Where a free look has to stop.

Search is unusual in how much of it is public. Where you rank, what your listing says, how fast the site loads, who is above you: all of that can be read from outside, which is why we can look at it for nothing and still tell you something true.

What cannot be read from outside is anything behind a login. Nobody can see what an ad account is spending on, or what your analytics say people did after they arrived, without access to them.

So this is the outside view, and it is search only. It does not cover your ads, and it is not a review of the site as a piece of design.

When the answer needs the inside view, that is the paid audit, and it is a different piece of work rather than this one with a price on it. We would tell you on the call, and what it costs, before you agreed to anything.

Before you ask for itFour plain things
It really is free, and it is the only thing here that is

Everything else on this site is paid work and says so. This one is a look at what is already public about your business, written up properly, and we would rather you saw the standard of the thinking before you spend anything.

A week, and we mean a week

It takes a person a few hours to do properly and we will not send you something a tool generated in nine seconds. If it is going to be longer than a week, we tell you rather than let it go quiet.

Nothing to sit through

It arrives written down and it is yours. If you want to talk it through afterwards we will, and if you would rather just read it and never speak to us, that is a perfectly good outcome.

We need nothing from you but the address

No logins, no access to anything, no verification email to click. Everything in it is public; we are just reading it in one place and in an order that makes sense.

Not sure an audit is the thing you need? Start with a plan instead, and we will work out what is actually worth doing. Or the number is (815) 880-8676.
