The audit is a paid, fixed-scope piece of work that tells you why your website and your Google presence are not producing leads. I crawl the site, compare you against the businesses currently outranking you, check your Google Business Profile, and read your content the way a search engine does.
You get a prioritized list in plain language: what is wrong, what it is costing you, and what order to fix it in. It is written as the opening stage of the work rather than a standalone document, so once you approve the priorities we start working through them together.
Around two weeks from start to finish, and you are not chasing me for updates. The first conversation is free. The audit starts once you decide to go ahead.

A free audit is a sales document. It finds just enough to justify a proposal and stops there. This one is scoped and paid because it is the first stage of the engagement rather than a pitch for it: the findings become the plan, and the plan is what I work through with you month by month.
If the honest answer is that your site is fine and the money is better spent elsewhere, you get told that too.
A fixed-scope piece of work with a defined deliverable. You get the findings, the evidence behind them and the priority order, set up so the fixes can begin as soon as you give the go-ahead.
For businesses that want the fixes carried out rather than handed over. The audit sets the priority order, then the work runs month to month so it compounds instead of stalling.
Thanks Mike! Our new website looks great! We appreciate the time you spent tending to meet our needs and give us something simple enough for us to keep up to date while also looking fantastic!
Mike built and designed a new fresh website for our non profit organization at an affordable price and very timely. I appreciated how much he took on for us in regards to writing copy, organizing a calendar and setting up forms. Definitely recommend!
Northview did a great job at really listening to our needs and giving us guidance on where to take our website. I would recommend and use again!
Mike has been great to work with! The website he built is awesome, he communicates very well and completed the work in a timely manner. 10/10!
Mike at North View Digital is fantastic to work with! He always keeps our website looking fresh and professional, and he’s always prompt and responsive when we need updates or changes. We’re so grateful for everything he’s done for our organization — highly recommend North View Digital!
I asked Mike to build me a website, and he impressed me right from the start. On top of that, he also provides SEO and marketing support, which has been a huge help for my business. It’s great to have someone local who truly understands the Maine market. Thanks again, Mike!
Mike did a fantastic job creating the website for my business at a reasonable price. He was very professional, responsive and was great at answering all of my questions. I highly recommend Mike as he knows what he is doing and is local with lots of experience.
I was looking for the best Maine web design company who could also help me with SEO, NorthView Digital was the perfect fit. They were quick, professional, and knowledgeable!
We have been using NorthView Digital for over four years now. We are a very small non-profit with only three employees. Mike is always very responsive to any of our requests. He stays on top of our website for us. We can not say enough about the value we receive from having Mike handling our website.
A written report with prioritized findings, the evidence behind each one, and a recommended order of work, plus a call to go through it together. It is written for a business owner, not for another SEO.
We go through the findings on a call, agree what gets fixed first, and start working down the list in priority order. The audit is built as the opening stage of ongoing work rather than a document that gets filed, so the fixes begin instead of waiting for someone else to pick them up.
Around two weeks in most cases. It can land sooner on a smaller site, and it can run longer where the site is large or the market is competitive. I will tell you which one you are before we start.
Usually not. A site built in the last year or two with no traffic history has very little to audit. That is a conversation about SEO Services or Google Ads instead, and I would rather say so than sell you a report.
