What is an SEO analysis?

An SEO analysis examines your website, collects data, and identifies issues and opportunities that affect your ranking in search results.

Privacy and data security: the data collected during the analysis is processed in accordance with the GDPR and is not shared with third parties.

An audit focuses on the factors that determine how search engines evaluate your site, so you can make targeted improvements and improve your ranking, provided the recommendations are implemented.

  • Content: Relevance, keyword usage, duplicate content.
  • Backlinks: Quality, quantity, anchor text.
  • Technology: Crawl errors, page load speed, mobile-friendliness, URL structure.
  • Page elements: Meta tags, headings, internal links.

Conduct a technical SEO analysis yourself

Yes, but you need a basic understanding of search engine optimization and the right tools. Specialized software and experience are often required for a thorough analysis. Follow these steps to conduct your own technical SEO analysis:

01

Crawl your site using a free tool.

02

Check for error messages (404s, redirects, duplicate content).

03

Analyze the URL structure and internal linking.

04

Generate a report with specific recommendations.

What free SEO tools can you use?

These services address issues that are often not fully visible when using free tools.

Google Search Console, basic indexing and performance (covers index status and mobile usability; paid tools are often required for in-depth technical analysis).

Ubersuggest, keyword ideas, and site audit (provides an overview of on-page issues; a paid product may be required for comprehensive backlink analysis).

SEO SiteCheckup, technical audit and score (shows crawl errors and speed; a specialized tool is required for server-level optimization).

How much does SEO cost per month?

The costs vary depending on your goals and whether you work on your own or hire an agency.

01

Costs of doing it yourself vs. hiring an agency

  • Do it yourself: Time investment, free tools, basic knowledge: €0 to €200 per month.
  • Firm: Professional audits, implementation, and reporting, €500 to €2,500 per month.
02

SEA as a complement to SEO

Paid search ads (Google Ads) can drive immediate traffic, while organic optimization takes time to take effect.

By using SEA alongside SEO, you can target relevant keywords, generate leads, and grow your site’s authority at the same time.

How does an SEO tool work?

A tool crawls your website, collects data on technical elements, content, and backlinks, and presents this information in a clear, easy-to-read report.

Analysis of backlinks and link structure

The tool shows which sites link to you, the authority of those links, and any harmful or lost backlinks.

Professional link building involves tactics such as guest posts and targeted outreach, which enable agencies to acquire high-quality new links.

Content and keyword analysis

You can see which pages are ranking well, which keywords offer opportunities, and where optimization is needed.

Interpreting the SEO Score

The score provides an overview of your overall SEO health. A higher score means fewer technical errors, better content, and a stronger backlink profile.

SEO score weighting: In practice, the score is often broken down as follows: technical factors 30%, content 30%, backlinks 30%, and other factors 10%. These weightings determine which categories have the greatest impact on the final score and form the basis for a prioritized action list.

From scores to concrete actions

01

Prioritize the errors that have the greatest impact on traffic.

02

Address content gaps and optimize existing pages.

03

Fix or remove bad backlinks.

04

Track your results monthly and adjust the plan accordingly.

Wij hebben onze website laten bouwen door YouthCommerce en zijn daar ontzettend tevreden over. Vanaf het eerste contact merkten we dat ze niet zomaar een standaard website maken, maar echt meedenken met je bedrijf en doelstellingen.

De communicatie verliep snel en duidelijk, en afspraken werden altijd nagekomen. Wat ons vooral opviel is dat ze niet alleen focussen op een mooi design, maar juist ook op resultaat: vindbaarheid, gebruiksvriendelijkheid en conversie.

Daarnaast kijken ze ook actief naar de volledige digitale ‘reis van de klant’ achter de schermen. Hierdoor krijgen wij beter inzicht in waar onze klanten vandaan komen en kunnen we veel gerichter bepalen waar we ons advertentiebudget inzetten. Dat geeft echt meer grip op onze marketing en voorkomt onnodige kosten.

Onze website ziet er professioneel uit en sluit perfect aan bij onze doelgroep. Bovendien denken ze continu mee over groei en optimalisatie, wat voor ons een grote meerwaarde is.

Kortom: een betrouwbare partij die doet wat ze beloven en nét dat stapje extra zet. Zeker een aanrader voor ondernemers die hun online aanwezigheid serieus willen aanpakken.
