I’m a data driven marketer who enjoys talking shop, Salsa dancing and 90’s sitcoms. Whenever I'm not maniacally poring over an audit, I’m probably contemplating an intricate strategy to dominate Google while tenting my fingers.

Getting started with the template
You’ll notice there’s a lot of tabs – 95% of them are just data export tabs.
The tabs that matter are the ones colored in yellow
.
The “Checklist” tab is where you will run your technical evaluation. Column A has the “Item” in review, columns B and C are where you will record your findings.
Columns D, E, F and G will show you exactly how to find and evaluate each “Item” in question.
The “Summary” tab is where you will record your findings in detail. This is the critical part that makes your work actionable – we’ve left a ton of examples to give you context on how to fill this tab out.
The goal of a tech SEO audit is to
identify
errors, not
fix
them. After you complete the audit, you will likely need a developer to fully implement your recommendations. This audit
does not include
keyword research
, competitive analysis and link profile analysis. Our audits focus solely on the technical performance of a website.
If you’re a beginner, I suggest you take a few hours to read through
Google Search Central
(formerly Google Webmasters). It is by far the best resource on the internet about what matters in technical SEO. Read it. Learn it. Implement it.
Everything you need to run a full technical SEO audit is included in the free spreadsheet template. The remainder of this post will break down all of the technical items that the technical audit entails.
“Findability “refers to how easily website information can be discovered by both search engines
and
website visitors. This section will cover how to identify and correct issues with your website being discovered by search engine bots.
Indexation Status
What is indexation?
How many pages on your website are indexed by search engines.
Why does indexation
matter
?
We’re moving to a search algorithm that favors content rich websites. If you operate in a competitive space (i.e. legal) you standard 5 page website just won’t cut it anymore.
If you have a lot of content on your website, this will tell you if Google is aware of it.
A low indexation rate could point to a number of issues (lack of internal linking, render blocking code on your pages, low domain authority and more).
How can I check my site’s index rate?
1. By going to Google and typing in
site:yoursite.com
and seeing how many pages show up in Google’s index.
2. If you’re experiencing ongoing issues, Pingdom offers a quality service (paid) option to monitor your website in real time.
3. For large website,
monitoring is a must
. If you experience issues with website uptime, upgrade your hosting to a private server or dedicated package.
This HTML tag is placed in between the
code on a page and gives search engines instructions on how to interpret that page specific content (NOT site wide).
For example,
lets search engines know
not
to index that page. You can also use this tag to index or noindex images, pages and follow / nofollow links on a page.
NOTE
: Don’t confuse this NOFOLLOW with the rel=”nofollow” link attribute. A “nofollow” in the
section will
no follow all links on that page
, while the rel=”nofollow” is link specific.
Why do meta robots tags
matter
?
Sloppy web development could have accidentally placed “noindex” directives on important, which would cause your site to have a low index rate.
If you have similar or duplicate content on your website, you can place “noindex” tags on 1 of those pages to avoid duplicate content penalty.
You might want to “nofollow” external links on certain pages. Search engines crawl from site to site through links, you don’t want spiders exiting powerful pages to other websites.
How can I check my site’s meta robots tags?
Dump your URL into Screaming Frog SEO Spider.
Under the “Internal” tab, scroll to the right.
You will see “Meta Robots 1” and “Meta Robots 2”.
These two columns will tell you the directives of each page on your website.
Client Side (40x) Errors
What 40x errors?
40x are “Bad Request” errors take place when the request sent to the web server, fails.
There are a number of client side errors that can occur (401, 403) but the most common is a 404 error, which generally happens when traffic is directed to a page that no longer exists.
General rule of thumb, anytime your website isn’t rendering properly for visitors, this is a bad thing.
404 errors in particular go against
SEO best practices
. When deleting or moving pages, we want to make sure the proper steps have been taken to ensure a proper user experience (UX) and minimal loss of inbound link equity.
404 pages with inbound links or
significant inbound traffic
should be 301 (permanently redirected) to a similar piece of content on your site.
How can I check my site’s 40x errors?
Log into your Google Search Console.
Navigate to Crawl > Crawl Errors.
You will see a list of 4ox errors occurring on your site.
Are these pages you meant to delete? Do they have inbound links pointing to them? Traffic? Consider setting up 301 redirects to manage them.
Client Side (50x) Errors
What 50x errors?
