Do you really need an SEO auditing agency and what are you expecting from an SEO Audit?
SEO goes way beyond what SEO Audit tools like Ahrefs and Semrush offer, although these tools offer lot’s of data and great insights.
Most SEO audits check for crawling/indexing/ranking issues and opportunities. These are the three main sections within Google Search Console. But prioritising the vast amount of opportunities these tools put out is the real art of SEO-auditing.
Whether you are looking for a technical SEO Audit, on-page seo audit or linkbuilding audit Sherlock is here to help you uncover your next step in reaching more traffic.
At Sherlock SEO Agency we are very proud of our holistic SEO-auditing process. Ask us about our data driven performance marketing strategy.
SEO auditing is analyzing errors that hinder search engines from crawling, indexing or ranking your website on either technical, on-page or off-page SEO factors.
Determining, prioritising and communicating the most crucial SEO-factors in order to change the desired outcome. Our SEO Inspectors do this in the following way:

Indexing issues? We offer first checkup, no strings attached. Let’s take a look at your data!
Google is like a librarian, keeping track of what happens on the internet, and saving this in its database. This Google-database of the internet is what we call ‘the index’.
Search engines put a lot of effort in building a quality index with quality results. Make sure to build high quality website content that is up-to-date, shows your expertise, authority and trust and your indexation will improve drastically. Trust us, we have done it hundreds of times for business of all sizes and niches and in multiple locations.
For every search query a list with the most relevant results gets displayed in the SERP (Search Engine Results Page). Search engines keep track of the keyword, page, position and the amount of clicks your webpage received.
Rank higher for more keywords and get more prospective buyers visit your website. Envision what SEO brings to your business once you are able to rank, attract and convert those anonymous, but very interested, visitors into buyers and build long lasting client relations.

I still remember the day Ilse came into our office. She was accompanied by her husband. Their son (he was then studying at MIT) helped them with building the website which was built on squarespace.
But they were stuck, they have created a website, and optimised for SEO. They have read every SEO-guide but they where still stuck on page 2.
We audited and optimised the website with a new site structure, navigation, UX and search terms, internal links and schema markup were optimized. The website received 600% more visits within the 3 weeks and the client’s sales increased significantly.
