Semi-Annual Blog Audit

Keep your blog healthy, fast, and ready for every traffic season.

If you want your site to perform at its best (especially heading into busy seasons like Q4!) a quick check-in isn’t enough. The Semi-Annual Audit gives you a deep, expert review of your blog’s speed, accessibility, security, mobile experience, and overall performance.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this audit include implementing the fixes?

Not automatically. The audit tells you what needs attention and why. If you’d like us to handle the fixes, we’ll provide a quote based on the exact work needed (usually between $200–$400).

Do I need to be a current client to book this?

No. This audit is open to any blogger who wants an expert review.

How often should I do this?

Most bloggers benefit from an audit every 6 months, especially before busy seasons or after big content pushes.

Will this help with my SEO?

Absolutely. While it’s not a full SEO audit, improvements to speed, accessibility, layout clarity, mobile use, and recipe card setup all support better SEO and rankings.

Is this the same as the monthly maintenance plan?

No. The Monthly Maintenance Plan focuses on keeping things stable with updates and fixes.
The Semi-Annual Audit is a deep dive into performance, accessibility, and UX to help you level-up.
They work great together but are offered separately.

Can I book this even if someone else built my site?

Yes! As long as you have WordPress, we can audit it.
However, the remediation work could cost more than average if you are on someone else’s theme, and there may be more extensive recommendations since we work to build all of these recommendations into the custom themes we build and not all theme developers do.

When should I schedule my audit?

Ideally before your busy seasons or whenever you want a professional check-in on your blog’s health. Many bloggers schedule audits every 6 months to stay on top of changes.

How is this different from automated site scanners?

Automated tools can flag some issues, but they don’t understand context or prioritize what matters for your specific site. Our manual audit looks at the real user experience, considers your blog’s unique setup, and provides actionable recommendations that actually matter for your site, tailored to your needs.
