What is meant by a website audit?

In essence, a website audit is a process of evaluating a particular site on the basis of search engine optimization and friendliness of use for a consumer. It helps to measure a site’s overall performance before actually diving into the analytics of a site. It covers all the tactical and technical elements that a website contains and provides suggestions to optimize the site better.

What should be included in an audit proposal?

A website audit proposal should start with an introduction (here, include the qualifications and experience of the key auditors). Next, discuss the process that will be followed for the website audit along with all the different metrics and analyses that will be taken into consideration. To conclude, you can mention the timeframe of the audit and cost to complete.

What strategies do you use to audit a website?

A website audit involves using different tools to measure performance metrics that will be useful to the site. This can be done using two strategies. Either you do an overview analysis that measures all the metrics for you. Or you can take the effort of doing a backend analysis and checking the code of the site to determine where it can be improved.

Introduction

[Sender.Company] is an IT consulting agency specializing in building effective web presences for brands in Client Industry and other industries. Our ability to design, build, and optimize powerful branded web presences makes us the preferred choice for brands who wish to leverage digital channels to drive bottom-line growth.

In this proposal, we outline our approach to conducting a full audit of [Client.Company]’s website. You’ll find details related to how we’ll conduct the audit, the timeline for our audit process, and the costs associated with having [Sender.Company] perform a full audit of your website strategy.

[Sender.Company]’s Website Audit Process

At [Sender.Company], we follow a structured audit process that addresses the following components of your website strategy:

Site Performance
Site Architecture
SEO
UX Design

Once we’ve completed these four key stages of the website strategy audit process, we will compile a detailed report of your site’s traffic patterns, sources, and conversion rates, along with details regarding your site’s architecture and overall performance.

Site Performance Analysis

We begin every website audit by analyzing your website analytics. This allows us to set baseline performance metrics for your website, including traffic volume, traffic sources, search engine rankings, and conversion rates.

Site Architecture Analysis

Your website’s architecture is extremely important. A well-designed website will load quickly on all browsers and devices, be easy to update and maintain, and be secure against malicious attacks.

Our web development team will thoroughly analyze your website’s structure. We will identify any issues related to your site’s CMS, plugins, or hosting configuration. Ensuring that each of these items are configured correctly will ensure that your website is stable , reliable, and secure.

SEO Analysis

SEO is an important part of your website’s overall impact on your company’s growth. We conduct a thorough SEO audit in two key phases:

Technical SEO: We analyze your site’s page hierarchy, link profile, page tags, and meta descriptions to ensure that your off-page SEO is designed properly.
On-page SEO: We analyze your site’s content to identify your current keyword placement and density. This will allow us to identify which keywords you’re targeting effectively, and which ones you aren’t capitalizing on.

UX Analysis

UX design plays an important role in your website’s ability to convert visitors into marketing qualified leads (MQLs). Our UX team will identify the current state of your website’s user journey, and identify any inefficiencies in the following areas:

CTA Placement
Overall Branding
Content Structure

Optional: SEO Report

Understanding which keywords to target with your SEO strategy can put you ahead of your competitors in search results, improving your website’s traffic volume and lead generation. If you choose to include this optional report in your web audit report package, we will analyze search engine traffic and competition for keywords related to your brand and products, and deliver a detailed report that covers those keywords that you should focus on with your website’s content.
