Site Audit
Know what to improve before you commit.
Decide whether to improve, rebuild or connect what you already have. A Site Audit brings the relevant evidence into an ordered plan, shaped around the questions you need to answer.
When it helps
Unclear priorities are a good place to start.
The audit begins with the business question. The pages, systems and evidence we examine are agreed around it.
Your site feels stuck.
You have activity and reports, but no clear order of improvements.
You’re planning a change.
A redesign, migration or integration needs a stronger basis for decisions.
The journey is disconnected.
Search, content, inquiries and operational handoffs are not working together.
The agreed output
A plan you can make a decision with.
- A concise findings review
- Evidence behind each recommendation
- Priorities, dependencies and ownership
- Implementation options
- A plan for checking the work
Start by agreeing the scope.
We agree the questions, journeys, pages or systems to review, along with access, deliverables, timing, fees and review participants.
Use the evidence available.
Relevant inputs may include your objectives, stakeholder context, content, CMS, Search Console, analytics or system documentation. A public-only review has different evidence limits.
Choose the next step.
The outcome may be a focused improvement, further investigation or a larger implementation proposal. The findings should remain useful whichever route you choose.

The right improvement can start with what you have.
When Garlock needed a new way to communicate with its staff, One Cloud helped extend the website it already used.
A Site Audit can help establish where a focused improvement makes sense for your organization. This Garlock project shows our experience implementing that kind of change.
Garlock
A focused solution on an existing platform.
Share time-sensitive staff information during COVID-19 when the existing collaboration setup did not reach every employee.
Password-protected pages within Garlock’s existing Drupal website, developed in collaboration with its marketing and IT teams.
The team could share internal updates, documents and videos through those pages.
Before we start.
Can a Site Audit include AI search visibility?
Yes, where agreed in scope. Review how your brand appears for relevant questions, the accuracy of answers and citations, and the content and technical foundations supporting discovery. Findings can inform landing pages and measurement. Paid-channel feasibility is assessed separately; an audit does not guarantee inclusion or authorize campaign spending.
Is this a fixed package or price?
No fixed scope or fee is implied here. We agree the work, deliverables, access, timing and fees after discussing the questions you need answered.
Does an audit include implementation?
Implementation and ongoing management are separate unless expressly included in the agreed scope. The review should make the next decision clearer, without committing you to a retainer.
Does it cover every specialist assessment?
Specialist security testing, legal compliance assessment and full accessibility conformance audits require explicit scope. We identify when specialist work may be needed.
