Who it's for
For sites that should be doing better
An audit is the cheapest way to find out what's wrong before you spend on content or links. We also recommend one before a redesign, a platform move or a change of agency.
Good fit if
- Traffic dropped and nobody can tell you why
- You're about to redesign or move to a new platform
- You've paid for SEO and can't see what it bought
- You want a second opinion on your current agency
Probably not yet if
- Your site launched last month, so there's no data yet
- You have fewer than ten pages. The free check will cover it.
- You want the fixes done for you. Ask about SEO or a retainer.

Process
Ten working days, start to finish
We need read access to Search Console and Analytics on day one. Everything else we do from the outside.

We agree the domains, languages and competitors to include, then get read-only access.
02
Crawl and collect
A full crawl, log files if you have them, backlink data and AI prompt checks.
03
Analysis
A senior auditor reviews each finding by hand and strips out the noise automated tools produce.
04
Walkthrough
We present the fix list, answer questions and hand it to whoever will do the work.

Clients who fixed the top items in-house
“We'd lost a third of our traffic after a redesign. The audit found the cause in a week.”
The new site had shipped with noindex on 1,240 listing pages and nobody noticed for four months. AdAscend found it on day three, along with a redirect loop on the Arabic version. Our developer fixed both in an afternoon and traffic was back within six weeks.

FAQ
What owners ask about audits
The first question is usually whether you have to hire us afterwards. You don't.
Do we have to hire you to fix things?
No. About half our audit clients fix everything in-house. The tickets are written so any competent developer can follow them.
Can you audit a site before it launches?
Yes, and it's the cheapest time to do it. We audit staging sites and review migration plans before go-live.
Do you audit sites in other languages?
Yes. A native speaker reviews each language version. On Arabic pages that includes right-to-left layout problems, and on every site we check the hreflang links between languages.
How is this different from the free check?
The free check covers your top 20 pages and the obvious issues. The full audit crawls every URL and includes a human review of each finding.
Will the crawl slow our site down?
No. We crawl at a gentle rate and can run overnight in your time zone for busy e-commerce sites.
Which tools do you use?
Screaming Frog, Search Console, Ahrefs, PageSpeed Insights and our own AI prompt tracker. The tools find issues. People decide which ones matter.
