General

What's the difference between other SEO audits and Central Audit?

Other audits report past and current metrics: traffic, rankings, a list of warnings from a tool. They don't tell you the actual issues: which page each problem is on, where your previous strategy went wrong, where content misses search intent, and what's dragging you down. Central Audit gives you the real diagnosis plus the plan to fix it, not just a dashboard.

Will this work for a new or small website?

Yes, and often best. Small sites can act on every recommendation instead of triaging hundreds. If your site is so new that an audit wouldn't be worth your money yet, we'll tell you that on the free call.

What industries do you specialize in?

We've audited ecommerce stores, SaaS platforms, local service businesses, healthcare sites, and content publishers. The methodology adapts to your niche.

Do you work with agencies or offer whitelabel?

Yes. If you're an agency that needs audit capacity, reach out and we can discuss whitelabel options.

How is this different from a free SEO tool scan?

Free tools check surface-level technical issues. They can't read your content, judge intent match, assess revenue impact, or build a prioritized fix plan. That's what a human auditor does.

Pricing & Payment

Why is it so affordable?

Because we're new, and we'd rather earn a reputation than a margin. Central Audit launched recently, and right now our priority is a wall of clients who got real results and are happy to say so. Founding pricing is how we make that trade: you get the full audit at a fraction of what it will cost later, and we get the case studies and word of mouth that a new business lives or dies on. The work is the same depth we'll charge far more for once we're established.

Is this a one-time purchase or a subscription?

One-time. You pay once, you get the audit, and the report is yours to keep and share with your team or developer. There's no retainer and no auto-renewal.

What payment methods do you accept?

We currently accept bank transfers and major payment methods. Details are shared after you submit your audit request.

Can I upgrade from Elite to Premium later?

Yes. Contact us within 30 days of your Elite delivery and we'll credit your Elite payment toward the Premium price.

When will founding rates end?

Founding rates end August 15, 2026. After that, Elite moves to $499 and Premium to $999.

Process & Delivery

How long does an audit take?

Most audits are delivered within 4 to 5 business days of receiving your goals and analytics access. Larger sites may take a little longer, and we'll tell you upfront on the call.

What do you need from me to start?

Your website URL, your main goals, a few competitors, and read access to your analytics and search console. We send a short form that covers it all.

What counts as the whole website?

Both packs include a full technical crawl of your entire site. Elite is the complete core audit with a prioritized fix list, including off-page and backlink health. Premium adds competitor intelligence, a content strategy with a 12-month keyword calendar, AEO and AI visibility scoring, and a video walkthrough. Large stores with hundreds of pages get scope confirmed on the call.

Do you fix the issues too, or just find them?

We don't implement changes on your site. We find every issue, rank it by impact, and give you a clear, step-by-step plan your team or developer can follow to fix it. Our job is the diagnosis and the strategy; the implementation stays in your hands.

What does the deliverable look like?

A comprehensive HTML report with every issue documented: exact page, severity rating, revenue impact, and specific fix instructions. Premium also includes a personal video walkthrough.

Can I get a partial audit of just one area?

Our packs are designed as comprehensive audits. If you only need a technical or content audit, let us know on the call and we can discuss options.

Technical

What tools do you use for the audit?

We use a combination of crawlers, analytics platforms, and proprietary analysis frameworks. But the real value isn't the tools. It's the human interpretation that turns data into diagnosis.

What are AEO and GEO?

AEO is answer-engine optimization: making your content citable and visible in ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google's AI Overviews, which is where a growing share of buyers now get their answers. GEO refers to geographical and local optimization: how well your site ranks for location-based searches. Both are included in the Premium pack.

Will you need access to my Google Search Console or Analytics?

Read-only access helps us give you a more accurate audit. We'll walk you through granting it on the call. Your data stays confidential.

What if I disagree with the findings?

We welcome discussion. If you think we've got something wrong, email us and we'll review it together. That's what the money-back guarantee is for.

Results & ROI

What kind of results can I expect?

Results depend on implementation. Clients who follow the prioritized fix-list typically see measurable improvements within 60 to 90 days, including better rankings, more traffic, and higher engagement.

How often should I get an SEO audit?

We recommend a comprehensive audit annually, with a lighter check-up every 6 months if you're actively publishing content or making site changes.

Is the free call really free?

Yes. Ten minutes, no payment. A conversation about your site and goals. You'll leave already knowing a few real things about your site.

About Us

Who will be doing my audit?

Every audit is personally conducted and reviewed by our team. Your report has quality assurance behind it.

How does the money-back guarantee work?

If you receive your audit and don't feel it was worth what you paid, tell us within 14 days of delivery and we'll refund you in full. Simply email us with your name and the reason. We process refunds without unnecessary paperwork, and the full details are in our refund policy. We can offer this because the audit and plan clearly earns its price.

Can I contact you after the audit for follow-up questions?

Absolutely. We offer email support for questions about your audit findings. If you need extended guidance, we can discuss that too.
