Is your website performing at its best? Bright House Media offers website audits for Marin County businesses and nonprofits. We review your entire site, including SEO, speed, mobile experience, technical health, content, user experience, conversions, accessibility, security, and analytics, then give you a clear, prioritized roadmap for improvement.
Unlike a narrow SEO report, a full website audit looks at everything that affects whether your site attracts visitors and turns them into customers. With more than 8 years of experience in WordPress, HubSpot, and SEO, we translate what we find into practical steps that make a measurable difference.
Why Get a Website Audit?
A website audit shows how your site is performing and where it can improve. With our audit, you’ll learn about:
- SEO performance: How well your site ranks in Google and what’s holding it back.
- Site speed and mobile optimization: Fast, mobile-friendly websites rank better and convert better.
- Technical issues: Broken links, indexing errors, and other hidden problems.
- Content gaps: Opportunities to reach more customers with better pages.
- User experience: How visitors move through your site and where they get stuck.
Signs It’s Time for a Website Audit
- Your website isn’t bringing in calls, leads, or sales
- Traffic has dropped, or never really grew
- Your site feels slow or outdated
- You’re not sure whether your site is secure or up to date
- You’re planning a redesign and want to know what to keep and what to fix
- You’ve inherited a website from a previous developer or employee
- You’re about to invest in advertising or SEO and want a solid foundation first
What We Review in Your Website Audit
SEO Performance
We review your keyword rankings, page titles, meta descriptions, headings, internal links, and local SEO, including your Google Business Profile. You’ll see where you rank, where competitors outrank you, and what’s holding you back.
Site Speed and Core Web Vitals
We test load times on mobile and desktop and review Google’s Core Web Vitals. We identify heavy images, slow plugins, render-blocking scripts, and hosting limitations.
Mobile Experience
We check how your site looks and works on phones and tablets, including navigation, readability, buttons, and forms.
Technical Health
We look for broken links, redirect problems, indexing errors, duplicate content, sitemap issues, and structured data errors that can quietly limit your visibility.
Content and Messaging
We assess whether your pages clearly explain what you do, who you serve, and why customers should choose you. We identify missing service pages, outdated information, and content gaps compared to competitors.
User Experience and Conversions
We review how visitors move through your site and where they may get stuck. We check calls to action, contact forms, phone visibility, booking tools, and trust signals like reviews and credentials.
Accessibility
We check common accessibility issues, such as low color contrast, missing image descriptions, unclear link text, and forms that are hard to use with a keyboard or screen reader. Accessible sites serve more people and provide a better experience for everyone.
Security and Maintenance
We review SSL, software versions, outdated or abandoned plugins, user accounts, and backup practices. Outdated websites are more vulnerable, and regular maintenance helps prevent problems.
Analytics and Tracking
We confirm that Google Analytics, Google Search Console, and conversion tracking are set up correctly, so you can measure what’s working. For HubSpot users, we review forms, tracking, and CRM connections.
AI Search Readiness
More people now ask Google’s AI Overviews, ChatGPT, and other AI assistants for recommendations. We check whether your site provides the clear answers, detailed service information, FAQs, and structured data these tools rely on.
What’s Included in Your Website Audit
When you request a website audit from Bright House Media, you’ll receive:
- A detailed SEO and performance report highlighting strengths and weaknesses
- An overview of your site’s technical health
- Speed, mobile, accessibility, and security findings
- A prioritized list of recommended improvements, starting with quick wins
- Insights tailored to Marin County businesses and your local competition
- A review call to walk through the findings and answer your questions
A Clear Roadmap, in Plain Language
Many audit tools produce long, confusing lists of warnings. Ours is written for business owners, not developers. We explain what each issue means, why it matters, and how much effort it takes to fix. Recommendations are grouped into three levels:
- Quick wins: Fixes that make a noticeable difference with little effort
- Core improvements: Important updates that strengthen your site’s foundation
- Long-term opportunities: Content, design, and growth projects to plan for
That way, you know exactly where to focus your time and budget first.
Website Audit vs. SEO Audit
An SEO audit focuses on search rankings and visibility. A website audit is broader. It includes SEO, but also looks at speed, user experience, conversions, accessibility, security, and analytics. If your main concern is rankings, an SEO audit may be enough. If you want a complete picture of how your website is serving your business, a full website audit is the better choice.
Audits for Marin County Industries
We tailor each audit to how your customers find and choose you:
- Professional services and law firms: Credibility, service pages, and lead forms
- Healthcare and wellness providers: Provider pages, booking, and patient trust
- Contractors and home services: Project galleries, service areas, and calls
- Retailers and restaurants: Map visibility, menus, hours, and mobile experience
- Online stores: Product pages, checkout speed, and abandoned carts
- Nonprofits: Donation flow, volunteer sign ups, and event pages
That focus keeps your recommendations relevant to your business, not a generic checklist.
Should You Fix or Redesign?
One of the most valuable outcomes of an audit is knowing whether your current site can be improved or whether it’s time for something new. Many websites only need targeted fixes to perform much better. Others are built on outdated themes or platforms that make improvements costly. We’ll give you an honest recommendation, so you can invest wisely either way.
After Your Audit
Once you have your audit, you can choose how to move forward:
- Use our roadmap to make improvements with your own team
- Have Bright House Media implement the fixes for you
- Plan a redesign based on what the audit uncovered
- Set up ongoing maintenance, SEO, or performance support
There’s no obligation to continue working with us. The audit is designed to be valuable on its own.
