I have been doing SEO for months but nothing is improving.
That means something specific is blocking your progress — a technical issue, a content gap, a penalty, or misaligned strategy. An audit finds it.
SEO Audits Makati · Senior SEO audit consultant
SEO audits in Makati that find exactly why your site is not ranking.
Your site has traffic problems, ranking problems, or conversion problems — and the first step to fixing any of them is an honest, comprehensive diagnosis. I audit your site across technical SEO, content, local signals, and AI visibility to find exactly what is broken and how to fix it.

Sound familiar?
Four things Makati business owners say before getting an audit.
If any of these resonate, the answer is always the same — you need to diagnose before you prescribe.
My rankings suddenly dropped and I do not know why.
Ranking drops have specific causes — algorithm updates, technical regressions, content decay, or competitor movements. An audit diagnoses the exact cause and prescribes the fix.
I want to invest in SEO but I do not know where to start.
An audit is the right starting point. It maps your entire SEO landscape — strengths, weaknesses, opportunities — so your investment goes to the highest-impact actions first.
My previous SEO agency gave me reports but my traffic never improved.
Reports without action are useless. An audit identifies what should have been done — and often reveals that the previous work was surface-level or misguided.
SEO audits Makati in plain language
Think of an SEO audit as a building inspection before you renovate.
Before any smart Makati developer renovates a building, they bring in a structural engineer. The engineer identifies what is solid, what is cracking, what needs reinforcement, and what needs to be torn out entirely. Skipping the inspection means pouring money into renovations that might collapse.
An SEO audit works the same way. Before investing in content, link building, or technical work, you need a clear diagnosis of your site's health — what Google can and cannot see, where your competitors are outperforming you, what technical issues are suppressing your rankings, and how AI tools currently perceive your brand. The audit turns guesswork into a prioritised action plan.
Done right, every peso you invest in SEO goes to the highest-impact fix first. Done wrong, you keep throwing money at symptoms instead of causes.

What is included
Six areas every SEO audit Makati engagement covers.
No surface-level scans. Every audit is a comprehensive diagnosis of your entire SEO health.
1
Technical SEO audit
Crawlability, indexation, Core Web Vitals, mobile rendering, schema markup, site architecture, canonical tags, redirect chains, and every technical factor that affects how Google processes your site.
2
On-page and content audit
Title tags, headings, content depth, keyword alignment, internal linking, thin content identification, and content gap analysis against your Makati competitors.
3
Local SEO and GBP audit
Google Business Profile completeness, citation consistency, local keyword targeting, map pack competitiveness, and review profile analysis for your Makati market.
4
Backlink profile audit
Link quality, toxic link identification, anchor text distribution, competitor backlink gap analysis, and authority building opportunities specific to your industry in Makati. Pair this with SEO for maximum impact.
5
AI visibility audit
What ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and Copilot currently say about your business — including inaccuracies, omissions, and opportunities to improve your AI search presence.
6
Prioritised action plan
Every finding categorised by impact and effort, with clear implementation steps. Not a 100-page report — a focused roadmap that tells you exactly what to fix first, second, and third.
Why now
Makati businesses cannot afford to invest in SEO without a diagnosis.
The SEO landscape in 2026 is more complex than ever — Google algorithm updates, AI search tools, Core Web Vitals requirements, and evolving local search signals. For Makati businesses operating in competitive verticals like finance, legal, medical, and hospitality, every month of misdirected SEO effort is a month of compounding disadvantage against competitors who got their diagnosis right.
An audit is the highest-ROI SEO investment you can make because it ensures every subsequent action targets the real problem. Most Makati businesses that audit first achieve results in half the time because they skip the trial-and-error phase entirely. For more on what Google values, see Web Vitals on web.dev.

FAQ
Real questions Makati business owners ask about SEO audits.
What does an SEO audit include?
A comprehensive SEO audit covers technical health (crawlability, indexation, Core Web Vitals, schema markup, mobile rendering), on-page optimization (title tags, headings, content depth, keyword alignment), content gaps and opportunities, backlink profile analysis, local SEO and Google Business Profile review, and AI visibility assessment across ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Gemini. For Makati businesses, I also include competitive analysis against your local market.
How long does an SEO audit take?
A thorough audit takes 5–10 business days depending on site size and complexity. Rush audits are possible for time-sensitive situations. The deliverable is a prioritised action plan — not a 100-page report nobody reads. Every finding comes with a severity rating, estimated impact, and clear implementation steps.
How much does an SEO audit cost?
A free initial audit is included when you enquire through the contact form — it covers the key issues preventing your site from ranking. A comprehensive deep audit is included in my monthly engagements starting at $499 USD per month. For standalone audits, pricing depends on site size and scope. I always quote upfront with no hidden fees.
What happens after the audit?
You receive a prioritised action plan with every finding categorised by impact and effort. If you engage me for ongoing SEO, I implement the fixes directly. If you have an internal team or another developer, the audit document is detailed enough for them to execute independently. Either way, you know exactly what is wrong and how to fix it.
Can an audit help if my Makati business has been penalised by Google?
Yes. The audit identifies whether you have a manual penalty, an algorithmic suppression, or simply poor optimization. For manual penalties, I identify the specific violations and create a recovery plan. For algorithmic issues, I diagnose which signals are suppressing your rankings and build a remediation strategy. Most Makati businesses that think they are penalised actually have fixable technical or content issues. See my case studies for examples of real client results.
