Free SEO Audit for Scottish Businesses
If you run a business in Scotland, you need to know how your website is performing in search results. Are you appearing when customers search for your services? Are there technical issues hurting your rankings? What opportunities are you missing?
A free SEO audit answers these questions. It gives you a clear picture of where your website stands right now and what needs to be improved.
What is an SEO Audit?
An SEO audit is a comprehensive review of your website's search engine optimisation. It examines technical SEO, on-page optimisation, local SEO factors, content quality, and competitor analysis.
Think of it as a health check for your website. Just like a medical checkup identifies health issues before they become serious, an SEO audit identifies SEO issues before they hurt your rankings.

Our free SEO audit covers all the key areas that affect your search rankings:

We check for technical issues that can hurt your rankings, such as:

We review how well your pages are optimised for search engines, including:
- Title tags and meta descriptions
- Header tags (H1, H2, H3)

- Competitive gaps you can exploit
Why You Need an SEO Audit
An SEO audit is the first step in any SEO strategy. Without it, you're working blind. You don't know what's working, what's broken, or what opportunities you're missing.
Here's why an SEO audit matters:
Identify Problems
Technical issues, poor optimisation, and missing local SEO factors can hurt your rankings. An audit identifies these problems so you can fix them.
Find Opportunities
You might be missing opportunities to rank for relevant keywords or appear in local search results. An audit identifies these opportunities.
Understand Your Competition
An audit shows how you compare to your competitors and what you need to do to compete effectively.
Set Priorities
Not all SEO issues are equally important. An audit helps you prioritise what to fix first based on impact and difficulty.
Measure Progress
An audit provides a baseline for measuring your SEO progress over time.
