Technical SEO Audit UK
Technical SEO problems can prevent search engines from discovering, crawling, indexing and correctly interpreting important website content. These issues may affect organic search visibility, website performance and the ability of search and AI systems to access your information.
CGO Media provides professional technical SEO audits for UK businesses, from focused assessments of smaller websites to comprehensive technical investigations covering complex website architecture, structured data, crawling, indexability, performance and AI-search accessibility.
Choose a Standard Technical SEO Audit for £195 + VAT, covering websites of up to 100 pages, or a Comprehensive Technical SEO & AI Search Audit for £1,995 + VAT, covering websites of up to 5,000 pages.
Both packages provide actionable findings and prioritised recommendations. The comprehensive package also includes an implementation roadmap and a 60-minute consultation. Its £1,995 audit fee can be credited against the first month's fees of an eligible ongoing SEO, AI Search or GEO engagement, subject to the published conditions.

Evidence is selected according to the audit scope and the technical problems identified.
Both PackagesTechnical Implementation Roadmap

This helps internal developers, marketing teams or external implementation partners plan corrective work.
Comprehensive AuditAI Search Technical Assessment

The comprehensive assessment may cover crawler permissions, rendering, structured data, content accessibility and technical entity consistency.

How much does a technical SEO audit cost?
CGO Media offers two fixed-price packages: the Standard Technical SEO Audit at £195 + VAT and the Comprehensive Technical SEO & AI Search Audit at £1,995 + VAT. The packages differ in website size, analytical depth and deliverables.
Is VAT included in the advertised price?
No. Prices are advertised excluding VAT. Any VAT legally applicable to your purchase will be calculated and displayed during WooCommerce checkout.
How many website pages are included?
The Standard Audit covers websites of up to 100 pages. The Comprehensive Audit covers websites of up to 5,000 pages. Larger or unusually complex websites may require a bespoke quotation.
How do I purchase an audit?

How long does the audit take?
The target delivery period is 3–5 working days for the Standard Audit and 7–10 working days for the Comprehensive Audit. Delivery periods begin after payment confirmation and receipt of the necessary information and access.
Do you need access to my website?
Many technical checks can be completed using publicly accessible website information. However, certain investigations may benefit from access to Google Search Console, analytics, server logs or other relevant technical systems.
CGO Media will explain any additional access requirements. Do not send passwords through ordinary email; use an approved secure access-sharing method.
Will the audit fix the problems identified?
No. Both packages provide technical assessment and recommendations. Website development, technical corrections and implementation work are not included in the audit purchase.
Implementation can be discussed separately through our Technical SEO services .
Does the audit include AI Search and GEO?
The Standard Audit includes basic AI crawler accessibility checks. The Comprehensive Audit includes a more detailed technical assessment of AI crawler accessibility, content retrieval, rendering and relevant technical AI Search readiness factors.
Technical accessibility does not guarantee inclusion or citation within AI-generated answers.
What is included in the £1,995 audit credit?
If you purchase the Comprehensive Audit and commission an eligible ongoing SEO, AI Search or GEO service agreement within 60 days of audit delivery, the £1,995 audit fee may be credited against the first month's service fees.
The credit is applied once, cannot exceed the first month's eligible service fee and has no cash value. It does not constitute a refund of the audit purchase.
Can you audit WordPress, Shopify or other platforms?
Yes. Technical SEO principles apply across many content management systems, ecommerce platforms and custom-built websites. The exact assessment depends on the website's architecture, available access and the selected audit package.
Will a technical SEO audit improve my rankings?
A technical SEO audit identifies issues that may restrict search visibility and provides recommendations for addressing them. Implementing appropriate corrections can improve technical accessibility and website quality, but rankings and traffic outcomes cannot be guaranteed.
What happens if my website needs a larger audit?
Websites exceeding the published page limits, or requiring extensive international, JavaScript, ecommerce or enterprise investigation, may require a customised audit.
Please contact CGO Media to discuss your requirements before purchasing a fixed-price package.
