Website audits & inspections
We go through your website, your search listings and your competitors, then hand you a written report: eight checks marked passed, needs work or failed, the evidence behind each mark, and the three changes worth making first. Free for established businesses.
What we check
- Speed on phones: How long your site takes to load for a customer standing in their driveway.
- Found on Google: Page titles, descriptions and structure Google needs to show you for the right searches.
- Shows up on the map: Whether you appear in the local map results when people nearby search for what you do.
- Mentioned by AI: Whether ChatGPT-style assistants and Google’s AI Overviews name your business.
- A page for every service: Each thing you sell has its own page that customers and search engines can find.
- Turns visitors into leads: Your phone number is easy to tap, forms work, and every lead is tracked.
- Secure and trustworthy: Security certificate, no broken pages, and the details Google uses to trust a business.
- Email set up right: Whether the records that help keep your quotes and invoices out of spam folders are in place.
What you get
- A private report page with a PDF download, protected with your own access code.
- A verdict: ready to compete, room to grow, in good shape, or needs a rebuild.
- The three fixes worth the most, each with the evidence behind it.
- Your site health and phone speed scores, and how we checked: the searches, places and AI answers we looked at.
- A 15-minute walkthrough call to go over it together.
How it works
Tell us your website address. Within two business days you’ll have the report. We walk through it with you, then you decide: fix things yourselves, hand the list to your current provider, or have us do it. The report is yours either way.
Every number in it is either measured (from your live site, Google’s own tools and real searches) or clearly labeled as our estimate. Nothing is manufactured to sell a rebuild.
After the inspection
Happy with your current web provider? Advisor keeps inspecting the site and tells you what to fix next. If you’d rather we do the work, the plans are on the other service pages.

Questions
Is it really free?
Yes, for established businesses. There’s no obligation and no sales pitch: you get the written report and a short call to go over it.
What do you need from me?
Just your website address. If you’d like more precise numbers, you can give read-only access to Google Search Console, but it’s optional.
How long does it take?
You’ll have the report within two business days of asking.
Do you look at my competitors?
Yes. We check the searches your customers use in your area and note who shows up instead of you, on the map, in the results and in AI answers.
