Free mini SEO audit: 15 things you can check yourself today in just 20 minutes

I’m Karina Vester Schultz, independent SEO and marketing consultant at Vester Marketing. This free SEO mini-audit brings together the same 15 points I check first whenever I run an SEO review for a new client. You don’t need any technical background to use it just your website, your Google Business Profile, and about 20 minutes. The audit covers four areas: technical SEO, content and on-page, local visibility, and AI search and GEO, which increasingly determines whether your business shows up in ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google’s AI answers. Download the PDF below, or scan the QR code, and work through the 15 points yourself, with no obligation.

What is an SEO mini-audit, and why spend 20 minutes on it?

An SEO mini-audit is a quick, high-level review of your website’s technical health, content, and visibility unlike a full SEO review, which goes deep on competitors, keyword potential, and a prioritised action plan. The purpose of the mini-audit is to give you an honest first impression: is the foundation in place, or are there gaps that are likely costing you visibility and customers today? For a small or medium-sized business, the same 15 points often decide most of your overall SEO health, and you can easily assess them yourself before deciding whether to invest in a full review.

What does the audit check?

The audit is split into four areas that together give a clear picture of your website’s SEO health. You don’t need to go through them in a specific order, but most people get the most out of starting with the technical foundation, since it’s often a prerequisite for the rest of the work to have any effect.

Technical foundation

The basics that decide whether Google and your customers can even find and use your site, including HTTPS, mobile-friendliness, page speed, an XML sitemap, and robots.txt.

Content and on-page

What tells Google what your pages are about, and what keeps visitors on the page once they land – unique meta titles and descriptions, correct use of H1, internal link structure, and descriptive alt text on images.

Local visibility

Especially relevant if your customers search for you in a specific geographic area – an up-to-date Google Business Profile, consistent NAP details (name, address, phone), and responding to reviews.

AI search and future-proofing

The new disciplines within GEO and LLM optimisation that decide whether your business is chosen as a source in AI-generated answers, FAQ sections with standalone answers, structured data (Schema.org), and content written as self-contained passages.

How to use your score

Once you’ve checked off all 15 points, add them up. 12–15 out of 15 means a solid foundation, where it’s mainly about ongoing optimisation. 7–11 out of 15 means there are concrete improvements available that are likely costing you visibility and customers today. 0–6 out of 15 means your website is likely missing out on organic traffic, and there are often quick wins to be had.
