Free site audit before any quote · #1 on Google Singapore for “on page seo services” (checked 2 October 2026) · SME500 2023
Your traffic dropped and nobody can say why
Most people who ask us for an audit are in one of these spots.
A tool gave you hundreds of warnings
A free checker flagged every page in red, with no hint of which issues cost you rankings and which ones you can safely ignore.
Rankings fell after a redesign
The new site looks better, but since it went live the enquiries from Google have dried up and nobody involved can tell you why.
You pay for SEO and nothing moves
Months of reports, and the same rankings. You’d like a second opinion before you sign again.
What is an SEO audit?
An SEO audit is a full health check of everything that affects how your website ranks on Google, across three layers. Technical SEO is whether Google can crawl, index and load your pages. On-page SEO and content is whether each page answers what people search for. Off-page SEO is whether other trusted sites link to you.
A good audit also looks at the competitors above you, because that’s where the gap is. Then it turns every finding into a ranked list of what to fix, so you spend money on the problems that are holding you back.
Every check explained in plain English
What the audit covers. Each finding comes with what it means and what to do about it.
- Technical SEO: crawling and indexing, robots.txt, XML sitemaps, redirects, canonical tags and crawl errors
- Site speed and Core Web Vitals, on mobile and desktop
- On-page SEO: title tags, meta descriptions, headings, image alt text and keyword targeting
- Content quality: thin pages, duplicate content, and topics your competitors cover that you don’t
- Internal linking, site structure and orphan pages that nothing links to
- Your backlink profile: authority, relevance, anchor text and toxic links that risk a penalty
- Where you rank today, and the searches you’re missing
- Competitor analysis: why the sites above you rank
- Traffic-drop diagnosis: an algorithm update, a manual penalty or a technical fault
- Local SEO: your Google Business Profile, citations and local signals
- GA4 and Google Search Console setup, so your data can be trusted
- AI search readiness: schema markup, structured data and how clearly your pages state facts
What should you fix first?
Every issue we find is rated by impact and effort. Quick wins you can do this week go at the top. Bigger projects get mapped out for the quarter.
Say a stray noindex tag is hiding your service pages from Google, and 300 images have no alt text. The first one is costing you enquiries today. The second can wait. Your report says that in plain words, so nobody has to guess.

Across the whole site we rank for 589 Singapore keywords, 222 of them in the top 10 (DataForSEO, September 2026). Your audit runs the same checks we use on our own site, from crawl errors to the backlinks pointing at it.
From audit to fix list: what happens
On most sites a focused audit takes one to two weeks, and bigger sites take longer.
Discovery
We learn your goals, your target keywords and the competitors you’re up against, so the audit is judged against what matters to you.
Crawl and review
We crawl the whole site, then a person reviews the technical setup, the content and the backlinks.
Benchmark
We compare you with the sites outranking you to find the biggest gaps.
Prioritise
Findings become a ranked action plan, with quick wins first and big projects mapped out.
Walk-through
We take you through it on a call, in plain English, and answer your questions.
A fix list you can hand to any developer
Each finding says what’s wrong, why it matters for your rankings or enquiries, and exactly what to change. Your developer can work from it without calling us.
The report is yours to keep. Fix things yourself, give it to your web team, or ask us to do the work. Most clients choose the last one, through our SEO services.
Free audit tools give you a score. What do you do with it?
Tools are good at spotting changes between audits, so keep yours running. What they can’t tell you is which problems matter for your business and the market you sell in.
| A free audit tool | Our SEO audit | |
|---|---|---|
| Who does it | Software, in a few minutes | A person, who reads your site and the sites above you |
| What you get | A score and a long list of warnings | A short list ranked by impact, with what to do about each item |
| Context | It doesn’t know your business or your market | Judged against your goals and your competitors |
| Backlinks | Often left out, or limited | Reviewed for authority and toxic links |
| After the report | You’re on your own | A walk-through call, and help with the fixes if you want it |
If your site is fine, we’ll tell you
Some sites don’t need much. If yours is in good shape, the audit says so, and we’ll point you at the one or two things worth doing.