When failure to render a page falls on the server.
A large spike in these errors could point to an inability for your web hosting and server to manage the requirements of your website, resulting in downtime for visitors.
How can I check my site’s 50x errors?
Log into your Google Search Console.
Navigate to Crawl > Crawl Errors > Other.
You will see a list of 5ox errors occurring on your site (if applicable).
HTML Sitemap Check
What is an HTML sitemap?
A sitemap that lives on a web page, not an XML file.
Why do HTML sitemaps matter?
HTML sitemaps provide an easily navigable view for website users.
In addition, they provide a page that can evenly distribute equity to deep and less crawled pages on your website.
An XML file that helps search engines better crawl and understand your website.
Why do XML sitemaps matter?
They help improve indexation of your website.
You’re able to set a “crawl budget”, i.e. the importance of each page / page type on your website. This is especially important for massive (10K+ pages) websites that want to give preference to set of pages for search engine crawl time.
It helps protect your website against duplicate content. Getting a page indexed and list in your sitemap will give you ownership over it.
How can I check if my site has an XML sitemap?
Visit
yoursite.com/sitemap.xml –
do you have one listed?
In Google Search Console, navigate to Crawl > Sitemaps.
Here you can view your sitemap or submit one.
For WordPress sites, there are dozens of plugins to help you create one.
Extensions of your root domain that you can use for a number purposes:
Hosting content
– setting up a blog –
blog.yourdomain.com.
Testing
– a place to test offline content before pushing live to your final domain –
staging.yoursite.com.
Private content
– we use
training.webris.org
to host internal training content for staff members.
Why do subdomains matter?
They should be integrated into your SEO strategy. For example:
blog.yoursite.com
should be set to “index” and have it’s own set of directives (robots.txt and sitemap.xml) for proper search engine indexation.
staging.yoursite.com should be set to “noindex” to avoid duplicate content penalties and searchers stumbling on content that wasn’t approved to go live yet.
The structure of your website is incredibly important for search engines to properly rank it. This section covers the necessary checks to ensure it’s setup properly.
Check for Breadcrumbs
What are breadcrumbs?
A trail, or secondary navigation, clearly visible to website users to help them navigate your website.
Why do breadcrumbs matter?
Search engines crawl from page to page through links. Breadcrumbs enforce page hierarchy and navigation to search engines.
Breadcrumbs also help users to navigate content, particularly on eCommerce websites with a number of product categories and high page depth.
If you have a content heavy website, users can get lost deep in your site. Breadcrumbs help to easily find their place and continue browsing, without having to use the top level navigation to return.
This check is better for eCommerce sites, less important for smaller sites with low pages.
How can I check my site’s breadcrumbs?
If you have breadcrumbs enabled, you should see them appear underneath your navigation as you dive deep into your site.
Not every website needs breadcrumbs
, but
content heavy and eCommerce websites
should always have them setup.
TLNs have a tremendous impact on both
search indexation
and the overall user experience.
Users want a logical, easy to use and find menu that clearly directs them where they need to go.
Search engines want the same thing – your top pages should be linked to from the TLN, whether that’s a dedicated section or a drop down depends on the amount of content on your website.
How can I analyze my site’s TLN?
Are your target pages linked to from your TLN?
Are you using SEO optimized titles in your TLN?
Is your TLN well organized for user’s to find what they need with
minimal
clicks?
Your TLN should be coded in HTML, NOT JS!
Footer Analysis
Why do footers matter?
You can’t link to every page on your website from your TLN (unless you have a small website).
Footers provide a great opportunity to pass equity to various pages or sections on your website.
How can I analyze my site’s footer?
It really depends on your website’s goals, niche and depth of pages.
Generally speaking, I like to use the footer to link to important, non sales pages.
Google’s latest update looks hard at the quality and depth of content on your website to ensure that you’re a legitimate, functioning business.
FAQ, locations page, privacy policy, careers, HTML sitemap and other pages important pages that search engines look for to determine the quality of your website.
It’s important to get these pages crawled by search engines, the footer is the best place to show search engines that these pages are an important part of your website.
Site Depth Check
What is site depth / structure?
This refers to the number of ‘clicks’ your pages are away from the starting URL.
Why does site depth / structure matter?
Both search engines and users shouldn’t have to click 1,000 times to get to important content on your website.
General SEO best practices state to keep important contnet (i.e. pages you want to rank) within 4 click of the starting URL (i.e. your home page).
