# SEO Audit Checklist: What a Useful Website Review Covers

Learn what an SEO audit should check, which access it needs and how findings become a practical correction plan. Includes a checklist for comparing audit proposals.

## Quick Answer: What should an SEO audit check?

An SEO audit should examine the problem you commissioned it to resolve and produce evidence, affected URLs, priorities and validation steps. Depending on scope, it may cover crawling, indexing, page content, internal links, local information and measurement. Automated warnings require interpretation before they become recommendations.

## Questions and answers

### What makes an SEO audit report actionable?

An actionable report names the affected URL, explains the observation and recommends a correction with a completion check. Priorities should reflect customer impact and dependencies. A list of tool warnings without that interpretation can leave you unable to decide what to authorize.

### What can a free SEO checker tell me?

A checker can flag possible issues for investigation, such as repeated titles or broken links. It cannot be assumed to establish their business impact or the right correction. Use the output as a starting point and ask for evidence before commissioning changes.

### Which accounts might an SEO auditor need?

Search Console may be needed to investigate indexing and search performance; analytics can help examine recorded visits and actions. Publishing-system access may explain a setting behind an issue. Agree permissions with the auditor and document what unavailable access prevents them from verifying.

### How should an audit decide which pages belong in search?

Review each page's purpose. A service page may need indexing, while an inquiry-confirmation page may be deliberately excluded. Duplicates require a decision about the preferred version. The report should explain these choices rather than recommending that every discovered URL be indexed.
