Bespoke Content Audit Services That Meet Your Needs

Looking to get more mileage out of your content? Content audits save you from the resource-intensive task of creating new content from scratch by providing data-driven insights to improve the search engine optimization (SEO) of your existing pieces. Besides SEO reasons, old, underperforming content can harm your brand's reputation and give competitors the upper hand. Issues like broken links and images, outdated stats, and changing search intent can erode your bottom line.

The Blogsmith team has critically reviewed content performance across specific qualitative and quantitative metrics to help leading brands like Bluehost, HubSpot’s The Hustle, Scribe, SCOTTeVEST, Goodcover, and Hourly maximize the quality and reach of their websites.

Why We’re the Best Content Audit Service for You

Our content audits typically start with a focus on SEO. However, we can include other important factors, such as product updates and user experience (UX), and also offer full content audits that cover everything from technical SEO to writing and design.

Implementing Our Audit Report

Meet with your Content Manager to set key performance indicators (KPIs) and goals that align with your business strategy. We’ll guide you if you need help choosing what content audit service is best for your needs or what KPIs you should prioritize. For example, if you’re noticing low engagement or dealing with high bounce rates, we’ll do a content performance audit to uncover what’s happening and why. We’ll also discuss project timelines and budget, which will vary based on the scope of the audit.

“By [The Blogsmith] conducting the audit, the speed with which [they] were able to evaluate and then optimize that content, as of today, I am not convinced we would have done that [by ourselves] because we’re constantly moving, and because of you, we have had the capacity to improve our content holistically. Our entire blog is much more powerful because you guys gave us the time to do it ourselves because you’d already done that audit.”
