Full SEO Audit for service businesses

A practical SEO audit for UK service businesses, delivered by NexusAI Solution in Cambridge. We turn technical, content, local and authority issues into a clear action plan for improving search visibility and conversion quality.

What this fixes
✕The website looks fine but does not rank or convert
✕Service pages are too thin to compete in search
✕Technical SEO issues block visibility or crawling
✕Local search signals and internal links are weak

What we build

✓Technical SEO crawl and indexation checks
✓Metadata, headings, internal linking and content review
✓Local SEO and service-area visibility checks
✓Competitor and keyword opportunity review
✓Prioritised roadmap split into quick wins and deeper fixes

Expected operational impact

Clearer search positioning for your services
Better page structure for users and Google
Prioritised fixes instead of generic SEO advice
A stronger foundation for ongoing content growth

Final results depend on workflow volume, team adoption and tool access. The audit validates the business case before build.

The problem this solves

Most SEO audits are long lists of issues with no indication of which ones actually matter. A 200-point technical crawl that flags every missing alt tag alongside a broken canonical URL is not useful — it obscures the handful of issues that are actually limiting your rankings. Our audit focuses on the specific factors that drive organic visibility and conversion for a service business: technical correctness, keyword relevance, structured data, local signals, and content quality. The output is a prioritised plan, not a spreadsheet of findings.

How we deliver this service

1

We run a combination of automated crawls and manual reviews. Automated tools (Screaming Frog, Semrush, or equivalent) surface technical issues at scale. Manual review covers the things automated tools miss: whether your H1s actually reflect keyword intent, whether your service pages have the depth to compete against ranked pages in your category, whether your schema markup is correctly implemented, and whether your content reads like it was written by someone who knows the subject.

2

The competitive analysis looks at the top 5–10 ranking pages for your priority terms. We examine their content depth, backlink profile, structured data, and page architecture — identifying the specific gaps between their pages and yours. This is where the prioritised roadmap comes from: fix what is holding you back relative to the pages you need to beat, not generic best-practice checklists.

3

For local SEO, we review your Google Business Profile, NAP consistency across directories, local schema markup, and service-area page structure. For AI search optimisation (AISO), we audit your llms.txt, structured data coverage, and content structure for AI citation suitability — increasingly important as Perplexity, ChatGPT, and Google AI Overviews influence how service businesses are found.

Questions about Full SEO Audit

Do you implement the SEO fixes?+

Yes. Implementation can be scoped separately after the audit — covering technical fixes, metadata rewrites, schema markup, content structure, and conversion optimisation.

Is this just an automated report?+

No. Tools assist with discovery, but the deliverable is a prioritised human-reviewed action plan. Every recommendation is specific to your site and your competitive landscape.

Does the audit cover AI search optimisation (AISO)?+

Yes. All audits include AISO coverage: llms.txt, structured data for AI crawlers, content structure for AI citation, and E-E-A-T signals that affect AI search visibility.

How long does an audit take?+

A standard service business audit takes 5–7 working days from access to delivery. We will confirm the timeline based on your site's size and complexity.

What access do you need?+

Read-only access to Google Search Console and Google Analytics is most useful. The technical crawl runs against your live site. No CMS access is required unless you want us to implement fixes.
