Why you're not ranking, in plain English
Foundry's SEO audit service is a one-off review of your whole website, covering technical health, keywords, content, links, local listings and how AI assistants see you, and it ends in a written plan ranked by impact. It suits UK businesses that want to know why they aren't ranking before committing to monthly SEO, or that want a second opinion on their current agency. It's a fixed price agreed after a short call, and the plan is yours to use with anyone, including us.

What our SEO health check covers
An SEO health check looks at all the reasons a site does or doesn't rank, not just the technical ones.
Technical health
Indexing, crawl errors, redirects, speed and schema, summarised and ranked.
Keywords and intent
The searches your buyers make, and whether you have a page that matches each one.
Content
Thin, duplicate or out-of-date pages, and the questions you haven't answered yet.
Links and mentions
Who links to you, who links to your competitors, and the gaps worth closing.
Local
Google Business Profile, reviews and consistent details, if you serve an area.
AI search
Whether ChatGPT, Gemini and Google's AI answers name you for your main services.
Competitors
Who ranks instead of you, and what they have that you don't.
Tracking
Search Console and analytics checked, so you can measure what the fixes change.

SEO audit FAQs
Technical health, keywords, content, links, local listings, competitors and AI search, ending in a written plan ranked by impact and a walkthrough call.
A technical audit only looks at crawling, indexing, speed and code. Our SEO audit covers that plus content, keywords, links, local and AI search, so you see the whole picture.
It depends on the size of the site. We give you a fixed price in writing after a short call.
No. The plan is yours. Use it yourself, give it to your developer, or ask us to do the work.
Yes. It's a common reason people ask. We'll be fair about what's working as well as what isn't.
Tools are good at spotting technical errors. They can't tell you which pages your buyers need, why a competitor outranks you or which fix matters most. That's the part we add.
