Technical SEO Audit

Sample audit (own project, no client). 15 automated checks; verification re-run after fixes.

Findings and fixes

#	Finding	Severity	Before	Action	After
1	Title over recommended length	Medium	70 chars (limit 60)	Reworded, keywords kept	56 chars ✓
2	Meta description over limit	Medium	189 chars — SERP truncation	Rewrote value-first	142 chars ✓
3	Missing canonical tag	High	Duplicate-content risk	Added canonical, matched to sitemap/og:url	present ✓
4–9	Headings, link rel hygiene, page weight (23 KB), structured data, robots+sitemap, viewport/OG/lang	OK	Already compliant	None needed	✓

Result

11/15 → 9/9 checks pass.

Honesty note (method transparency): two initial "failures" were audit-script false positives — an <html lang> attribute misparsed, and preconnect <link> tags wrongly counted as anchor links. The script was corrected; the true failure set was title, description, canonical — all fixed and re-verified. Pending-deployment items (real domain for canonical/sitemap) are documented separately.

Deliverable format

What a client receives from an audit like this: prioritized findings with severity, concrete evidence, fixes with before/after numbers, re-verification, and disclosed uncertainties.