Basically what that means is target pages should be easily accessible from top level nav, footer or located within a few clicks of these pages.
How can I analyze site depth / structure?
In Screaming Frog, run a crawl of your website.
All the way to the right, click on “Site Structure”.
You will see stats about how many pages you have and their depth from the starting URL.
Analyze which pages are over 3 clicks and decide if there’s a better place for them to live within your website.
3.
URL Analysis
This section is dedicated entirely to analyzing a website’s URLs for proper optimization. The entire analysis will be done using Screaming Frog SEO Spider for analysis.
URL Delimiter Check
What are hyphens in the URL?
The default URL structure should use hyphens (” – “). For example:
Good
: http://yoursite.com/miami-seo-professionals/
Bad
: http://yoursite.com/miami_seo_professionals/
Using _ or , as your URL structure causes search engines to read URL strings wrong.
Search engines read – as spaces. Using them ensures your content will be read the right way.
How can I check my URLs?
In Screaming Frog, run a crawl of your website.
Set the tab to “URI”.
In the search bar, enter “_”.
Filter the results to see if your URLs contain underscores.
NOTE: you can also export your crawl to Excel for better filtering and analysis.
URL Friendliness
What is URL friendliness?
URLs should be structured (when possible) to be clean, short, memorable and shareable.
Why does URL friendliness matter?
User experience signals (SERP click through rate in particular) are increasingly important ranking factors. Short, clean and readable URLs drive more SERP clicks than non friendly URLs.
It could be a CMS issue forcing URLs into unfriendly states. If URLs are human generated, you should recommend creating a URL structuring guide for those pushing URLs live to ensure friendliness going forward.
Consider changing extremely unfriendly for cleaner ones, 301 redirect old into the new.
Absolute vs. Relative URLs
What are absolute and relative URLs?
Relative URLs are often used by web developers as shorthand to code internal links on a website. They do not contain the full URL, but still link to the destination page.
Absolute URLs contain the full URL string when linking internally to another page.
Why does this matter?
Relative URLs are SLIGHTLY better for page loading times and easier for developers when coding HTML.
Absolute URLs are better for SEO as they contain the full URL string, better optimized for search engine crawling.
How can I check my URLs?
On any given page on the website, right click and select “view source code”.
This is the biggest section on the audit. It covers how to analyze individual pages in bulk to uncover issues with the site.
Meta 'hreflang' (used SF signal: 'hreflang=')
What is Meta “hreflang”?
Signals to Google which language is being used on a page.
Why does Meta “hreflang” matter?
If you have content in different languages on your website, you want to make sure that the appropriate page is served to the searcher based on what language they’re using.
Results will be served based on location.
Ex. spanish pages with hreflang=es will be served to IP addresses in Spanish speaking countries.
How can I check for Meta “hreflang” on my site?
Right click + “View Page Source”.
Search HTML for reflang markup (
)
Authorship markup (rel='author' or rel='me')
What is Authorship markup?
Shows a rich snippet of the author in the SERP.
Attributes content on a page or post to a particular author (i.e. digital signature)
Why does authorship markup matter?
Currently Google has suspended authorship markup; however may bring it back in future.
This markup connects the entire website to the publisher.
While they can be used mutually exclusive, publisher markup is for companies and authorship markup is for individuals.
Similar to how authorship markup shows a picture of the author as a rich snippet, publisher markup shows a summary of the companies google plus page on the right hand side of the screen when someone searches for the company by name.
Why does Publisher markup matter?
It good for branding as the searcher will get a snapshot of your company’s name, logo, address, pictures and reviews.
How can I check if I have Publisher markup?
Verify that your website is connected to your business google plus page.
Check the
section of your website for this code

What is structured data markup
A snippet of code (HTML) located in the
tag that instructs search engines what your page is about.
These markups come in different forms (local business, video, etc) and should be used based on your website and content type.
Why does structured data markup matter?
It makes it easier for Googlebot to get to the meat of what your page is about without having to read complex code.
For product reviews, having a rich snippet show up on the SERP with stars, which greatly increases click through rate.
The place where important, topical related content appears on the page.
Why does key content location matter?
Search engines read content from top to bottom. Topically related content should be mentioned near the top of the page to give the page the most relevancy for the desired topic.
