# SEO Audit Assignment

## Scenario

You have been asked to review a small business website that receives organic traffic but has inconsistent enquiries. Use a site you own, have permission to inspect, or a supplied sample site.

## Your task

1. Check indexability signals, status codes, redirects, canonical tags, sitemap and robots directives.
2. Review titles, headings, content usefulness, internal links, image alternatives and page intent.
3. Check mobile usability, accessibility basics and performance indicators.
4. Inspect available Search Console or analytics data if authorized; otherwise clearly mark data as unavailable.
5. Record each issue with URL/evidence, impact, confidence, effort, recommendation and retest method.

## Submission template

Provide an audit workbook and a prioritized top-10 action plan. Label each finding as observed, inferred or not tested. Do not claim a page is deindexed without evidence.

## Evaluation rubric

- Coverage and evidence: 25
- Correct diagnosis: 25
- Prioritization by impact and effort: 20
- Actionable fixes and validation: 20
- Clarity and honesty about limitations: 10
