Lesson 15 of 1916 minBeginner

Your first site audit

Triaging issues by impact, not by count

Broken canonicals on money pages beat 400 missing alt attributes on a blog archive. Sort by traffic and template reach before you touch anything.

Why this lesson matters

This lesson belongs to Your first site audit, the part of SEO Foundations where the goal is: turn a raw crawl into a prioritised action list.

Read it once, then do it straight away on a real site inside RankAudit. Nothing here is theory for its own sake — every step produces something you can show a client.

Do it now

  1. 1Open RankAudit with sample data already loaded, so you are not stuck on setup.
  2. 2Crawl a site and triage the issue list.
  3. 3Export your RankAudit issue list, keep only the items that touch a page with traffic, and schedule them as tasks in RankOps for the next two weeks.
