Basic Website SEO Audit

A basic website audit is an entry-level evaluation of a website’s overall health. It identifies obvious technical, SEO, usability, and performance issues that may be limiting visibility, traffic, or conversions—without going as deep as a full or advanced audit. It’s often used as a starting point before a full SEO or technical audit.
