What Website Auditor does

Scored against your goal An audit score out of 100 weighted for the one job the site has to do, with a breakdown for the journey to get in touch, messaging, tracking, design, trust, search and speed.
Fixes ranked by impact Every improvement says what it means for the business and exactly what to change, sorted by impact and effort and listed page by page.
A conversion audit, not just a checklist It follows the path from landing on the site to getting in touch, so the fixes are the ones that win more enquiries: a website audit and a conversion audit in one.
A design review if you want one The Full check adds an AI review of homepage screenshots on mobile and desktop: layout, clarity and whether it looks trustworthy.
One page, or the whole site Audit up to 25 pages, or run a web page audit on just the pages you choose, such as the ones your ads send people to.
Ready to hand over Download a PDF for whoever builds your site, or send the fixes straight to your Marketing Plan.
Encouraging, not critical Every result is written as an improvement, not a fault. You'd rather your business was associated with positive words than negative ones, and so would anyone you share the report with.

What the website audit covers

Seven areas, each scored, with the fixes for every page that needs them.

01 The journey to get in touch Whether every important page ends with a clear way to enquire, book or buy, how many fields your forms ask for, and whether phone numbers can be tapped on a mobile.
02 Messaging Whether the business is described the same way on every page (its name, phone number and main button), whether claims such as "award-winning" are backed up, and whether the copy talks to the customer in plain English. A Full check adds an AI read of how clear the homepage is, the business's unique selling point and its tone.
03 Tracking Whether you can count your enquiries: analytics, Google Tag Manager and ad tags, so you know what's working, and whether there's a thank-you page: one way to track enquiries that also reassures customers their message was sent. Plus whether there's a cookie banner when the tracking needs one.
04 Design Colours, fonts, text sizes and contrast measured from the site itself, plus, on a Full check, an AI review of how the homepage looks.
05 Trust Reviews and testimonials, accreditations, an about page, contact details and a privacy policy: the things visitors look for before they get in touch.
06 Search A site SEO audit of the basics on every page: titles, descriptions, headings, the sitemap and robots.txt. Plus whether AI assistants such as ChatGPT and Claude can read the site, so the business can come up when people ask them for recommendations.
07 Speed and security Google's mobile speed test, a secure connection and a mobile-friendly layout, so pages load fast enough to keep visitors.
The guide

A website audit built around enquiries, not just errors

Most website audit tools count technical errors. That's useful, but it misses the question that matters to a business: does the site turn visitors into customers? Vantage's website audit starts there.

Start with what the site is for

A plumber's website needs phone calls. A shop needs sales. A consultant needs bookings. The same improvement, such as making a phone number tappable on a mobile, matters far more to one than another, so Vantage asks for the site's main goal first and weights the audit score around it.

That means the fixes at the top of the list are the ones most likely to bring in more of what you want, rather than the ones that look most technical.

What a conversion audit looks for

A website conversion audit follows the path a visitor takes, from landing on a page to getting in touch. Vantage checks whether every important page ends with a clear next step, whether forms ask for more than they need to, and whether there is a thank-you page: one way to track enquiries, and a reassurance to customers that their message was sent.

It also looks for the things people check before they trust a business they haven't used before: reviews, accreditations, an about page, contact details and a privacy policy. When they're easy to find, visitors are far more likely to get in touch.

One check to do yourself: fill in your contact form on your own phone and press send. It is a quick way to make sure every enquiry gets through, as most owners only ever test it on a computer.

Run a landing page audit before you spend on ads

The quickest way to get more from an ad budget is to make sure the page people land on is ready for them. Choose a single page, or list the exact pages your ads will send people to, and run a landing page audit before the campaign goes live.

Pair it with the Core Web Vitals speed test: a landing page that loads quickly on a phone keeps visitors reading.

Reading the audit score and working through the fixes

You get a score out of 100, with a breakdown for the journey to get in touch, messaging, tracking, design, trust, search and speed. Every fix says what it means for the business and what to change, sorted by impact and effort and listed page by page.

Start with the fixes that are high impact and quick to do. Download the PDF for whoever builds your site, or send the fixes to your Marketing Plan. When the changes are made, run the audit again and the score shows whether they worked.

For business owners and agencies

Business owners use a website audit to see their own site the way a new customer does. Agencies use it to audit a client's site at the start of the work, or a prospect's site before a pitch, alongside Prospect Finder.

How it works

Three steps

01

Enter the website and choose its main goal.

02

Pick a Quick or Full check and how many pages to read. It takes about two minutes.

03

Work through the fixes from the top, then run it again to watch the score move.

A Quick check uses about 5 AI credits, a Full check about 15.

Common questions about our website audit

What is a website audit?

A check of your whole site against the job it has to do, such as bringing in enquiries, bookings or sales. Vantage's website audit scores the site out of 100 and lists what to improve, ranked by the difference each change will make.

Is a web audit the same as a web page audit?

A web audit usually means the whole site, and a web page audit means a single page. Vantage does both: audit up to 25 pages, or choose exactly which pages to check.

Does the website audit include SEO?

Yes. Every page it reads gets a site SEO audit of the basics: titles, descriptions, headings, the sitemap and robots.txt. For a deeper SEO audit of one page, with the keywords it should target, use the SEO Auditor.

What is a conversion optimisation audit?

A check of how well your website turns visitors into customers. Vantage's website audit is a conversion audit at heart: it follows the journey from landing on the site to getting in touch and shows where to win more people over.

Can I audit a single landing page?

Yes. Choose 1 page, or list the exact pages you want checked, and run a landing page audit before you spend money sending visitors to it.

What is a lead generation funnel?

The path a visitor takes from landing on your website to getting in touch, booking or buying. The clearer each step, the more people get in touch, and the audit shows which steps to improve.

Quick check or Full check?

A Quick check covers everything except the design review and uses about 5 AI credits. A Full check adds an AI review of homepage screenshots on mobile and desktop and uses about 15.

How long does a website audit take?

Usually about two minutes, for up to 25 pages. Run it again after your changes and the score shows whether the fixes worked.
