What is a website audit?
A website audit is a structured snapshot: it tells you what is wrong, what is fine, and what to tackle first. It is diagnostic, not the same as an ongoing SEO retainer where someone keeps shipping changes month to month.
At Trevorn, that means looking at more than just technical SEO. We review the wider picture too, including how clearly your site explains what you do, how easy it is to use, and whether it supports visibility, trust and enquiries.
Our audit looks at the parts of a website that most often affect business results, including:
- SEO foundations (vs ongoing SEO services)
- AI SEO and AI search visibility (what AI SEO means, and our AI search optimisation service)
- content clarity and structure
- technical issues and performance
- user journey and conversion opportunities
- trust signals and overall credibility
What's included in the free website audit?
Our free website audit is designed to give you a clear first view of where your website stands and what to improve first.
SEO audit
We review the core SEO foundations that affect how easily your site can be found and understood. That may include page titles, meta descriptions, headings, internal linking, content structure, keyword targeting, crawlability and other obvious on-page issues.
AI SEO audit
We also look at how well your website is set up for modern search.
That includes whether your content is clear enough to be surfaced in AI-led search experiences, whether pages answer genuine user questions well, how easy key information is to interpret, and whether your site gives strong signals around expertise, trust and relevance.
This is not about stuffing pages with AI buzzwords. It's about whether your website is genuinely useful, specific and easy for search engines and AI systems to understand.
Content and messaging review
We assess whether your website clearly explains what you do, who you help and why someone should choose you. Many websites lose potential enquiries because the messaging is vague, generic or thin.
Technical review
We look for obvious technical issues that may be affecting performance, visibility or usability. That can include broken elements, page speed concerns, poor mobile experience, weak structure and missed technical opportunities.
Conversion and user journey review
We review whether your website actually helps people take the next step. That includes calls to action, page flow, contact pathways, clarity of offer and the overall journey from landing on the site to getting in touch.
Why request a free website audit?
A lot of businesses know their website could be doing more, but they're not sure what the real problem is.
Sometimes it's SEO. Sometimes it's weak content. Sometimes the issue is structure, trust, user journey or an outdated site that no longer reflects the quality of the business.
If the main symptom is traffic without enough enquiries, our guide on why your website might not be generating enquiries walks through the usual causes in plain language. If the site feels dated, unclear or out of step with the business, our website redesign guide explains when a redesign is the right move and what it should improve.
A good audit helps you cut through the guesswork.
It gives you a clearer view of what's helping, what's hurting, and what matters most right now.

Our free website audit is a good fit for:
- small businesses
- service businesses
- professional services firms
- B2B businesses
- hospitality brands
- hotels and holiday lets

- startups
- local businesses in Devon, Cornwall and across the UK
It's especially useful if:
- your website isn't generating enough enquiries

The goal is to help you understand what needs attention first, not bury you in a long report full of filler.
What makes Trevorn's audit different?
There are plenty of automated audit tools online. Most will throw out a score, list a few surface-level errors and leave you to work out what matters.
Our approach is different.
We look at your website with commercial judgement, not just software. That means we consider how your site performs as a business asset, not only as a technical object.
We look at search visibility, content quality, structure, clarity, trust and conversion together, because that's how real websites perform in the real world.
Our approach
We start by looking at the basics.
How clearly does your website explain what you do? Are your core pages structured properly? Is the content useful? Are there obvious SEO or technical weaknesses? Does the site help people trust you and take action?
From there, we identify the biggest opportunities and prioritise the areas most likely to improve visibility and results.
That often includes a mix of SEO, AI SEO, messaging, structure and user journey improvements rather than one isolated fix.
Why include AI SEO in the audit?
Search is changing. More people now search using fuller questions and expect clearer, more direct answers.
That means websites need to do more than just target keywords. They need to explain services clearly, answer real customer questions, show credibility and make key information easy to interpret.
Including AI SEO in the audit helps highlight whether your website is ready for that shift.
We review whether your content is structured clearly, whether important topics are easy to extract, and whether your pages are likely to support visibility in more answer-led search experiences.
Free website audit for Devon, Cornwall and beyond
We work with businesses across Devon, Cornwall and further afield.
For many regional businesses, the problem is not a lack of quality. It's that the website doesn't reflect that quality clearly enough. The messaging is too vague, the structure is weak, or the site simply isn't helping search engines and customers understand the value of the business.
A proper audit helps uncover those gaps and gives you a more practical starting point for improvement. See where we work.
