A written report, prioritized backlog or page-level recommendations are more actionable than an unstructured review call.

Reading the market
What the prices do—and do not—show
This comparison includes priced diagnostic packages and explicitly free SEO reviews or consultations. A free call can help scope the problem, but it should not be treated as equivalent to a written audit with page-level recommendations.
Check the diagnostic depth
Confirm whether technical crawling, content quality, keyword research, internal links and local search are covered.
Ask who implements the findings
Some audits end at recommendations; others include implementation support or lead into a monthly SEO engagement.
Buying questions
Before you shortlist an agency
- What is the difference between a free SEO consultation and an audit?
- A consultation is usually an introductory conversation or high-level review. A full audit generally involves structured crawling and analysis, then delivers written findings and prioritized recommendations.
- What should an SEO audit include?
- The scope should state whether it covers technical crawling, indexation, content, metadata, internal linking, keyword opportunities, local search and implementation priorities. The right depth depends on the size and complexity of the site.
