The 1 hour Technical SEO Audit for EvanCarmichael.com. A while back I wrote a post about finding your site’s biggest technical (SEO) flaws in 60 minutes, and I had Evan contact me about doing a similar type of audit for this website.
Evan you’re a brave man, and I promise to be as ruthless as possible ;) The point of this post (audit) is to show you what a professional SEO can do for you in less than an hour to help you improve your site. Since I’ve only given myself 60 minutes to complete this, I’ll likely miss out on some things but I’m going to concentrate on big issues such as: Find Your Site's Biggest Technical Flaws in 60 Minutes. The author's views are entirely his or her own (excluding the unlikely event of hypnosis) and may not always reflect the views of Moz.
I've deliberately put myself in some hot water to demonstrate how I would do a technical SEO site audit in 1 hour to look for quick fixes, (and I've actually timed myself just to make it harder). For the pros out there, here's a look into a fellow SEO 's workflow; for the aspiring, here's a base set of checks you can do quickly. I've got some lovely volunteers who have kindly allowed me to audit their sites to show you what can be done in as little as 60 minutes. I'm specifically going to look for crawling, indexing and potential Panda threatening issues like: SEO, Social, Keywords, Backlinks and Rankings.
