Content audit for websites that grew without a plan

A content audit for Australian businesses: every page and post on your website checked and given a clear keep, update, merge or remove verdict.

Website review

A content audit that tells you what to keep and what to cut

Rock Solid Marketing audits the content of Australian business websites: we review every page and post and say which to keep, update, merge or remove. Maybe your blog has 200 posts written over ten years by three different marketers. Some still bring visitors. Others repeat each other or quote prices from 2019.

Old, thin and duplicated pages make a site harder for search engines and AI tools to understand, and harder for customers to trust. An audit gives you a list to act on, ranked by what will make the most difference.

Audits are billed at $175 + GST an hour. As an estimate, most small business sites take 4 to 8 hours. Start with a free 30-minute discovery call.

What you get

A web content audit built on your own data

We judge each page on what it actually does for you, not on how old it is.

Every page in one spreadsheet

Each page and post is listed with its traffic, search clicks, rankings, word count, last update and links, so you can see the whole site at once.

Real performance data

We pull visits from Google Analytics 4, clicks and impressions from Search Console and rankings from Semrush. Pages are judged on results, not guesses.

A clear verdict per page

Keep, update, merge or remove, with a line of reasoning for each. You can act on the list yourself or hand it to us.

Merges with redirects

When two posts cover the same topic, we name the stronger one and plan a 301 redirect for the other, so visitors and links carry across.

A website copy audit too

We also flag outdated prices, old staff names, offers that have ended and copy that no longer sounds like your business.

A walk-through call

We take you through the findings on a call and agree the order of work: quick fixes first, rewrites next, removals last.

How it works

How the audit runs

Four steps, with the hours agreed before any work starts.

  1. Free discovery call

    A 30-minute call about your site, how many pages and posts it has and what you want it to achieve.

  2. Access and crawl

    You give us read access to Google Analytics and Search Console. We crawl the site and pull the data.

  3. Score and decide

    Each page gets its numbers, its problems and a keep, update, merge or remove verdict.

  4. Walk-through

    We take you through the spreadsheet on a call and agree what happens first, whether you do it or we do.

In practice

How a site content audit works

When we moved Tristate Tours to a new website, we carried across 36 posts and 157 images with alt text. We also checked 116 old addresses so nothing was lost. Every move like that starts with the question an audit answers: what's worth keeping?

For an audit on its own, we crawl your site, pull 12 months of data and score each page. Content audit SEO checks sit alongside: duplicate titles, thin pages, broken links and pages competing for the same search. You get the spreadsheet and a call to talk it through.

  • A full crawl of every page and post
  • 12 months of GA4 and Search Console data
  • Rankings and duplicate topics from Semrush
  • Keep, update, merge or remove for each page
  • A spreadsheet and walk-through call

Less content, working harder.

Audits are billed at $175 + GST an hour. As an estimate, most small business sites take 4 to 8 hours, so about $700 to $1,400 + GST. Large blogs take longer, and we confirm the hours before we start. If your site only has a handful of pages, we'll tell you before we quote and may cover it on the discovery call instead.

It's a page-by-page review of everything published on your website, judged on how well each page performs and whether it's still accurate. The result is a list of what to keep, update, merge or remove. It's the groundwork for better SEO, a redesign or a new content plan.

It's the ongoing habit behind a one-off audit: checking your pages on a regular cycle rather than once. Many businesses do a full audit every year or two and a lighter check each quarter. It stops small problems, like an expired offer or a dead link, from piling up.

List every URL on your site, add each page's visits and search clicks, then judge it. Keep what performs and is accurate, update what's useful but dated, merge pages that cover the same topic and remove what serves no one. Redirect anything you remove or merge to the closest live page.

Agree the goal first, such as more enquiries or a cleaner site before a redesign, because it changes the verdicts. Then share one spreadsheet, give each page an owner and set a deadline for decisions. A content audit consultant can run the data and chair the review, while your team checks the facts.

You can perform a basic audit with Google Analytics 4, Google Search Console and a spreadsheet. Export your pages, add their clicks and visits, then sort by the weakest. Paid tools like Semrush add rankings and duplicate checks, which is what a content audit strategist uses on larger sites.

Review your key service pages at least once a year, and every time a price, team member or offer changes. Review blog content every year or two. Seasonal businesses should check before each busy season, so customers don't land on last year's dates or prices.

A content marketing audit looks beyond your website to everything you publish: blog posts, emails, social posts and videos. Check which pieces brought visits, enquiries or replies, and which topics you've covered too often. If you'd rather audit website content first, start there, because it's where most of your marketing sends people.
