Reveal Hidden SEO Barriers with a
Forensic SEO Audit
Your current SEO performance might be hiding costly issues ineffective keywords, structural blockers, and unoptimised intent pathways.Our forensic SEO audit uncovers these hidden problems and delivers a revenue-aligned roadmap with prioritised fixes not another PDF you toss aside.
Why High-Growth Teams Start With a Forensic SEO Audit
Most SEO efforts fail because teams jump straight into execution without understanding what actually drives results.
A forensic SEO audit removes guesswork. It identifies where your site is leaking demand, which opportunities are being missed, and what actions will create the biggest impact first. Instead of fixing everything, you fix the right things.
At DripRanks, our audits are designed to uncover revenue-impacting opportunities, not just surface-level SEO issues. Every insight feeds directly into a scalable SEO system not a one-off checklist.
What You Get With Our Forensic SEO Audit
Not a report. A diagnostic system that shows exactly what’s broken, what matters most, and what will move revenue first.
Full Technical Health Report
We analyse how search engines actually experience your site crawling, indexing, rendering, and performance. This reveals hidden technical constraints that quietly suppress rankings, traffic quality, and scalability.
On-Page & Content Audit
We evaluate how each page aligns with real search intent across the buyer journey. This exposes where content attracts traffic without conversions and where intent mismatches are blocking pipeline.
Backlink & Authority Analysis
Your backlink profile is assessed as a trust system identifying authority gaps, dilution, and risk that impact rankings and long-term compounding growth.
Competitor & Opportunity Mapping
We reverse-engineer competitor performance to uncover ranking gaps, missed intent, and high-impact opportunities prioritising wins that can be captured without brute-force content or links.
UX & Conversion Friction Review
We identify usability, speed, and experience issues that cause qualified visitors to stall or exit directly connecting SEO visibility to conversion performance.
Action Plan & Growth Roadmap
Every insight is translated into a prioritised execution roadmap ranked by impact, effort, and compounding return — so your team knows exactly what to fix first and why.
The Forensic Method: How We Turn Chaos Into Clarity
Revenue Before Rankings
Every insight is filtered through one question: will this drive qualified pipeline? Rankings matter only when they create business impact.
Human Judgment Over Automation
Tools surface data. Strategists surface meaning. Every audit is manually reviewed to uncover patterns automation can’t detect.
Systems, Not Isolated Fixes
We analyse how issues interact across technical, content, and authority layers — because isolated fixes don’t create lasting growth.
Prioritised by ROI
You don’t get exhaustive lists. You get the few actions that matter most ranked by impact, effort, and compounding return.
Built for Execution
Insights live inside your workflow, not a forgotten PDF. The audit is designed to be acted on immediately.

FAQs
Frequently Asked Question
This audit is for SaaS, B2B, and agency teams that treat SEO as a growth lever — not a side project.
You’re a strong fit if:
You’re getting traffic but not pipeline (and don’t know why)
You’ve invested in SEO with unclear ROI
You need a clear, prioritized roadmap tied to outcomes
You want a system that scales without scaling headcount
Not a fit if:
You want a DIY checklist with no strategy
You expect results in 30 days without investment
You only want “more traffic” regardless of conversion quality
You’re optimizing for the cheapest option
Most audits are automated scans that generate long issue lists without context. Ours is a forensic, manual audit led by senior strategists.
What’s different:
System-level thinking: we connect technical, content, and authority constraints
Revenue-first lens: every finding is filtered through “will this drive qualified demand?”
Prioritized by ROI: you get a focused set of high-impact priorities, not a backlog
Built for execution: the output is structured to be implemented, not archived
Feeds your system: insights connect directly into content strategy and automation
That’s often the best scenario. Common reasons teams bring us in:
Second opinion: work is happening but results aren’t material
New leadership: you inherited SEO and need clarity fast
Strategic alignment: tactics are being executed but there’s no unified roadmap tied to pipeline
We assess what’s working, what’s missing, and where resources should focus next without politics.
Most audits are delivered in 7–10 business days from kickoff, depending on site size and complexity.
Typical flow:
Kickoff + access setup
Deep diagnostic analysis (manual + tools)
Strategic prioritisation and roadmap build
Delivery + live walkthrough
We don’t rush the diagnosis the value is in the prioritisation and system-level thinking.
You receive an action-ready roadmap in a practical format your team can use. It includes:
Prioritised actions with clear sequencing
Dependencies (what must happen first)
Implementation notes and decision logic
What success looks like (so execution is measurable)
You also get a walkthrough session so your team leaves with clarity, not questions.
We score recommendations across:
Impact: visibility, traffic quality, pipeline contribution
Effort: resources, complexity, dependencies
Velocity: quick wins vs compounding plays
Then we group actions into tiers:
Critical: fixes that unblock everything else
High-impact: actions that drive compounding growth
Optimization: refinements that amplify what’s working
You’ll see why each priority matters and what happens if it’s ignored.
The audit is designed to be the foundation of your SEO system. From there you can choose:
Execute internally using the roadmap
Implement with DripRanks (technical, content, authority, automation)
Hybrid (your team owns parts; we own the rest)
Either way, the audit stands on its own it’s built for momentum and execution, not shelfware.
