Website Audit Services: What to Measure Before a Redesign

Audit the website before redesigning it.

A redesign can improve the look of a site while preserving the same SEO, accessibility, speed, and conversion problems. A website audit protects the business from redesigning around guesses.

• Measure crawlability, headings, titles, internal links, and broken routes.
• Check speed, mobile usability, accessibility, and image quality.
• Review whether service pages make the next action clear.

The audit should separate what search engines need, what visitors need, and what the business needs to measure. Those are related, but they are not the same problem.

What the audit should include

A useful audit turns the site into a practical improvement queue:

• Technical health: Sitemap, robots, canonical paths, status codes, metadata, and indexability.
• Content clarity: Service language, local relevance, headings, FAQs, and proof for buying decisions.
• Accessibility: Keyboard behavior, alt text, contrast, motion, labels, and readable mobile forms.
• Conversion path: Calls to action, form friction, phone visibility, tracking, and follow-up readiness.

“A website audit is valuable when it tells the team what to fix before design opinions take over.”

Use the audit to scope the redesign

A redesign should inherit audit findings as requirements:

• Preserve or improve indexable URLs and internal links.
• Rewrite weak service pages around real local intent.
• Improve forms, calls, and measurement before launch.

That keeps the redesign tied to visibility, usability, and pipeline instead of aesthetics alone.
