SEO audit: website of a regional plumbing company

Summary

AreaScoreMain issue
Indexing and crawlingNeeds work38 blog tags pages indexed, thin content
Technical healthFairMobile load time 4.8 s on service pages

ContentFairBlog traffic is high, but posts do not link to services

Findings (excerpt)

1. Duplicate and weak titles (high priority)

11 service pages use the pattern "Plumbing Services | Northgate". Searchers and search engines cannot tell "boiler repair" from "drain unblocking".

PageCurrent titleSuggested title
/boiler-repairPlumbing Services, NorthgateBoiler Repair in [City], Same-Day Callout, Northgate
/blocked-drainsPlumbing Services, NorthgateBlocked Drains Cleared in [City] from £89, Northgate

2. Town pages are near duplicates (high priority)

The 7 town pages are 94% identical text. Each needs at least 250 words unique to that town: areas covered, typical jobs there, travel time, a local customer review.

3. Slow service pages on mobile (medium)

Hero images average 1.9 MB. Compressing to WebP and setting width to 1,200 px would bring load time to about 2.5 s.

4. Blog does not pass value to services (medium)

The top 10 posts get 62% of organic visits, but only 2 of them link to a service page. "Why is my boiler losing pressure?" alone gets about 1,100 visits a month and links nowhere.

5. Tag pages indexed (low)

38 /tag/ pages with 1–3 posts each. Set them to noindex.

About this service

When several writers publish to the same site, on-page basics drift: one fills in the SEO title, another leaves the default, images go up as IMG_4021.jpg and every post links only to the home page. We write a checklist your editors run before pressing publish, built around your CMS and SEO plugin: which fields to fill and how, length limits, heading rules, image names and alt text, internal links, URL slugs and categories. It fits on one or two pages and uses the field names your team actually sees.

What is included

  • What you getA pre-publish SEO checklist for your editors, written for your CMS and SEO plugin with field names, limits and good and bad examples, plus a short page on common mistakes to avoid.
  • Your fieldsSteps named as in your CMS and plugin
  • Limits and rulesTitle length, headings, slugs
  • ImagesFile names, size and alt text
  • Links and taxonomyInternal links, categories and tags

What we need from you

Your CMS and SEO plugin, the content types your team publishes (posts, product pages, news), a link to a typical published page and the mistakes you see most.

We will ask you:

  • Which CMS and SEO plugin does your team use?
  • Which content types should the checklist cover?
  • What mistakes do editors make most often?

Questions and answers

Can the checklist go into our style guide?

Yes. It is plain text with headings and checkboxes, easy to paste into a wiki, Notion or your style guide.

Do we need to follow the plugin's green light?

No. The checklist explains which plugin hints matter and which can be ignored, such as forcing the keyword into every paragraph.

Is this the same as the SEO notes for writers?

No. This is a short publish-time checklist for the CMS. The writer notes explain how to plan and write content for search.
