When Does Your Website Need Auditing?
Some specialists recommend that you perform an SEO audit at both the beginning of each web project and every three months of the year or each quarter. In our opinion this is not necessary, in particular for small websites. Auditing for the sake of auditing is a waste of time and resources. If you have a medium or large website we would certainly recommend an audit is performed if you notice a significant drop in traffic, you have recently switched your internet marketing partner and you are about to invest in a new SEO campaign.
