the first 100 words, internal links, image alt text.
4. Scores content against an 80-item CORE-EEAT benchmark: 40 content-body checks (direct answer in the first 150 words, data tables, original data) plus 40 source-credibility checks, weighted by content type.
5. Flags crawl waste and zombie pages: URLs with zero organic traffic in 90 days, pages eating crawl budget through parameters or faceted navigation.
6. Outputs every finding as issue, impact, evidence, fix and priority, then assembles an action plan from critical indexation blockers down to quick wins.

## FAQ
### Is this for auditing one page or the whole site?
Site-level. It works the full crawl-index-rank chain through six prioritized categories: crawlability, technical foundations, on-page, content quality, and authority, and ends in a severity-ranked action plan. For grading a single page on a 0-100 scale, the narrower seo-quality-rater is the better fit.

### How is the output more than a long list of problems?
Findings are classified into the crawl-index-rank chain and quantified with two scoring systems: an 80-item CORE-EEAT content benchmark and a 40-item CITE domain rating. Every issue ships with impact, evidence, fix, and priority, so what actually blocks rankings gets fixed first.

### Will it implement the fixes it recommends?
No. It diagnoses and prioritizes, the output is a roadmap from critical to long-term with per-issue fix instructions. Applying redirects, rewriting content, or pruning low-value URLs is the work that follows the audit.
