Website SEO Audit and Advisory

Right now, donors who searched for a charity like yours found your competitor's website instead.

Most charity websites have hidden technical problems that prevent Google from ranking them. The site looks fine to you. It loads, the pages are there, the content is good. But Google sees something different. We find what it sees, explain it in plain English, and tell you exactly what to fix.

Free 30-minute call. We look at your site before we talk so you receive something useful in the first conversation.

A plain-English audit report, delivered in five business days Prioritised fixes, ranked by impact. No jargon. No 40-page PDF your team will never read.

Your website is your best fundraising asset. Most charities have no idea it is broken in search.

44% of all visits to nonprofit websites come from organic search. That means nearly half of everyone who finds your charity online arrives through Google. Not social media. Not direct. Google.

If your website has technical SEO problems, Google either ranks it poorly or does not rank it at all. The content can be excellent. The design can be professional. If the underlying structure is wrong, Google struggles to understand what your site is about and who it is for.

Most charity teams have no way of knowing this is happening. The site loads. The pages are there. Nothing looks broken from the inside. The problems are invisible to the people running the organisation and invisible to the donors who never find it.

Every month the problems go unfixed

Google continues to underrank your pages. Donors, volunteers, and funding bodies who searched for exactly what you offer found someone else. The issues compound as your competitors optimise and you stay still.

  • 01
    Missing or duplicate page titles and meta descriptions

    These are the first thing Google reads to understand your pages. Missing or duplicated titles tell Google your pages are not meaningfully different from each other. The cost: lower rankings for every affected page, across your entire site.

  • 02
    Slow load speed, especially on mobile

    88.5% of people abandon a website because it loads too slowly. Google also uses page speed as a ranking factor. A charity website loading in 9 seconds on mobile is being penalised in both search rankings and visitor retention. The cost: the donor who would have contacted you left before the page finished loading.

  • 03
    No structured data on key pages

    Structured data tells Google specifically what your organisation is, where it operates, and what it does. Without it, Google guesses. The cost: you miss eligibility for rich results and your pages rank for less specific, less valuable searches.

  • 04
    Content that does not match what donors search for

    Your service descriptions may use internal language that no donor ever types into Google. The cost: your pages exist but are invisible for the searches that would actually bring you supporters, funding enquiries, and volunteers.

A full audit across every dimension that affects your search visibility

We look at the six areas that most commonly hold charity websites back in Google. Each one is checked, scored, and ranked by the impact fixing it would have.

Technical SEO

The foundation Google reads before anything else. If this is wrong, everything else matters less.

  • Page speed and Core Web Vitals
  • Mobile responsiveness
  • Crawlability and indexation
  • XML sitemap and robots.txt
  • Broken links and redirect chains
  • SSL and HTTPS configuration

On-Page SEO

Whether each page is set up to tell Google clearly what it is about and who it is for.

  • Title tags and meta descriptions
  • Heading structure (H1 to H3)
  • Keyword relevance and placement
  • Image alt text
  • Internal linking structure
  • Duplicate content issues

Content and Keywords

Whether your content matches what donors, volunteers, and funders actually type into Google.

  • Keyword gap analysis vs competitors
  • Service page content quality
  • Search intent alignment
  • Thin or low-value pages
  • Missing content opportunities
  • Page length vs ranking competitors

Local and Structured Data

The signals that tell Google your organisation is a real, located, operating entity in your area.

  • Schema markup for NFP organisation
  • Local business structured data
  • NAP consistency across the web
  • Google Search Console setup
  • Google Analytics 4 configuration
  • Conversion tracking status

Authority and Backlinks

Whether other websites link to yours, which tells Google you are trustworthy and credible.

  • Backlink profile overview
  • Domain authority vs competitors
  • Toxic or spammy link identification
  • Unlinked brand mention opportunities
  • ACNC and charity directory listings
  • Partnership and media link gaps

Competitor Benchmarking

Where you rank compared to similar organisations and what they are doing that you are not.

  • Top 3 organic competitors identified
  • Ranking gap for priority keywords
  • Content and page structure comparison
  • Backlink gap analysis
  • GBP profile comparison
  • Quick-win opportunities mapped

A report your team can actually act on.

Most SEO audits produce a 40-page technical report that sits unread on someone's desktop. We do not do that.

Everything is written in plain English, prioritised by impact, and structured around what your team can realistically fix. We separate quick wins from longer-term improvements so you know where to start.

If implementation is beyond your team's capacity, we can manage the fixes ourselves. That is a separate conversation. The audit stands alone and is useful regardless of what you decide to do next.

1
Executive summary

A one-page overview of your site's current search performance, the most critical issues, and the realistic opportunity if they are fixed. Written for a CEO or board member, not a developer.

2
Prioritised issue list

Every issue found, ranked by the impact fixing it would have on your search visibility. High, medium, and low priority. Estimated fix time for each item so you can plan your team's effort realistically.

3
Quick wins section

The five to ten fixes your team can implement within a week that will have the most immediate impact. No developer required for most of them.

4
Competitor snapshot

Where you rank compared to the top three organisations competing for the same searches. What they are doing that you are not, and where your fastest path to closing the gap lies.

5
Loom walkthrough video

A 20-minute screen-recorded walkthrough of the audit findings, explained in plain English. Your team can watch it at their own pace and pause on anything they need to revisit.

Audit delivered in five business days.

We look at your site before we talk. That means the free audit call is already useful before you spend a dollar.

Before the call

We Review Your Site

Your team's time commitment: one 30-minute call

We do the audit work. You receive the report, watch the Loom, and decide what to do next. No ongoing commitment required.

Full audit pricing confirmed on the call. No obligation.

If the audit does not identify at least five actionable improvements, you pay nothing.

We have not yet audited a charity website and found fewer than five meaningful improvements. If we do, the audit is free. That is not a risk for us. It is a commitment that the work will be genuinely useful to you.

The preliminary review we run before the audit call gives us a strong indication of what the full audit will find. If the site is already in excellent shape, we will tell you on the call before you spend anything.

Questions we get asked

Yes, and often more so. A recently built website frequently has SEO issues introduced during the build process. Common problems include pages accidentally set to noindex, missing structured data, images not compressed for web performance, and title tags left as placeholders. A new site is also not yet indexed or ranked for anything, making the audit the right starting point for building search visibility from day one.
The report is written for non-technical teams. The quick wins section specifically identifies fixes that do not require a developer. For the more technical items, we provide clear specifications that can be handed to any web developer or agency. If you do not have a developer, we can manage implementation as a separate engagement. We discuss this on the call once we know what the audit has found.
Free and paid SEO tools generate raw data lists. They tell you what is there but not what to prioritise, why it matters for your specific situation, or what to do about it. Our audit adds the interpretation and prioritisation layer that turns data into a plan. We also look at your specific audience (donors, volunteers, funding bodies) and benchmark you against the organisations competing for the same searches, which no automated tool does.
Quick wins like fixing page titles and submitting a sitemap typically show results within four to eight weeks as Google recrawls the site. Page speed improvements often show results faster, including immediate improvement in the visitor experience. More substantive content and authority improvements take three to six months. We set realistic expectations for each fix in the report itself so you know what to expect before you start.
Yes. The audit covers the site regardless of the platform it is built on. WordPress, Squarespace, Wix, Webflow, custom builds — the technical SEO principles are the same. What changes is the specific implementation instructions in the quick wins section, which we tailor to your platform.
Pricing depends on site size and whether implementation is included. We confirm the number at the end of the free call once we know what the audit will involve. The call itself is free and gives you a preliminary picture of your site's issues before you spend anything.
