The 13-module SEO audit curriculum

The curriculum starts with technical SEO foundations and moves through the analysis needed for a comprehensive website audit. It addresses how a site is crawled and indexed, how its architecture is organized, and how content can be assessed as part of the wider review.

Competitor analysis is another part of the methodology, alongside systems for organizing reports and presenting findings. The training also covers client communication, so the work extends beyond identifying issues to explaining them to the people responsible for decisions.

Technical lessons include Core Web Vitals assessment, JavaScript rendering, mobile-first indexing and international SEO for websites operating across multiple markets. These subjects sit within an audit process designed to be used across different types and sizes of sites.

The business modules cover pricing audits, presenting findings to stakeholders and developing ongoing monthly retainer relationships from one-time audit projects. Module 11 includes proposal templates and pricing frameworks, while Module 12 introduces an approach to building a case study portfolio.

Examples of applying the audit methodology

The course describes examples of students applying its business and consulting methods. Marcus Chen used the Module 11 proposal templates and pricing frameworks when securing an $8,500 audit contract within 60 days of completing the training.

Other examples describe Sarah Martinez moving from an in-house SEO role to freelance consulting and reporting $34,000 in audit revenue during her first six months, and David Thompson raising his average project price from $500 to $3,500 over three months using value-based positioning.

Jennifer Walsh’s example describes building a technical SEO audit agency to $12,400 in monthly recurring revenue over eight months. Kevin Rodriguez’s example describes using the Module 12 case study portfolio approach to secure a Fortune 500 client within 90 days. These are individual examples, not guaranteed results.

Who the training serves

The course is aimed at SEO freelancers adding audit services, agency professionals seeking a more systematic technical process, and in-house SEOs considering a move into consulting or agency work.

It is also relevant to marketing consultants expanding into technical SEO and career changers developing specialized skills. A basic understanding of SEO is useful; although the course begins with foundations, newcomers may need supplementary resources for technical concepts.

Videos, PDFs and audit resources

The downloadable course materials include videos and PDFs across the 13-module training, plus audit templates and checklists based on enterprise client work. The proposal and pricing resources in Module 11 support the business side of preparing audit engagements.

The methodology is designed to work with familiar tools such as Screaming Frog, Ahrefs and Google Search Console rather than proprietary software. Its processes can be used by individual consultants or adapted into a consistent workflow for an agency or in-house team.
