This includes: rankings monitoring, current top site pages & queries identification, site speed, review javascript crawling, mobile setup, structured data, pagination and sitemaps.
Platform audit: We will complete an in-detail technical audit using specialist tools. We will then provide a clear and prioritised SEO roadmap detailing all recommended fixes, potential quick win SEO fixes and clear specifications on how to implement recommended fixes.
One to one mappings: It is essential that URLs are mapped to the correct locations, so our team will carry out one to one mappings to ensure this.