Your main keyword should be in the h1 tag and LSI variations of keyword should be placed in h2, h3 (when appropriate) without overtly keyword stuffing.
How can I check the key content location?
Right click + “view page source” and search the h1, h2 and h3 tags
Use the “find” feature on a webpage to view the location of keywords on the page.
Editorial Strength
What is editorial strength
The quality of the content being published (length, authoritative, informative).
Content that is well written, robust and properly optimized will index quicker and rank better in search.
Conversely, thin content, duplicate content or keyword stuffed content will not rank well and runs the risk of penalty and/or deindexing.
How can I check the editorial strength of my content?
Use Grammarly to check for grammar errors.
Use a free online word counter tool to check how many words are in an article and compare that to existing content that’s performing well in the space.
Use a keyword density checker like
SEO Centr
o to make sure you’re not over optimizing any keywords.
If you’ve outsourced content, run it through Copyscape or at the very least, copy and paste an entire paragraph into Google search to make sure it’s not published anywhere else on the net.
Pages With Thin Content
What is thin content?
Pages on a site with very little text and/or without rich media.
Pages that serve little to no value to the end user.
Why does having thin content pages matter?
Creates a bad user experience and lower your sites quality score.

.
Even if they do index, they have very little value and rank poorly.
How can I check for thin content pages?
Open Screaming Frog and enter the domain.
Scroll over to the right to find “Word Count” and look for pages with less than 300 words (outside of trivial pages ie. contact, about).
Consider no-indexing these low value pages.
Image Location
What is image location?
Where images on a page are hosted.
Why is image location important?
Images can be found in search on the web. If someone finds your image you want the path to direct them to your site.
If you’re hosting images on a third party site and that site is terminated, you’ll lose the images on your site.
How can I find the image location?
To check images on a page, hover your cursor over the image. The image url will appear in the lower left hand side of your screen.
To check images on multiple pages, use Screaming Frog “Images” tab.
Image Sizes
What is image size?
The file size of an image (measured in kilobyte).
Why is it important to have images < 100 kb?
Larger image sizes slow load time on a page.
Slow load time leads to bad user experience having to wait for images to render.
Large image files take up unnecessary space on your server.
How can I check the file size of images?
For individual images, right clicking on an image and viewing properties/info.
To bulk check images, use Screaming Frog “Images” tab and filter by “Over 100 kb”.
Use an image editing software to decrease large image files before uploading to site.
Use of Image ALT Tags
What is alt attributes/text?
When applied to images, the alt text will appear in it’s place when an image fails to render and gives a description of the image.
Why is it important to use alt text?
While it’s not recommended to stuff keywords into the alt text, it is place where you can add relevant keywords for SEO purposes.
Search engines are unable to crawl images therefore unable to determine what the image is or deliver it in search queries without alt text.
How can I check if images have alt text?
To check alt text of an individual image, right click on the image and view image info.
To bulk check alt text, use Screaming Frog “Images” and filter by “Missing Alt Text” to view the images without alt text.

How can I check for duplicate
tags?
Screaming Frog
Title Tag Length
What are optimized title tags?
Having less than 65 characters in the title tag.
Why does character size matter?

How can I check for title character size?
Screaming frog
Missing Meta Descriptions
What are missing meta descriptions?
When you don’t enter your own meta description, Google takes what it thinks is the most descriptive part of the content and uses it for the snippet to show users in the SERP.
Why do meta descriptions matter?
While filling out the meta description has become less important to tell the search engines what your page is about, it’s still a good place to put in keyword phrases and language that will elicit a click from the user.

302 redirects
What is a 302 redirect?
Tells search engines that a page has been moved temporarily.
Why do 302 redirects matter?
302 redirects do not pass SEO equity, meaning if you redirect a page, the link value does not pass through.
It may prevent content on the new url from indexing because Google believes at some point you will revert back to the redirected url.

The breakdown of all the technical details just reinforces that Im on the right track but you just expand on what im doing ten fold, so Yoink! ill just be adding these extra skills thank you very much.
Thank you so much for this comprehensive guide, and the awesome template; really helpful.
I’ve got a tiny little question: what do you mean by “Not addressed” status of the Legacy Condition? I am not a native speaker, and the meaning is a little unclear to me. Does it mean something like “not applicable” or something?
I understand, so Legacy Condition – Not Adressed means that certain issues do not apply in some cases, like Video XML Sitemaps for a text & images website, such as a blog or a basic ecommerce site. Is that correct?
