  1. Read the page like a visitor

    Open the page and read the main heading and intro to confirm the topic is clear.

  2. Check title and description

    Confirm the title tag and meta description match the topic and would earn a click in search results.

  3. Review headings (H1/H2/H3)

    Scan headings to ensure the content is structured into logical sections.

  4. Look for internal links

    Verify the page links to related pages, services or supporting content so it is not isolated.

  5. Check images and basics

    Review image presence and, where relevant, alt text—then sanity-check crawlability signals like robots.txt.

  6. Run an automated scan

    Use a website analyzer to collect titles, meta tags, headings, images and link counts in one report.

Common SEO Issues You Might Find

  • Missing or duplicated title tags across different pages.
  • Empty or overly generic meta descriptions that do not encourage clicks.
  • Multiple H1 headings that confuse the main topic of the page.
  • Very few internal links, leaving important pages isolated.
  • Pages that are accessible but blocked from crawling in robots.txt.
