When you prepare an SEO audit it is easy to drown in dozens of spreadsheets. Focusing on the priority checks lets you deliver immediately actionable answers to the client.
1. Inspect the main meta tags
Use Meta Audit to verify title, description, and social tags. The tool highlights duplicates, length issues, and any missing values.
2. Review the XML sitemaps
- With Sitemap Viewer make sure the main sitemap is reachable and up to date.
- Use Sitemap Generator if you need to quickly create a file to pass on to the technical team.
3. Track down blocked resources and broken links
Broken Links helps you locate URLs returning 4xx or 5xx errors, while Resource Check ensures critical JS and CSS can be downloaded without being blocked by robots.txt.
Finally, test the mobile version with Mobile Check to avoid surprises in how content renders.