As usual, very good information Ryan! Everything I have seen on this blog is spectacular, and you have the whole entire SEO checklist here!
Like how you formatted it, but I have a question concerning checklist quality. Some SEO audit companies advertise their audits as “specialized and unique towards your company”, and that it takes 30-45 days to do it.
I guess this is the justification for price and time. But am I wrong? Do these SEO audit companies have in-depth engineering analytics that I don’t know about? Because from the looks of this post, it looks doable and at most mildly confusing.
no – they dont. SEO audits are tough in that they take a lot of time, but more importantly they take a lot of time of someone with a lot of knowledge. in order to run this audit, you have to have context into using tools, understanding the inner workings of a website and then be able to make the right recommendations to fix them. when you do this on a huge site, it gets expnsive and time consuming.
Great work! Used this for my SEO Technical Assessment and inspiration for developing further standards for launching new sites or setting up other sites for SEO success.
Used along with data, optimization for conversions and testing this provides real value for my work. Thanks agian!
Amazing information Ryan! Do you have a video for this? I was wondering if you type all these details manually in the sheet or if you integrate data from various tools like you showed in your content audit video.
Amazing information Ryan! Everyday will be a learning day and today I learn very important information related to SEO. It will defiantly help me to improve my knowledage and working in the field of SEO.
Just Amazing information at a glance.After a long time, I find out this SEO resources that will help me to achieve my goal. Many many thanks for creating this awesome advanced level technical SEO Guide.
Thank you for sharing your practical experience all over the world in the favor of learning technial SEO. I read you blog daily and find awesome interesting facts that i could not find anywhere. Now i am being able to learn SEO from you. But one thing I could not able to download the templates. Please Help me. Keep up good working 🙂
Hey Ryan, seriously awesome stuff. I have a huge audit to do and trying to get the google sheets link sent over and it’s not working. I tried to email addresses. Can you help me get the link to the sheets template?
Hi Ryan, your SEO Audit report is really awesome and very helpful. I got a thorough knowledge from this. Also ins and outs you have mentioned with examples are great. Just in one place, i noticed a typo, you can clarify that… “General SEO best practices state to keep important contnet (i.e. pages you want to rank) within 4 click of the starting URL (i.e. your home page).” — here ‘contnet’ is the typo which will be will be ‘content’ 🙂
Dear Ryan Stewart,
I absolutely thank you for the bottom of my heart for providing such a superb “SEO Audit Report” outline. It is very thorough and clear and easy to read and follow.
This is absolutely the best SEO Audit Report I have every seen.
Thank you for putting many hours in researching & typing.
I give you 5 stars.
God Bless you,
Rassin Roshan, Plano, TX
Ryan, This is incred!ble.. I have 3 years of experience in SEO and Digital Marketing, I have never seen such a useful Site Audit information before. Hats off!
Fantastic Stuff. You have provided information in a very well manner. I know for this you should have done enough research and you have years of knowledge with that you have provided in very short and in a clean and clear way. We have got a readymade thing.

And one more thing there is a lot of spelling and grammar mistake in your blog if you like me to help you, you are most welcome.
And, do this comment section should me put up on comments so the user should not have to navigate all the way to bottom. (generally telling I don’t know this is right or wrong)
Great content Ryan! Usefull check list.
A little tip: in mobile view i go top and bottm on Page when collaps panels…
But a little effort for great content 🙂
There is a spelling mistake in the word content in the “Site Depth Check” (3rd Bullet Point).
Thank You for this wonderful guide to help understand SEO the best. It literally helping a lot to perform better with my existing projects and in my seo training program.
Hey Ryan,
This is great information. I would only recommend updating the Search Console images since they are now different. This way it makes it easier to find.
Awesome content you shared about technical SEO Audit, I have 6+ years of experience in SEO and Digital Marketing, I have never seen such a useful SEO audit information before. Too much information about the technical audit. Please keep sharing more such awesome content. Hats off!
Thanks for this amazing checklist, really helps a lot, I would really appreciate it if you could share a video link if you already have a video made on this template or if you haven’t I would request you to create one as I have seen there are a few variations from the old sheet to this updated one and I’m still confused.
Thanks so much for this! I’ve been using it for years. Has there been an update to the doc though? There seems to be a huge section missing on on-page, social media etc. Thanks!
