Growth Audit

Enter two URLs and get a side-by-side scorecard across technical SEO, page speed, schema markup, tech stack, and AI search readiness — with plain-English gaps tied to a specific named competitor.

A written, scored report of what is actually holding your site back. Delivered as a Google Doc inside five business days. No call required. No sales pitch attached.

  • Scored across nine categories — technical SEO, on-page structure, mobile experience, content quality, baseline competitive context, and more
  • 30 to 50 pages of written diagnosis, prioritized fixes, and reasoning
  • Five business days from acceptance to delivery
  • Delivered as a Google Doc you can share with your team or your developer
Submit your site

Request your audit

Five free audits per week. If we are at capacity when you submit, you will be added to next week’s queue. Reports ship within five business days of acceptance.

What you get

A real assessment with prioritized fixes. Not a spreadsheet of 200 issues.

The audit is built to run without connected access to your analytics or Search Console. We look at what anyone with the right tools and a careful eye could find on the public surface of your site, organized into something useful.

If you want a deeper review that pulls in your real performance data, that is the paid Marketing Audit (covered below). The free Growth Audit answers what is wrong with my site. The paid Marketing Audit answers what should my business be doing differently.

At the end of every audit report, you will find a short section explaining how the paid Marketing Audit differs if you want to go deeper. No pressure either way.

Answers: what should my business be doing differently

Most clients run the free audit first and engage for the Marketing Audit when they are ready to address the strategic layer above the structural one. Some clients only need the free one. That is a normal outcome.

Who this is built for

Established businesses with real revenue and real customers

The free Growth Audit is built for founders and small teams who are past the startup phase, have a website that is actively generating or supporting revenue, and are ready to hear what is actually wrong with it.

If you are still building your first site or validating your first offer, the audit will still run, but it will tell you things you are not ready to act on yet.

If you are substantially larger and running a dedicated marketing team, the audit will surface technical and structural issues, but the strategic depth your business needs probably starts with the Marketing Audit.

If you are somewhere in between and the fit feels right, we will take a look.

Why this is free

The honest answer

First: the audit runs on tools and processes we have built and refined over time. The cost of running one is mostly review time, which is a real cost but a reasonable one for building relationships with businesses we might work with later.

Second: free audits build trust faster than free discovery calls. Most of you have sat through enough sales-disguised-as-strategy calls to know the pattern. A real written deliverable, with no call attached, gives you something useful whether or not we ever work together.

Third: the audit is honest lead generation. Some readers of the report become clients. Most do not. Both outcomes are fine.
