The Audit with Fixes runs the same full seven-area review as the standalone audit, covering how well Google can access every page, whether the right pages are indexed, whether pages load fast enough, whether the right signals are in place for People Also Ask, Featured Snippets, and Google AI Overviews, whether page authority is being split across duplicates, whether internal links send authority to the right pages, and whether ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews can read your site and cite your agency.
The difference lies in what happens after the review. We deploy four hours to critical or high-severity fix implementation directly, rather than passing it to your team as a brief. For most recruitment agency sites, critical and high-severity issues actively suppress the majority of rankings. The ranking improvement that would otherwise require several weeks of internal coordination begins within the same engagement rather than after it.
Changes that require server-level access or template-level development are documented in a brief for your developer. These typically represent a small proportion of the total issue list. We fix issues that can be resolved without that level of access before the engagement closes.
What counts as a critical or high-severity issue?
Critical issues are those actively preventing Google or AI engines from reading, indexing, or ranking pages correctly: a page that cannot be indexed, a redirect sending the wrong signal, a setting blocking AI crawlers, or a duplicate content pattern suppressing a primary commercial page. High severity issues significantly reduce ranking potential without completely preventing indexation, such as slow page speed on primary templates, missing signals on high-value pages, or internal links sending authority in the wrong direction.
What is left for my team or developer to action after the engagement?
Items requiring server-level access, database-level changes, or custom template development are documented in a plain-English brief with exact specifications. For most recruitment agency sites, these represent a small proportion of the total issue list. The brief specifies exactly what needs to happen and why, so your developer can implement the changes without further interpretation.
How does the Audit with Fixes differ from the standalone audit?
The standalone audit at £495 identifies every problem and provides a fix brief. Your team implements the fixes. The Audit with Fixes at £895 identifies every problem and implements four hours of critical and high-severity fixes directly.
For agencies without internal SEO resources, or those that want improvements to happen without coordination overhead, the Audit with Fixes produces the commercial result faster.
