Find out what is holding your rankings back
Most websites lose rankings to problems the owner cannot see. A proper SEO analysis surfaces them, explains why they matter, and tells you exactly what to fix first.
We crawl your entire website the way Google does and surface the technical, on-page, content, and backlink issues quietly suppressing your rankings. Nothing is glossed over. You get a full, honest picture of where your website stands in search today, not a sales pitch dressed up as a report.
Our SEO serviceEvery finding is ranked by impact and effort, so you never have to guess where to start. The prioritised fix list separates the quick wins from the bigger projects, giving you a practical roadmap you or your developer can action immediately. No jargon, no 60-page document nobody reads.
SEO in South AfricaThe audit is a once-off service from R3,500. There is no retainer and no obligation to continue with us. Use the findings yourself, hand them to your current agency, or ask us to implement the fixes. The choice stays entirely with you, and the report is yours to keep.
Local SEOWhat the audit covers
Every Juicy Designs website SEO audit examines the six areas that decide whether your site ranks. Here is exactly what we look at.
We crawl your full website the way a search engine does and flag the technical issues that block rankings: indexation and crawl errors, broken links and redirect chains, duplicate content, canonical and robots problems, XML sitemap gaps, mobile usability, HTTPS and security headers, and structured data markup. Every finding is logged with the affected URLs so nothing is left to guesswork. This technical SEO audit is the foundation everything else builds on. see full pricing.
Learn moreWe review every important page for the on-page signals that influence rankings: title tags, meta descriptions, heading structure, keyword targeting and intent match, image alt text, URL structure, and internal linking. We identify pages that are cannibalising each other, thin pages that need consolidating, and high-value pages that are under-optimised. You get page-by-page recommendations you can apply straight away to lift relevance and click-through from the search results.
Learn moreWe map the keywords and topics your South African audience is searching for and compare them against what your website actually covers. The content gap analysis shows where you are missing pages, where existing content is too thin to rank, and which topics your competitors own that you do not. The result is a clear content plan: what to create, what to improve, and what to merge or remove to build topical authority over time.
Learn moreYour backlink profile can lift your rankings or quietly hold them back. We audit the links pointing to your website, assess their quality and relevance, and flag toxic or spammy links that may need disavowing. We also benchmark your link profile against direct competitors so you can see how much authority you need to close the gap. You leave with a clear view of your off-page standing and a practical link-building direction.
Learn moreSlow pages lose rankings and lose customers. We measure your Core Web Vitals (LCP, CLS, INP) on real-world data, test page speed on both mobile and desktop, and pinpoint exactly what is slowing your site: render-blocking scripts, oversized images, server response times, layout shifts, and bloated code. Each issue comes with a specific, actionable fix so your developer knows precisely what to change to pass Google’s performance thresholds.
Learn moreAn SEO audit is far more useful when you can see how you stack up. We benchmark your website against your closest search competitors across rankings, content depth, technical health, page speed, and backlink authority. This shows where competitors are beating you, where you already have an edge, and the realistic opportunities to overtake them. It turns the audit from a checklist into a genuine competitive strategy. see full pricing.
Learn moreHow we work
Here’s what an SEO audit with Juicy Designs looks like, from the day you get in touch to the day you get your fix list.
We agree the scope and price up front (from R3,500), then take read-only access to your website analytics and Search Console. No long forms, no obligation to continue afterwards.
Day 1We run a full technical crawl, on-page review, content gap analysis, backlink audit, and Core Web Vitals testing, then benchmark you against your closest search competitors.
Day 2-5Every finding is written up in plain language and ranked by impact and effort. You receive a prioritised fix list that separates quick wins from larger projects.
Day 5-7We talk you through the report on a call so you understand what matters most and why. Ask anything. The report is yours to keep and hand to any developer or agency.
Day 7Fix the issues yourself, pass them to your team, or ask us to implement them. There is no lock-in, and your audit fee is credited if you continue with ongoing SEO.
What makes us different
Honest analysis. No vanity metrics. A fix list you can actually action. No lock-in.
We tell you what is actually wrong, not what is easy to sell. Our audit covers all six areas in full, with the affected URLs listed for every issue. No vanity metrics, no padding to justify a price, and no pressure to sign a retainer. Just a clear, honest read on where your website stands in search across South Africa.
Juicy Designs is a Google Partner with a 4.9-star Google rating from 200+ reviews. Founded in 2015, we have run SEO audits for 64+ South African businesses across e-commerce, services, and SaaS. Our auditors stay current with algorithm changes and AEO, so the fix list you receive reflects how search actually works today, not last year.
Your audit is run and reviewed by people who own the outcome, not a junior reading from a checklist. Founders Cobus and Wynand are directly involved. The audit is a once-off service with no retainer and no obligation. Use the findings yourself or ask us to help. The decision, and the report, stays with you.
Frequently asked questions
Straight answers about our website SEO audit. No jargon, no runaround.
Our SEO audit covers six areas: a full technical crawl (indexation, crawl errors, redirects, canonicals), an on-page review (titles, meta, headings, internal links), a content gap analysis against the keywords you should rank for, a backlink audit of your link profile, a Core Web Vitals and page speed assessment, and a competitor comparison.

A Juicy Designs website SEO audit starts from R3,500 as a once-off fee. The price depends on the size of your site and the number of pages crawled. There is no lock-in and no monthly retainer required. If you later choose ongoing SEO, the audit fee is credited toward your first month. See pricing details here.
You receive a written report covering technical SEO, on-page SEO, content, backlinks, and Core Web Vitals, plus a prioritised fix list that ranks every issue by impact and effort. We include a competitor comparison and a 45-minute walkthrough call to explain the findings in plain language. The report is yours to keep and hand to any developer or agency.
Most website SEO audits are completed within 5 to 7 working days from the day we get access to your site and analytics. Larger e-commerce sites with thousands of URLs can take up to 10 working days. We will confirm the timeline before we start.
No. The audit is a once-off service with no lock-in. Many South African businesses use the prioritised fix list to action improvements with their own developer. If you would prefer us to implement the fixes or run local SEO or national SEO on an ongoing basis, we can, but it is entirely optional.
Client results
Businesses that started with an audit and finally understood what to fix.
“We knew something was wrong with our website but had no idea what. The Juicy Designs audit listed 37 issues in plain English and ranked them so we knew exactly where to start. Our developer cleared the top ten in a week and our organic traffic started climbing within a month. Brilliant value for a once-off fee.”
“The content gap analysis was the eye-opener. Juicy Designs showed us exactly which pages our competitors ranked for that we had never even written. The audit paid for itself on the first three pages we published off the back of it. No retainer, no pressure, just a clear plan we could run with ourselves.”
“Our previous agency kept telling us the site was fine. The Juicy Designs audit proved it was not, with hard data on our Core Web Vitals and page speed. They handed our developer a precise fix list and our scores went green within two weeks. Honest, technical, and refreshingly free of waffle.”
