What happenedMany SEO audits offer little more than basic crawler exports and generic recommendations, failing to address specific issues, their root causes, or business goals. A valuable audit should contextualize technical debt, audience needs, and business objectives to prioritize fixes, especially as AI search relies on 'trusted' sites for grounding.

Ensure your audit goes beyond technical checks to validate your site's authority and relevance for AI-driven content generation.