If we can help, you get a quote after the call, and if we can’t, we’ll say so and you keep the findings.
What happens after the audit
You’ve got three options. Fix it in-house, hand the list to your developer, or let us do it.
If you want us to, our technical SEO work fixes the crawl, speed and indexing problems. Our SEO plans, from $600 a month, go further. They start with a technical baseline audit, fix the issues month by month, and carry a guarantee: 10% of your target keywords on page one, or 20% more organic traffic, within six months (15% or 25% on Gold).
How much does an SEO audit cost in Singapore?
The first audit is free, with no obligation. A deeper, fully manual audit with a detailed action plan is a one-off fee, quoted on the size and complexity of your site after the free one. If you go on to an SEO plan ($600 to $2,200 a month), the technical audit is part of the plan.
Types of SEO audit, and when you need each one
| Audit | What it checks | When you need it |
|---|---|---|
| Technical SEO audit | Crawling, indexing, speed, redirects, canonical tags, schema | Pages are missing from Google, or the site feels slow |
| On-page and content audit | Titles, headings, keyword targeting, thin and duplicate content | Pages are indexed but don’t rank |
| Backlink audit | Link authority, relevance, anchor text, toxic links | A sudden drop, or you once bought links |
| Local SEO audit | Google Business Profile, citations, reviews, local pages | You don’t show up on the map nearby |
| Migration audit | Redirect mapping, lost pages, changed URLs | Before and after a redesign or platform move |
| AI search audit | Schema, clear facts, mentions across the web | You want ChatGPT and AI Overviews to name you |
Our audit covers all of them in one pass. If you only need the technical side fixed, see technical SEO services.
Can you do your own SEO audit? Start here
A quick self-check you can run in an afternoon, before you pay anyone.
- Open Google Search Console and look at the page indexing report. Pages marked "not indexed" can’t rank.
- Search site:yourdomain.com on Google and see roughly how many pages show up
- Run your homepage and a main service page through PageSpeed Insights, on mobile
- Read the title tag and meta description of your five most important pages. Do they say what you sell and where?
- Click through your menu on a phone. Anything broken or hard to tap is a problem for people and for Google.
- Check that your Google Business Profile has the right hours, phone number and categories
- Search the three things you most want to rank for, and note who’s above you
SEO mistakes we spot most often
| Problem | What it does | The fix |
|---|---|---|
| A noindex tag left on after launch | Hides pages from Google entirely | Remove it and request indexing |
| Missing redirects after a redesign | Old rankings and links point at error pages | Map every old URL to its closest new page |
| Slow mobile pages | Fails Core Web Vitals and loses visitors | Compress images, cut scripts, fix hosting |
| Duplicate and thin pages | Splits signals and wastes crawl budget | Merge, rewrite or canonicalise |
| Two pages chasing one keyword | Neither ranks well | Pick one page and point the other at it |
| No internal links to key pages | Google sees them as unimportant | Link to them from pages that get traffic |
| Broken links and redirect chains | Wasted crawl time and lost link value | Fix or shorten them |

Why an audit is worth doing first
Picture spending six months on blog posts and links while a single technical fault keeps Google from indexing half your site. The content was fine all along, and the problem sat underneath it. An audit catches that before the spending starts.
Many of the problems an audit finds are quick to fix. Fix the indexing, speed up the slow pages or fill an obvious content gap, and a whole site can climb within weeks. And because you know what to fix first, every dollar after the audit lands on something that moves your search visibility.
Lost rankings after a redesign or migration?
It’s one of the most common reasons people ask us for an audit. A new site changes URLs, and if the old ones don’t redirect to their closest new page, Google drops the rankings and the links that pointed at them.
We compare your old pages with the new ones, find what’s missing, and map the redirects. When we build a site ourselves, redirect mapping is part of the redesign. See our website development services.
