Every audit starts with crawling infrastructure. You need to know how search engines see your site, which pages get indexed, and where redirects send traffic. Without this baseline data, any strategy becomes guesswork.

Rankings exist in relation to other sites. An audit that ignores competitor backlink profiles and content depth misses half the picture. You want to identify what others are doing that you are not, and where you can differentiate.
