# Audits

Find what is holding your website back. Independent technical, UX, ecommerce and tracking audits, with clear priorities for your team to act on.

Canonical page: https://visitdigital.com/audits/

A website can look good and still make things difficult for customers. We investigate the technical foundations, key journeys and data to explain what needs attention.

## When this can help

- Organic visibility has stalled or declined
- Visitors arrive, but too few take the next step
- You’re planning a redesign or platform move

## What we explore

### Technical health and search visibility

Review crawling, indexing, performance and search foundations to identify barriers to discovery.

### User experience

Follow the tasks that matter on desktop and mobile. Find where visitors hesitate, get lost or give up.

### Ecommerce journeys

For Shopify and other ecommerce sites, review product discovery, buying confidence and the route to checkout.

### Measurement and tracking

Check whether tracking is reliable and whether the data collected answers your business questions. Identify gaps before drawing conclusions.

### Content and navigation

Look at page hierarchy, navigation and content overlaps to understand whether people can find the information they need.

### Migration readiness and checks

Before or after a platform, domain or structural change, review key journeys, search visibility and tracking to identify what needs protecting or fixing.

## What you take away

### An evidence-led diagnosis

Understand what the issues are, where they occur and why they matter to your business.

### A clear order of priorities

Separate the urgent fixes from longer-term improvements so your team knows where to start.

### Practical recommendations

Give your team or development partner a clear basis for planning and making changes.

## How we work

### Set the focus

Discuss your website, commercial goals and the questions you need the audit to answer.

### Investigate the evidence

Review technical foundations, search discovery and the experience of key journeys.

### Agree the next moves

Walk through the findings and shape a practical order for improvements.

## Questions

### Is this just an automated SEO report?

The aim is to explain the evidence in the context of your website and business. Tools inform the review; the useful output is a clear understanding of what matters and what to do next.

### Can you work with our existing developer or agency?

Yes. Recommendations can give your internal team or existing partners a shared basis for discussing and prioritising improvements.

### Can an audit focus on Shopify, user experience or tracking?

Yes. These are different ways of investigating the same commercial question: what is getting in the way? We agree a focused scope around the store, journeys or measurement you need to understand.

### Can you help around a website migration?

An audit can establish a baseline before a move and check the important journeys, visibility and measurement afterwards. Decisions about the platform, scope and sequence sit within our strategy work; your development team carries out the build.

### Can we focus on a particular problem?

Start with the question you need to answer. We can discuss the scope around a specific issue, a planned migration or a broader review.

### How much does an audit cost?

Scope depends on your website, the journeys being reviewed and the depth of investigation. A first conversation helps establish what’s useful before proposing the work.
