With our in-depth content audit service, we investigate every piece of your content so that you know exactly what’s working well for you and what isn’t.
After collecting data, you'll be able to see exactly which posts are gaining you the most traffic and conversions and which ones are simply just sitting in cyberspace. In an easy to read document, we organize your content to display the top and least performing posts, as well as provide recommendations on how to improve those not-so-hot posts.
This is the core of the content audit. Here we collect it all: meta descriptions, alt tags, headers, indexibility, crawl depth, word count, and of course the classics like time on page, sessions, external and internal linking, number of backlinks, social engagement, and more. You'll receive a Google Sheet featuring SEO metrics for ALL of your content.
This is where it gets fun. Our Page Score manually scores all of your content. Think back to the good ole' grade school days when those papers you would turn in would receive a grade. We take that same concept and grade each of your content pieces and provide suggestions to either Leave As Is, Update, or Remove each piece of content on your site.
Choosing 3-5 of your top competitors, we analyze their top performing content pieces and see if there are any patterns we can help you implement into your content strategy. This could look like new topic ideas, backlink data, and content types. Sometimes all it takes is a look at what everyone else is doing to give you an idea on how to spice up your content.
Whew, that's a lot of information already! But, we don't stop there. After further analysis we put together a deliverable that outlines very specific recommendations of what to do with your content moving forward. You'll have a clear understanding of how to create new content in the future that is both well written and optimized for users and search engines.
Before we dive into the data, we first take the time to get to know your business and brand in-depth. In order to audit your content, we need to know who’s reading it, who you want reading, and what your main objectives are.
This is where we analyze all of the content on your website, review the metrics, and discover where your content may be missing the mark. We look at defining and providing suggestions for the following content metrics:
We don’t just hand you over a spreadsheet full of data. And we definitely don’t send you a 50-page report full of terminology and analysis you won’t be able to understand.
Every content audit we conduct is designed to provide you with a handbook of exactly what to do with your existing content and how to create new content moving forward. You’ll receive suggestions for a large number of content metrics, helping you to create content that truly engages and converts.
Every metric is important and will impact the overall result, so we don’t cut corners when it comes to providing recommendations.
A content audit takes the guesswork out of the way. It keeps an inventory of the content in your website and provides helpful insight into the type of content you should create, and what you should re-write, update, and delete.
Plus, it’s for everyone! Business, brands, bloggers, influencers, and publishers can all benefit for a content audit.
We pride ourselves on creating deliverables you can actually understand. Sick of looking at audits that make you feel like you’re reading Latin or trying to decipher the Da Vinci Code? By the time you’ve finished reading your audit from us, you’ll understand what’s working, what isn’t, and how you can improve – without feeling like you’ve aged 10 years.
