The five checks
- indexation
- How many of your pages Google holds, and what is missing
- core web vitals
- LCP, INP, and CLS against Google’s thresholds
- local signals
- Google Business Profile setup and NAP consistency
- query snapshot
- Queries you already appear for, and at what positions
- priority action
- The single highest-impact change to make first
What You Get in Your Free Audit
The free SEO health check encompasses five baseline assessments that provide a clear snapshot of your website's current search performance.
- Indexation status: how many of your pages are present in Google's index, and are there pages missing or pages that ought not to be there?
- Core Web Vitals: does your site satisfy Google's speed and user experience thresholds? We examine LCP, INP, and CLS from real-world data.
- Local SEO presence: is your Google Business Profile established and optimised? Are your NAP details consistent across Reading directories?
- Top keyword snapshot: which queries is your site currently appearing for in Google, and at what positions?
- One key recommendation: the single highest-impact change you can implement immediately to improve your visibility within Reading search results.
This is a focused health check rather than a comprehensive audit. It provides sufficient information to understand your baseline and determine whether a more thorough analysis merits consideration.
How It Works
Step 1: Submit the Form
Complete the form above with your business name, website URL, and email address. Phone and message fields are optional, though they enable us to tailor the check to your particular circumstances. Businesses in Caversham, Earley, Tilehurst, Woodley, and across Reading are all welcome.
Step 2: Receive Your Report
We review each request and reply within one working day to confirm fit and expected delivery time. The report is sent by email as a concise PDF covering the five baseline checks, with a brief explanation of each finding.
Step 3: Optional Discussion Call
Should you wish to discuss the findings, we offer a complimentary 15-minute call to walk through the report and address questions. This is entirely optional and carries no sales pressure. In our experience, many Reading business owners find it valuable to have technical findings explained in practical, commercial terms.
Why We Offer a Free Audit
Every Reading business deserves to understand its position in Google. Many business owners are unaware of whether their site is indexed correctly, whether it meets Core Web Vitals thresholds, or whether their Google Business Profile is properly optimised. A complimentary baseline check provides that clarity.
Moreover, we find that once business owners examine the data, the value of professional SEO becomes self-evident. The free audit is not a sales device; it is a genuine diagnostic upon which you may act independently or present to any SEO provider. Should you elect to engage us, the baseline data feeds directly into a comprehensive strategy.
