SEO Auditing Services
A technical SEO audit service that also tells you what ChatGPT, Google AI, and Perplexity say about you. One $199 report, executed by the founder, delivered in 3 to 5 days.
SEMPITE's SEO auditing service is a full-site review for small businesses and personal brands: technical health, on-page SEO, local and Google Business Profile signals, entity authority, and AI search visibility, scored 0 to 10 across eleven dimensions with every metric sourced and cited. It costs $199 flat, is researched and written by founder Jacob Gerrish rather than handed to junior staff, and arrives as an editable 25+ page report in your private client portal within 3 to 5 business days. It closes the gap between "I know my site is behind" and "I can name exactly what is broken and what to fix first."
What Our SEO Audit Covers
Most SEO audit services stop at the crawl. Ours starts with the question your customers now ask an AI, then works back to the technical fixes that get you named in the answer.
AI Search Visibility
Does ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, Perplexity, or Claude name you for the queries that bring customers? A real query matrix with quoted answers, not a guess.
Technical SEO
Crawlability, indexation, Core Web Vitals, schema, canonicals, redirects, sitemaps, and AI crawler access. Full detail below.
On-Page SEO & GEO
Titles, headings, internal links, content depth, and whether your pages are structured so generative engines can quote them.
Local SEO & Google Business Profile
Categories, reviews, photos, citations, local pack presence, and Apple Business Connect.
Entity & Knowledge Panel
Does Google's Knowledge Graph know who you are? Wikidata, sameAs links, consistent name and address, and the sources AI engines trust.
Competitive Position
Keyword overlap, content gaps, and where category peers are cited and you are not.
The full Brand Audit scores five more dimensions (content quality, UX, conversion, social, Apple ecosystem). See all eleven →
SEO Technical Audit Service
Nothing else in SEO works if the site cannot be crawled, rendered, and indexed. This is the first section of every report, and it is written as fixes, not findings.
Crawlability
robots.txt rules, crawl traps, orphan pages, faceted URL sprawl, and whether GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot, and Google-Extended are allowed or blocked on purpose.
Indexation
Pages Google has indexed versus pages you meant to publish. Noindex leaks, soft 404s, and "crawled, currently not indexed" patterns.
Core Web Vitals
LCP, INP, and CLS on mobile and desktop from PageSpeed field data, with the specific asset or script behind each miss.
Structured Data
Organization, Person, LocalBusiness, Product, FAQ, and BreadcrumbList schema: present, valid, and consistent with the visible page.
Canonicals & Duplicates
Self-referencing canonicals, www and trailing-slash variants, parameter duplicates, and hreflang pairs that point both ways.
Redirects
Chains, loops, 302s that should be 301s, and old-domain equity that never made it to the new site.
Sitemaps
XML sitemap coverage, lastmod accuracy, and whether it lists the pages that actually matter.
Machine Readability
llms.txt, clean HTML without JS-only content, and answer-first sections AI engines can lift verbatim.

SEO Audit Service Questions
What do SEO auditing services include?
A complete SEO audit service reviews five layers: technical SEO (crawlability, indexation, speed, schema), on-page SEO (titles, headings, internal links, content depth), local SEO (Google Business Profile, citations, reviews), entity signals (knowledge panel, Wikidata, consistent NAP), and, in 2026, AI search visibility: whether ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, Perplexity, and Claude name your brand for the queries that matter. SEMPITE's audit covers all five and scores each dimension 0 to 10 with the underlying data shown. Comparing options? Start with what a website audit covers.
How much does an SEO audit service cost?
SEMPITE's SEO audit is $199 flat, including the 25+ page report, the 45-minute strategy call, and lifetime access to the editable document. Typical agency SEO audits run $500 to $5,000; here is how audit pricing breaks down. If you later retain SEMPITE, the $199 credits fully toward your first month.
What is a technical SEO audit service?
A technical SEO audit service checks whether search engines and AI crawlers can find, crawl, render, and index your pages: robots.txt and AI crawler access, XML sitemaps, indexation gaps, canonical tags, redirect chains, Core Web Vitals, mobile rendering, structured data, and duplicate content. It is the first section of every SEMPITE audit because nothing else works if the site cannot be crawled.
Do you offer a free website SEO audit?
Yes, in layers. The Free Visibility Check, the AI Readiness Score, the On-Page SEO Analysis tool, and the Google Rank Checker are free and instant. They cover the surface. The paid $199 audit is the full SEO audit: every page crawled, every metric sourced, and a human-written action plan.
How long does an SEO audit take?
3 to 5 business days from the time you complete the intake form. The crawl, data pulls, and AI search checks run first, then Jacob reviews and writes the recommendations before delivery. We do not rush it; every number is fetched and cited.
Is the audit done by a person or a tool?
Both, in the right order. SEMPITE's own tool stack (site crawler, AI search tracker, citation checker, visual design analyzer) gathers the data. Jacob Gerrish, the founder, reads the output, scores each dimension, and writes every recommendation as an instruction with an owner and a priority. Nothing is handed to junior staff, and client data never leaves SEMPITE's own servers.
