What You Really Need:
A Clear, Human SEO Audit
No guesswork. No bloated reports. Just expert insight, simple recommendations, and support that fits your budget.
Let’s make sure your website is working as hard as you are.
At Smart Searcher, we cut through the noise with a small business SEO audit UK service designed specifically for small and local businesses. No fluff. No confusing lingo. Just a straightforward, honest look at your website - and exactly what’s holding it back.
We know that as a small business owner, you don’t have time to decode complex SEO jargon or chase every new trend. That’s why our audits focus on what actually matters: helping your website get found, attracting the right kind of visitors, and turning those clicks into real leads or customers.
Our SEO website audit is practical, easy to understand, and tailored to your unique business goals. Whether you’re dealing with slow page speeds, weak keyword targeting, or technical errors you didn’t even know existed - we uncover the issues, explain them clearly, and give you a roadmap to fix them.
What is Included in Your Website Audit
Your website performance audit is broken down into key areas — so you know exactly where your site stands and what’s holding it back.
Technical SEO Health Check
We look under the hood at:
Page speed & load times
Indexing issues
Core Web Vitals
Broken links and crawl errors
These factors might seem minor, but they impact whether Google shows your site - or skips over it entirely.
On Page SEO & Site Structure
We examine:
-
Page titles, headers, and meta descriptions
-
URL structures
-
Contact Pages
This is where your visibility can leap forward - with a few smart fixes.
Keyword & Content Review
We assess:
-
What keywords you’re ranking for
-
What your audience is actually searching
-
Gaps in your content that could attract more traffic
This section helps you stop guessing and start targeting keywords that matter.
Backlink & Authority Scan
We check:
-
Your domain authority
-
Trust signals Google looks for
-
External sites linking back to you (and if they’re helping or hurting)
-
Toxic or spammy backlinks
Authority isn’t just for big brands - and small business websites can compete too, with the right foundations.
Clear, Prioritised Recommendations
You’ll receive:
-
A full audit report (written in plain English)
-
A call to talk through key findings
-
A to-do list with high-impact, easy-to-implement fixes
-
Optional ongoing SEO support (only if you want it — no pressure)
Why You're Not Showing Up Online
You’ve invested in your website - maybe even dabbled in SEO. But the results? Inconsistent at best. You’re not ranking. You’re not getting leads. And you’re tired of trying to “figure it out.”
-
You’re unsure if your site is even visible on Google
-
You’ve used online tools, but they’re confusing or too vague
-
You’ve had agencies pitch you, but it all felt like smoke and mirrors
-
You’ve been told to “just post more content” but… nothing’s changing
-
You suspect something’s wrong, but don’t know what
That uncertainty is draining. And worse, it's costing you opportunities - every single day your site underperforms.

I was amazed at Josh's audit. He really cares about making a difference for his customers, and took the time to explain his audit and lay out how I could increase traffic to our website. I would highly recommend him.
Richard Falkus-Holder - Swings & Smiles
Loved working with Josh. Transparent and within one month of Josh getting his hands on our website, rankings have improved for several keywords and we have had our first enquiry ever for Outsourced Credit Control on the back of a Google Search. Effective SEO solutions tailored just for us.
