Are you a startup getting ready to launch your presence online? How prepared are you so that day one, your site can be found, crawled & indexed in search engines?
How sure are you that your site is positioned well enough, regarding content, topical organization, helpfulness, uniqueness, quality & trust to maximize that opportunity?
Have your SEO in place before you launch
Our SEO Audits for Startups can help ensure you are prepared.
We can determine if you are, in fact, well positioned.
We can help identify the challenges you’ll face in your competitive landscape.
We can identify potential missed opportunities in your vision.
From that work, we’ll provide you with a road map to success. We’ll include all the SEO considerations relevant for your business, in your market landscape.
We’ll recommend how to best organize your content. How deep you need to go with that content in terms of topical breadth, topical focus, & overall topical helpfulness.
We’ll also ensure your site is in best shape from a technical perspective. Page speed, search & LLM crawler friendliness, topical structure at the technical level, & beyond.
Can’t we get SEO after we launch our site?
Too often, startup owners come to us, saying “we launched our site three months ago, but we’re not seeing any results”.
Here’s where Alan Bleiweiss, our founder & lead auditor, goes to work.
According to Alan, “When I do an audit, most of the time I find a mix of good work & bad, some basic things done well, too many things not done well enough. Sometimes, its’ a complete train-wreck”
That ends up requiring anything from a few weeks of reworking content, to complete reorganization of the entire site, to a complete rebuild from the ground up, and everything in between.
Sure, it’s entirely possible our audit won’t reveal any problems or issues warranting immediate action.
Except Alan has been doing audits for 19 years & that has only happened once out of the hundreds of audits he’s done.
SEO Audits for Startups — The Cost
How much an audit costs for a startup depends on several factors.
- The size of your business
- The primary intent of your site (commercial, informational, educational, etc.)
- How many products or services you offer, if you offer any at all
- What your key demographics are
- The general scale & depth of the competitive landscape
- Your desired timeline for growth & at what scale
- Other considerations such as odd or unique features or functionality you envision for the site
All of these weigh in on the cost.
Having said that, pricing for an SEO audit for your startup, generally starts around $2,500 and can go up from there.
Going Further — Topical Depth for SEO & LLM Signal Strength
If you need us to also perform extensive keyword research around topical depth, such as where you may want to be sure your’e being super-helpful to visitors, or you want to gain more visibility in any of the various AI “answer engines” such as ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, Perplexity or others, we can also provide separate SEO Topical Depth Audits.
In our topical depth audits, we do more than a typical industry “content gap analysis”.
- This being a truly strategic evaluation, we look at what people already want, or need, & the questions they have when they’re looking for answers.
- We look at how you currently communicate the information people want or need, from an overall signal-strength & signal-reinforcement perspective.
- We focus on ensuring you have diversity of content around the most valuable opportunities available in your market.
