Fixed-fee engagement

SEO Audits

An SEO audit is a fixed-scope diagnostic engagement that isolates what's actually costing you rankings, traffic, or revenue — not a 40-page PDF nobody reads. Choose from five formats, from a five-day backlink review to a full white-label deliverable, and get a fix list ranked by revenue impact, not severity score.

Five audit formats. Pick the one that answers your actual question.

Most agencies sell one audit template and stretch it to fit every problem. A traffic-loss investigation and a pre-launch technical review need different data, different timelines, and different deliverables — so we run five distinct formats instead of one bloated one.

Backlink Audit — from $799

A full link profile export, toxic-link identification, a ready-to-submit disavow file, and a prospecting list of 50 high-DR targets in your vertical. Delivered in five business days.

Content Audit — from $1,200

Every indexed URL scored by traffic, intent match, cannibalisation risk, and thin-content flag. You get a prioritised action list — rewrite, consolidate, redirect, or delete — with a projected traffic uplift for each action.

Technical SEO Audit — from $1,800

A full crawl, Core Web Vitals, indexation issues, structured data, hreflang, and JavaScript rendering review. Findings arrive as a developer-ready sprint backlog, ordered by revenue impact rather than technical severity.

Traffic Loss Investigation — from $2,200

For sites that have lost 20% or more organic traffic in the past 12 months. We isolate the cause — algorithm update, manual action, technical regression, or cannibalisation — and hand you a recovery roadmap with 30/60/90-day milestones.

Full-Scale Audit + White Label — from $3,500

All four audit types combined into one branded deliverable, built for agencies presenting under their own name or enterprise teams preparing for a platform migration.

Every audit ships with the same three deliverables

Deliverable 1

Executive summary

A one-page brief your CEO can read in three minutes: the revenue-impact estimate, the three headline findings, and the single highest-priority action.

Deliverable 2

Prioritised fix list

Every issue ranked by estimated revenue impact, not technical severity, and tagged Quick Win, Sprint Backlog, or Roadmap so your team knows what ships in the next two weeks.

Deliverable 3

30-minute walkthrough call

We walk your team through the findings live, answer questions on the spot, and make sure nothing gets lost in translation before the first sprint starts.

Who this is for

Good fit
  • Sites that lost organic traffic after a Google core update and need a diagnosis before committing to a retainer
  • Agencies that need a credible, white-label audit to present under their own brand
  • In-house teams that want an external second opinion before a CMS or platform migration
  • Founders who want a documented organic baseline before a fundraising round
Poor fit
  • Sites with fewer than 50 indexed pages, where a full audit produces more report than there is to fix
  • Teams that want a report to file away rather than a list of changes to ship
  • Businesses expecting a guaranteed ranking outcome from a single one-time engagement

Questions

What clients ask before they order.

Straight answers. If your situation doesn't fit, we'll say so.

How long does an audit take?
Backlink and content audits ship in 5-7 days. Technical audits and traffic loss investigations take 8-10 days, and full-scale white-label audits take up to 10 business days. Every timeline starts the day we get access to your GSC, GA4, and Ahrefs or Semrush data.
Do you fix the issues, or just report them?
Audits are diagnostic. We tell you exactly what to fix and in what order. If you want us to implement the fixes, that becomes a separate retainer engagement — many clients hand the audit straight to their dev or content team as the brief.
Can we get the audit under our own agency branding?
Yes. The Full-Scale White Label audit exists for this. You get a fully formatted PDF and Notion workspace with your logo and colour palette, no ThrillSEO attribution, and an NDA on request.
What access do you need to start?
Read-only access to Google Search Console and GA4, plus an Ahrefs or Semrush export if you have one. We never need CMS admin access to run an audit.
What happens if we have questions after delivery?
Every audit includes a 30-minute walkthrough call. After that, questions sent via async Loom get a same-business-day answer for 14 days post-delivery.
What clients say
