03 / EXPERIENCE↗
Real usability.
Mobile usability, speed and Core Web Vitals considerations are investigated in context.

SEO audit services for small businesses
Stop guessing.
Find the friction.
When your pages are not ranking, enquiries are slowing or you are planning a website redesign, an SEO website audit helps you understand the underlying issues before investing in more content or marketing.
We assess how search engines can crawl and interpret your site, whether your pages match relevant search intent, and which improvements deserve attention first. The result is a structured assessment — not a list of unexplained errors.
Looking for ongoing implementation instead? Explore our SEO services or monthly SEO packages. An audit is a one-off diagnostic service; implementation can be scoped separately.

Local SEO opportunities

More than an automated scan
Findings are useful.
Priorities are better.
Automated tools can flag hundreds of warnings. They cannot always explain which ones matter most for your site, resources or commercial goals. Our SEO audit report turns the assessment into a clear, prioritised roadmap.

SEO audit FAQs
Good questions.
Clear answers.
What to expect from a technical SEO audit, how much it costs and how it fits into a wider SEO strategy.
What is an SEO audit?
An SEO audit is a structured assessment of factors affecting a website's visibility in organic search. It can examine crawlability, indexation, on-page optimisation, site structure, content targeting, performance and links, with recommendations based on the agreed scope.
How much does an SEO audit cost in the UK?
MARQ's one-off SEO audit packages start at £300 for Essential, £500 for Growth and £750 for Authority. The suitable tier depends on the website's size, complexity and the depth of investigation required.
What's included in a technical SEO audit?
A technical SEO audit can review crawl errors, indexing directives, canonical signals, redirects, sitemaps, internal linking and performance considerations. The precise depth of investigation varies by package.
Will an SEO audit improve my Google rankings?
An audit identifies problems and opportunities; it does not change rankings by itself. Improvements depend on implementing suitable recommendations, competition, search demand and Google's systems. Rankings cannot be guaranteed.
How long does an SEO audit take?
Timing depends on the website, access requirements and chosen package. We confirm a realistic delivery timeframe before starting rather than promising the same turnaround for every site.
Do you need access to my website or Google Search Console?
Public-facing checks can be completed without login access, but read-only access to Google Search Console, analytics or the CMS can improve the depth of some findings. We agree any access requirements with you in advance.
Is an SEO audit different from monthly SEO?
Yes. An SEO audit is a one-off diagnostic and action plan. Monthly SEO typically involves implementing improvements, developing content, monitoring results and refining strategy over time. See our SEO packages for ongoing support.
Can you audit a WordPress or Elementor website?
Yes. We can assess WordPress and Elementor websites, including common technical, content, mobile usability and performance considerations. We assess the live website and agreed data sources rather than assuming every issue is caused by the platform.
Do you provide local SEO audits for London businesses?
We can include relevant local search observations within an SEO audit, depending on the tier and agreed scope. For a more dedicated review of Google Maps, location pages and Google Business Profile visibility, see our Local SEO services.
Can MARQ implement the recommendations after the audit?
Yes, implementation can be discussed as a separate project or through ongoing SEO support. The audit fee covers the agreed assessment and deliverables, not unlimited development or content changes.
