What to Expect from Your Free SEO Audit – A Clear Breakdown from NPW Digital
If you’re a local business owner in Nottingham (or beyond), chances are you’ve heard the term “SEO audit” but might not fully understand what it includes — or why it matters. At NPW Digital, we offer a completely free, no-obligation SEO audit designed to give you clear, actionable insights into your website’s performance and search visibility.
Here’s what’s actually included — and how each section helps you climb the search rankings:
✅ On-Page SEO
We assess critical on-page elements like:
-
Title Tags and Meta Descriptions – Are they the right length and keyword-optimised?
-
Header Tags (H1-H6) – Is your content properly structured for both users and search engines?
-
Keyword Consistency – Are your target phrases used naturally and effectively?
-
Text Volume – We check if your page has enough useful content or is at risk of being labelled as “thin.”
✅ Technical SEO
Technical SEO can make or break your visibility. We check:
-
Mobile Friendliness & PageSpeed – How well your site loads on mobile and desktop devices.
-
SSL Security & HTTPS Redirects – Essential for user trust and ranking.
-
Schema Markup & Canonical Tags – So Google knows what your site is about and which pages to prioritise.
-
Sitemap & Robots.txt – Ensuring search engines can crawl and index your site properly.
✅ Usability & User Experience
A fast site is good, but a usable one is better. We highlight:
-
Tap target spacing & font size
-
Navigation structure
-
Use of inline styles or deprecated HTML
✅ Backlink Profile
Backlinks still matter. Our audit includes:
-
Total backlinks & referring domains
-
Follow vs. nofollow links
-
Top anchor text & referring pages
If your site is underperforming in this area, we’ll recommend strategies to build high-quality links that search engines trust.
✅ Social Signals & Profiles
Social media impacts SEO indirectly. We look for:
-
Connected Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, and Twitter/X profiles
-
Open Graph Tags & social share data
-
Opportunities to grow your presence through engagement and consistency
✅ Local SEO
For Nottingham-based businesses, Local SEO is essential. We review:
-
Google Business Profile status & review count
-
LocalBusiness schema on your website
-
Citations and NAP consistency (Name, Address, Phone)
✅ Recommendations & Priority Levels
Each audit ends with:
-
A summary grade (A+ to F)
-
A list of clear, prioritised recommendations so you know what to tackle first.
Why It’s Free
This isn’t a bait-and-switch. We’re confident that once you see the value and insight this audit provides, you’ll want to work with us — but there’s no obligation. Use the report however you wish.
