Why do I need a website audit?
Simply, if you don’t audit your website and overall marketing activity, do you really know where your time is best spent? The vast majority of businesses are limited by time, ensuring you’re effective with your focus is the most important thing.
A thorough audit will save money when considered against three, six, or twelve months of marketing activity.
Can I audit a website myself?
Absolutely, everyone should be running audits in some way, shape or form. However, brushing your teeth doesn’t make you a dentist, changing the oil in your car a mechanic or unblocking your drain a plumber.
A thorough marketing audit will need expertise from three-five different disciplines – experienced people who have trained to a high standard. The audit results will be far more favourable with their time and knowledge.
Will an audit solve my problems?
If you act on all recommendations in your audit, as part of an ongoing strategy, your problems will be solved. An audit is the start of a process and seldom the end of one. When you undertake one, be ready to put time and resources into taking action on the audit recommendations themselves.
The other thing you should also be aware of is that an audit will often ask questions it is unable to answer. These unanswerable questions shouldn’t be considered as a failure of the audit or a point of frustration. Sometimes the data/information will not be available.
For example, the majority of Google Analytics accounts we audit are not collecting the right information or the most accurate information. We can recommend how to fix this, but the data we would have otherwise used as part of the audit simply won’t be present.
You will always know more about your website and brand after an audit than you did before. And you can’t make a plan to grow or repair or build if you’re unaware of the issues. If you approach the experience with an open mind and a willingness to learn, it will be one of the most valuable things you do.
How much does an audit cost?
Audit costs are as wide-ranging as the types of audits, although our DMA (Digital Marketing Audit) starts from ZAR15K (+VAT). Considering that, for us, the DMA is 20hrs of time, we consider it to be exceptional value.
Why is it priced that way? We want everyone we work with to have one of these audits done, so we priced it at the lowest-barrier to entry. We are often told it could be two or three times this cost. But, by increasing price, we may end up excluding some businesses we want to work with.How long does an audit take? We can turn a DMA around in a week – depending on how many reports it will contain. More intensive Technical SEO or Content audits can take two-four weeks depending on the size of the site and the complexity of the task.
Of our auditing tools and processes, only a handful are 100% automated, so we need to ensure one of the technical team is on hand to lead these projects. It’s worth the wait!

Our Local SEO package is cost-effective and economical. By optimising your website, we will help you rank in local organic search results and achieve the online marketing results your business needs.

We also provide management services for your Google My Business profile, helping get your business verified, provide accurate information to customers, drive customer engagement and connection through its many features, and more. GMB is an important tool for local businesses, and should always be considered an important part of any marketing strategy, especially if you have a brick and mortar.
Ranking in Google’s local results and optimising your Google My Business profile both have many benefits.
Local SEO can increase foot traffic and phone calls to the business, as customers gain easier access to details including your business phone number and address. This can increase engagement with your target audience and lead to more opportunities for conversions. Local SEO also helps potential customers become more familiar with your company, as they get additional information such as online reviews, photos, and store hours.

Online Reputation Management
Online Reputation Management (ORM) is for individuals or businesses who want to turn their negative online brand reputation into a positive one.
How others perceive your brand online greatly influences your company’s reputation. We’ve seen it over and over again; a great company has hundreds or even thousands of customer reviews with positive experiences, but there are just one or two negative experiences that get all of the visibility in the search results, and it gives an unaware public a false negative impression about the brand.
Take Control with Online Reputation Management
Our team can help your company manage your brand’s online reputation depending on your goals, industry, and resources. We can do an extensive online reputation audit and brand monitoring before setting up an online reputation management strategy that will work best for your situation. Improve your business marketing and boost your growth strategy with solid online reputation management. Ask us about our ORM services today.
