Lead-Generation SEO Audits Built for Growth
MancSEO delivers a conversion-focused SEO audit designed to improve the drivers of qualified enquiries — not vanity rankings. Every recommendation is tied to lead generation, conversion tracking, and what actually moves revenue.
Commercially Grounded Audit by a Business Owner
Lead Generation Focus (Not Just Rankings): every recommendation is tied to lead generation, conversion tracking, and what actually moves revenue. Built by a Business Owner (Not Just an Agency): commercially grounded advice that respects margins, capacity, and the reality of sales teams.
The audit can be standalone. Optional pay-monthly SEO support after the audit if you want implementation and ongoing growth — no long-term contracts.
Executive summary for decision-makers plus a technical annex for developers — no jargon, no wall of warnings.
Agreed scope based on site size and pages reviewed, so you know exactly what you are getting and when.
Specialist experience in high-intent local services across Manchester — dentists, solicitors, chauffeur companies, and professional services.
Clear priorities, clear owners, and no fluff — actions your team can implement without decoding technical jargon.
Optional pay-monthly SEO support after the audit if you want fixes shipped, content produced, and performance improved.
Built for Manchester Businesses That Sell High-Value Services
If you sell high-value services and need more of the right enquiries, this is built for you.
Typical clients include
- Dentists focused on implants and cosmetic dentistry
- Solicitors handling injury claims and family law matters
- Chauffeur companies targeting airport transfers and corporate travel
Common fit signals
- Inconsistent leads month to month
- Poor local visibility, even with a decent website
- Traffic that does not convert into calls, forms, or bookings
- A recent rebuild or migration that dropped rankings or Map Pack presence
- Keyword rankings that look fine but organic traffic, calls, and bookings are flat — often caused by intent mismatch, tracking gaps, or weak conversion paths
An Audit Report Mapped to Visibility, Conversions, and Lead Quality
You get an audit report that maps each area to one of three outcomes: visibility, conversions, or lead quality. Expect a prioritised action plan with estimated impact, what to fix first, and what can wait without costing you enquiries.
Executive Summary
For decision-makers — clear priorities, what they mean for your business, and the actions that matter most.
Technical Annex
For developers — HTML, CSS, structured data, redirects, and specific implementation requirements with URLs and test steps.
Implementation Roadmap
30/60/90-day action plan with owners, dependencies, and KPIs — a practical SEO strategy document, not a generic export.

Technical SEO Review
Crawlability & Indexation
Crawlability and indexation checks across robots.txt, XML sitemaps, canonicals, crawl waste, and orphan URLs. Site architecture review to reduce friction for users and bots and avoid bloated URL structures that waste crawl budget.
Redirects & Status Codes
Review of redirect chains, loops, soft 404s, and broken internal links. Specific checks for 301 redirect hygiene, 404 errors, and server errors that quietly kill performance after migrations or rebuilds.
Core Web Vitals & Page Speed
Mobile-first Core Web Vitals breakdown — Largest Contentful Paint, Interaction to Next Paint, and Cumulative Layout Shift — plus template-level issues and practical fixes that improve real user experience.
Canonical Tags
Canonical tag review to prevent duplicate content issues and protect priority service pages from ranking dilution.
Structured Data & Schema
Structured data validation and schema markup opportunities to earn rich results where relevant — services, FAQs, and reviews where compliant.
Mobile Usability
Mobile usability checks for layout issues, tap targets, sticky elements, and form friction that reduce conversions on mobile devices.
Log File Analysis (Optional)
Where available, server log analysis to see how Googlebot actually crawls the site, spot wasted crawl paths, and confirm priority pages are being hit at the right frequency.
On-Page and Content Review
Service Page Intent Match
On-page SEO review focused on the pages that generate revenue. We map each page to search intent, backed by lightweight SERP analysis, so your page format matches what Google rewards in Manchester.
Title Tags, Headings & Meta
Title tags and headings reviewed for relevance, CTR, and cannibalisation control. Meta descriptions rewritten where needed to improve click-through rate for high-intent terms. Heading structure checks (H1–H3) for clarity, relevance, and page scanning.
Keyword Cannibalisation
Cannibalisation review to stop multiple pages fighting for the same query and diluting results across your site.
Internal Linking
Internal linking improvements to push authority toward money pages — identifying orphaned pages and structural inefficiencies. Connected to our on-page SEO service.
Content Audit & Strategy
Structured content audit to identify thin content, outdated pages, and missed opportunities — followed by a practical content strategy tied to services, margins, and lead quality. See our SEO content writing service.
E-E-A-T Improvements
E-E-A-T improvements for service pages — author and reviewer signals where appropriate, proof points, credentials, and trust-building elements that help conversion and quality perception.
Request a Free Consultation
15–20 minutes to review your site, goals, and fit for the audit. Clear priorities and next steps at no cost.
Local SEO and Map Pack Review (Manchester)
Google Business Profile Audit
Categories, services, photos, posts, Q&A, and spam risk checks. Connected to our full local SEO service.
Map Pack Visibility Blockers
Identification of Map Pack visibility blockers, including proximity signals — so you can influence your local pack appearance ethically and effectively.
NAP Consistency
NAP consistency across citations and key directories, with a clean-up plan to remove trust friction from inconsistent business data.
Local Landing Pages
Local landing page plan for Manchester areas, built to avoid duplication and support conversions — services, proof, FAQs, and clear next steps without thin or duplicate content.
Choose the Audit That Matches Your Bottleneck
Pick the audit that matches your current bottleneck, then add implementation support to have fixes shipped.
Technical SEO Audit
Remove site health issues that block rankings and lead generation — crawlability, indexation, speed, and architecture. See our technical SEO service.
Local SEO Audit
Improve Map Pack visibility and local conversions in Manchester — GBP, citations, NAP, and local landing pages.
Content & Keyword Audit
Keyword research tied to services, margins, and lead quality — intent mapping, content gaps, and service page improvements. See our keyword research service.
Conversion Audit
Turn existing visits into calls, forms, and bookings — page intent, offers, trust signals, and conversion rate optimisation fixes for SEO traffic.
Competitor Gap Audit
Identify priority queries and pages Manchester competitors rank for — what they do better on pages, intent match, internal linking, and local signals — and how to beat them.
Link Audit & Off-Page Risk
Backlink profile sampling to understand what is helping, neutral, or risky. Identification of toxic backlinks, over-optimised anchor text, and unnatural footprints that can suppress performance.
