We offer Audits for Existing Websites
Website Audits can be helpful for small business owners who need their website evaluated for improving their visibility on Search Engines, and who just need some personal assistance.
Your website visibility on Google is influenced by a wide range of variables that include both code and content structures as well as aspects of content marketing quality. These variables can be analysed using software online that factors in website speed, Meta Data, content, code mark-up and link analysis.
For many people, a website evaluation is only considered how a website looks in terms of “look and feel” for graphics, colours, layout, features and functionality. But…the truth is, from a search engine’s spider’s point of view, the structure is the only important aspect to consider.
The majority of websites cannot be seen for any keywords due to the fact the keywords if any are buried deep within the website coding and consequently not seen by search engines, like a needle in a haystack amongst thousands of other competing websites. As of 2020, there is a new level of website auditing reference to consider for the Core Web Vitals as seen in the Google Website Speed Checker.
So, what is a website evaluation for Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) and how can it help your business move forward to improve your business being found online?
The first step to look at is whether your website is compliant with Global Meta Data standards and then identify if the structure is supportive of providing a clear concise path to important keywords that the search engines can access with speed.
For a comprehensive website evaluation, there are many aspects that need to be considered in a logical progression of yes or no that overall, affect a website’s visibility.
Next, does the website content aim to reflect the answers that Google users are looking for, as in regard to topics and interests that your products or services provide solutions for?
The ultimate goal for a small business website is to be favoured by search engines such as Bing and Google to be shown when potential prospective customers search for solutions that are in line with the site’s offerings.
In order to do that the website’s foundations must be solid for any keyword leverage in search engine optimisation to have any effect on any content that is published on the site.
Unfortunately, many websites are built on loose foundations for accessibility or use old coding strategies for layout that impede SEO effectiveness.
What next?
Innervisions websites has undertaken various website evaluations for existing business websites to identify the current status of compliance and how well a website or pages have been developed for SEO.
Your website can be analysed with advanced software and strategies to identify current problems with regard to structure, SEO, and coding markup and report back on potential opportunities that you could explore.
Our website evaluation and website audit report can be provided to you to use with your own web designer or developer to update your website into an SEO-friendly website.
We are also available to carry out our own recommendations outline in the report.
Be pre-warned however, as many websites have been developed in old coding strategies, your website may need to be completely redeveloped from scratch. Such a realisation is not a welcoming reality, especially if you have already spent thousands only to realise that your website cannot even be found for any keywords or your business name. A website evaluation will definitely help you gain clarity in what needs to be done to your website to improve current results.
Did you know

- that websites that conform to Global Standards for Accessibility have a greater chance of being found online from specific keyword searches?
- that most websites are not optimised for speed for desktop computers or mobile phones?

- that a website structure for controlling content layout, categories and graphics can dramatically affect if a website can be found online or not?
