One specialist, not a production line.
The audit you get is done by me, from the first crawl to the final document. Not a junior under supervision, not outsourced to another country. The same person you are talking to now.
Most SEO firms put a junior on the work and an account manager on the explaining. On a freelance marketplace you buy a method blind — there is no way to check it before you pay. Here you can: I run the audit myself, with 9+ years of technical SEO behind it, and the whole process is on this page. Before payment, not after.
Why payment comes first: not because details are hidden. The method is spelled out below, line by line. You see exactly what you are paying for before you pay. That is more honest than a get-to-know-you call with no commitments, and faster than the weeks of back-and-forth freelance work usually starts with.

I do not fill in a twenty-point checklist. I read server logs to see where crawl budget actually goes — the level of detail most audits never reach.
Everything below is not marketing copy. It is the exact description of what I do. No "individual approach" without the details.
Nine steps, one to two weeks from access granted to the finished document. Steps 04–07 are the analysis, step 08 turns it into a plan, step 09 is who executes it. Each step below says what is done and with which tools — nothing here is optional or billed extra.
Pick a package, pay by card or invoice. If something in the scope does not fit your project, we agree on it before payment, not after. Work starts once payment is confirmed.
The site URL and, if you have one, the focus: what worries you most. Optional, but it narrows the first week to the thing that actually hurts.
Search Console, analytics, rank tracker, CMS or a staging URL. Read access is enough — nothing on the site changes without your developers.

Keyword map — which queries already bring traffic and which should but do not. Internal linking . An audit of existing pages: what to keep, what to extend, which articles are missing.
Five to seven real players from the top ten. Their sites, social profiles, links and keywords — by the same method as your site.
Everything from steps 04–07 becomes one document: technical fixes, content plan, link-building plan — outreach, digital PR, free placements through partnerships and brand mentions. Prioritised by week and quarter.
With "Audit & strategy" the document goes to your team. With "Audit + management" I keep going myself: briefs for developers and copywriters, contractors when needed, the project run like an SEO company of one.
One PDF document plus working spreadsheets.
