Ask what the audit actually covers
A crawl, a performance test, a content review, a backlink analysis, and a business search strategy answer different questions. Ask which are included, which tools and data sources are used, and what the reviewer cannot see.
An automated report can be a starting point, but it should not be presented as evidence of lost revenue without supporting business data. A score alone does not tell a website team what to change.
Request evidence for each important finding
Ask for example URLs, the observed behavior, the expected behavior, and the source of the recommendation. A statement such as “duplicate pages” needs examples and an explanation of what should happen to each page.
Check whether the report distinguishes known problems from hypotheses and unavailable data. That distinction matters when deciding whether to fund investigation or implementation.
Prioritize around the business and the work
Agree which pages or functions matter most to customers, what is broken or unclear, and which changes carry the least disruption. Include content and access dependencies rather than ranking tasks only by an automated severity label.
For each accepted item, record who approves it, who implements it, the expected effort, and how completion will be checked. Separate large structural changes from routine website support.
Turn the report into a written request
Our team can assess specific WordPress implementation work from an audit. Send the relevant findings and priorities rather than assuming the whole report is included in maintenance.
Stoute Web Solutions is not offering new ongoing SEO campaigns or an automatic comprehensive SEO audit. A request for website help begins with review of the site and the work; scope and pricing are confirmed before a project starts.
Common questions
Is a free tool report a complete SEO audit?
Not necessarily. Review what it measures and what access it has. A tool can report an observable issue without establishing its business impact or the right implementation.
Will you implement every item in my report?
We assess the WordPress work, the evidence, and the fit with your site. Some findings need clarification, another provider, or a separately scoped project.
Do we need a meeting to go through the findings?
You can send findings and questions in writing. We respond with the next information needed, our recommendation, and the proposed scope. A project discussion can be arranged if useful, with decisions recorded afterward.
