SEO Audits - Know Exactly Whats Holding Your Site Back

Most SEO audits fall into one of two buckets. There's the free tool-generated report — a wall of auto-flagged "issues," half of which don't actually matter, with no judgment about what to fix first. And there's the agency audit — thorough, sure, but priced at $1,200 to $2,500 and often followed by a monthly retainer you didn't ask for.

Neither of those gets a business owner what they actually need: a straight answer about what's costing them rankings and traffic, ranked by what actually moves the needle.

That's why Granite Cloud & Code is launching SEO Audits — a full-site audit across every ranking factor that matters, checked by hand, priced about 60% below what agencies typically charge.

What's Covered

This isn't a crawl-and-dump report. Every audit covers the same eight areas, checked manually, not just run through a scanner:

• Technical SEO — crawlability, indexability, robots.txt, sitemap coverage, redirect chains, broken links, and site architecture
• Core Web Vitals — LCP, INP, and CLS scores, page speed, image weight, and render-blocking resources — the factors Google actually ranks on
• On-Page & Content — title tags, meta descriptions, header structure, keyword targeting, content depth, and E-E-A-T signals
• Structured Data — Schema.org / JSON-LD coverage, validation errors, and missed rich-result eligibility
• Local SEO & NAP — Google Business Profile optimization, citation consistency, name/address/phone accuracy, and local schema
• Backlink Profile — referring domain quality, toxic link exposure, anchor text distribution, and link-building opportunities
• Competitive Gap — where competitors are outranking you, and the specific keywords and pages worth targeting to close the gap
• AI Search Readiness — how citable your content is for Google AI Overviews, ChatGPT, and Perplexity — the newest front of search visibility

That last one matters more every month. If your content isn't structured to be citable, you're invisible in a growing share of searches — and most agency audits still don't check for it.

Pricing

Flat pricing, no monthly retainer required.

Full SEO Audit — $499 one-time

A complete, prioritized breakdown of every SEO factor holding your site back. Agencies typically charge $1,200–$2,500 for this.

Audit & Critical Fix — $999 one-time (most popular)

The full audit, plus I personally fix every issue flagged as critical. Includes a before/after verification pass and a written summary of every change made. Bundled remediation projects like this typically run $2,700+.

Migrate & Get It All Fixed Free — $0 with migration

Move your hosting, design, and support to Granite Cloud, and I remediate every finding — not just the critical ones — at no extra charge. Full remediation projects elsewhere run $3,000–$6,000.

How It Works

1. Submit your site. Send me your URL — no account or access needed to start.
2. I run the full audit personally. Every factor above, checked by hand — not an auto-generated tool report.
3. You get a prioritized report. Every finding ranked by severity, so you know what actually moves the needle first.
4. Fix it yourself, or let me handle it. Take the report and run with it, have me fix the critical items, or move to Granite Cloud and I'll fix everything.

Most sites get a full report back within 5 business days.

What Counts as "Critical"

Not every finding is worth panicking about. A critical finding is something actively costing you rankings or traffic right now — broken indexing, missing or duplicate title tags, broken canonical tags, or Core Web Vitals failures. Cosmetic or low-impact items get flagged in the report, but they don't count toward the critical-fix tier.

And to be clear about what this isn't: no one honestly guarantees a #1 ranking, and anyone who does isn't being straight with you. What I guarantee is a complete, accurate audit and that every fix I make is done correctly and verified afterward.

Why It's Priced This Way

The same efficiency gains that let me cut web design prices by over 60% this year apply here too. AI-assisted tooling speeds up the mechanical parts of an audit — crawling, data-gathering, cross-referencing — without replacing the judgment part. Every factor is still checked by hand, and every fix is still verified by me before it's called done. The savings get passed on instead of pocketed.

You also don't have to move your hosting to get an audit or a critical-fix remediation — both stand on their own regardless of where your site currently lives. Full remediation of every finding, not just the critical ones, is reserved for clients who move hosting, design, and support to Granite Cloud, since that's the tier where I'm already in the codebase managing everything else.
