How the Program Unfolds
Six weeks of structured work. Each phase builds specific skills through actual audit tasks. You'll work on progressively complex sites and receive detailed feedback on every submission.
Technical Audit Basics
You'll audit a small site for technical issues. Focus on crawlability, indexation, and basic performance metrics. Learn to read server logs and understand how search engines interact with websites at the protocol level.
Content and On-Page Analysis
Evaluate a medium-sized site for content quality and optimization. You'll map keyword targeting, identify cannibalization issues, and assess whether the site architecture supports topical authority.
Authority and Link Profile
Analyze backlink profiles for quality and risk. Learn to spot patterns in toxic links, evaluate competitor strategies, and identify realistic link building opportunities based on current authority levels.
Comprehensive Site Audit
Conduct a complete audit on a large commercial site. Combine technical, content, and authority analysis into a single project. This is where everything comes together into a professional deliverable.
Competitive Analysis
Compare your audited site against its top three competitors. Identify specific advantages and weaknesses in technical setup, content coverage, and backlink profiles. Recommend strategies based on competitive gaps.
Client Presentation
Present your findings in a simulated client meeting. You'll answer questions about your methodology, justify your priorities, and defend your recommendations. This tests whether you truly understand what you've analyzed.
