Whether you’re a 3PL provider, an e-commerce dropshipping company, a healthcare product fulfillment supplier, a B2B manufacturing fulfillment provider, or an Amazon- and marketplace-focused fulfillment provider, today we’re sharing a quick, easy-to-follow SEO audit checklist.
This checklist will help you identify the issues that are holding back your site from attracting inbound leads and improving its search visibility in the fulfillment industry.
And yes this is not like generic checklists as we use the same process when auditing our clients’ websites, so everything you are going to read here is practical, actionable and results-driven.
Without adding any more curiosity, let’s get started!
Here’s the Tried and Tested SEO Audit Process We Follow for Companies From the Fulfillment Industry
As you can see, our audit process involves basically four steps and we recommend you to follow the same sequence when doing an SEO audit for your site.
Step 1. Technical SEO Audit
There is a reason why we prioritize optimizing technical elements during an SEO audit. Let’s first share that with you – after optimizing thousands of websites, we understood one thing very clearly, a website’s technical strength is everything.
Without it, even the best content or solid keyword strategy fails, which obviously means the company owner will lose real, qualified leads in the initial phase if left technical elements unoptimized.
This is the sequence we follow while performing a technical audit:
- First, we check robots.txt, sitemap and broken links like crawlability factors
- Then, make sure important service pages are indexed
- Following it, evaluate mobile friendliness and site speed
- Next, access Core Web Vitals performance
- As our final step, determine HTTPS and security issues
Step 2. On-Page SEO Review
After making sure the client’s website functions properly, we proceed with optimizing only those on-page factors that directly impact SEO performance.
These are the on-page factors we focus on:
- Title tags and headers
- Keyword positioning on main service pages
- Internal linking between service pages
Step 3. Website Content Audit
This is the step where we check the alignment of website content with SEO guidelines to see how much content favors the SEO score.
This is what we access exactly:
- Whether service pages answer actual buyers’ intent
- Presence of thin or duplicate content
- Blog section
- Location pages
Step 4. Analyze Backlink Profile & Domain Authority Audit
This helps us check whether the backlinks acquired by the client from third-party sites contribute a boost in their site’s domain authority or not.
Here’s what we do exactly:
- Analyze referring domains (using tools like Ahrefs or SEMrush)
- Check for spammy or irrelevant backlinks
- Compare backlink profile with leading competitors
and that’s how the whole process is carried out!
