SEO Audit
An SEO site check-up is a smart way to keep track of your progress

Here at Kia Ora, we have the know-how and the experience to help you hit your business goals by growing your organic search visibility.

Regular performance reviews let us check in on your progress, so we can fine-tune and tighten your campaign and make sure momentum never slows. And don’t worry: we’ll keep you in the loop the whole way through, helping you decode SEO so your results make complete sense.

SEO Audit

What SEO issues should you watch for?

Because Google updates its algorithms constantly, you may have picked up SEO penalties without even knowing it, and that could be holding back your progress. Our team of SEO checkers stays current with every search engine rule, pattern, and trend, so you’re never caught off guard. Some of the most common technical SEO issues include:

Duplicate content

Google rewards unique content that’s built around the needs of your audience. When you copy and paste the same text across multiple parts of your website, Google reads that as lazy. Any duplicated text automatically drags down the ranking of the pages involved (this is called cannibalization). It’s always better to start fresh with unique, original content. That’s what builds trust and a genuine following with your audience.

Keyword stuffing

SEO has long moved past packing in as many keywords as possible. Google now puts the emphasis on a valuable user experience. If your content is overloaded with keywords crammed into a small space, it reads poorly, and it earns an automatic penalty from Google.

Slow site speed

When a page is slow to load, visitors lose patience and bounce off to another website. That’s a poor user experience. Google notices this when it measures your Core Web Vitals and uses the data to rank your site accordingly. We offer speed optimisation services so you can keep that from happening.

Not mobile-friendly

Is your site mobile-friendly with a responsive design? These days, most people browse the web on their phone. That means your site has to be easy to navigate across a range of devices. If your page or online store loads slowly on mobile, you’ll lose the bulk of your audience.

Images

Have your images been optimised for the web? If they aren’t search-friendly or they load slowly, that can take a real toll on your Core Web Vitals and the overall user experience on your site. This applies to features like sliders and banners too.

Messy URLs

Are your URLs SEO-friendly, and do they actually use your keywords? Or are they tangled and longwinded?

Poor navigation and broken links

How easy is your site to get around? Are there dead links that no longer work? Google reviews your content to confirm it’s timely, relevant, and current. If you haven’t kept your links up to date, that can hurt your site’s ranking.
