Screaming Frog Audit Gauteng | Crawl Every Page on Your Website and Fix What Google Sees

Screaming Frog is the most powerful website crawler used by SEO professionals worldwide. We use it to see your website exactly as Google does, finding every technical issue holding your rankings back.

What Screaming Frog Finds That You'd Never Notice Manually

Screaming Frog is a desktop software tool that crawls your website the same way Google’s bot does. It visits every single page, follows every link, reads every title tag, checks every image, and reports on hundreds of technical factors. For a website with 50 pages, it would take a person weeks to manually check everything that Screaming Frog checks in minutes.

The issues it finds are not always obvious to website owners. You might look at your site and think it looks great, but Screaming Frog might reveal that 20 of your pages have duplicate title tags, 15 images have no alt text, 8 links are pointing to pages that no longer exist, and 3 pages are accidentally blocked from Google. Every single one of these issues chips away at your rankings without you knowing.

A Screaming Frog audit gives you a complete technical picture of your website from Google’s perspective, with every issue prioritised by its impact on your rankings.

⚠ Signs You Have This Problem
  • ✗Your website seems fine to you but rankings have been stuck or declining for months
  • ✗You don’t know whether Google can access and index all your important pages
  • ✗Some pages on your site get traffic but most seem invisible to Google
  • ✗You’ve added new pages or moved content but aren’t sure Google found the changes
  • ✗You suspect there are technical problems but don’t know how to find them
  • ✗Your website is more than 2 years old and has never had a technical audit

Quick Technical Health Checks You Can Do Right Now

These simple checks reveal whether Google can properly access and understand your website.

Run these technical checks from your browser and Google’s tools:

1
Type “site:yourdomain.co.za” into Google. The number of results shows roughly how many of your pages Google has indexed. If you have 50 pages on your site but Google only shows 20, something is blocking crawling.
2
Open Google Search Console (search.google.com/search-console, free). Click “Coverage” or “Indexing.” Look at the number of pages with errors. Even one page with an error is worth investigating.
3
Visit any page on your site and right-click. Select “View Page Source.” Press Ctrl+F and search for “noindex.” If you find it anywhere in the code, that page is actively blocked from Google’s index.
4
Click through 10 random links on your website. Does any page give a 404 error (page not found) or redirect you unexpectedly? Each broken or redirected link wastes the ranking power Google is trying to pass through your site.

What Our Screaming Frog Audit Covers

1
Full Site Crawl
We configure Screaming Frog to crawl every page of your website exactly as Googlebot does, capturing hundreds of data points per page.
2
Broken Links and Redirect Chains
We identify every broken link (404 error), temporary redirect (302), and redirect chain (pages that redirect through multiple hops) that waste crawl budget and ranking signals.
3
Title and Meta Audit
We check every page for duplicate, missing, too-long, or too-short title tags and meta descriptions, and provide corrected versions for every issue.
4
Image Alt Text Audit
We identify every image without alt text, which hurts both accessibility and image search rankings. We provide the missing alt text recommendations.
5
Canonical Tag Check
We verify that every page with a canonical tag is pointing to the correct URL, and find any pages where canonicals are missing or pointing to wrong pages.
6
Prioritised Issue Report
You receive a clear report with every issue ranked from highest to lowest impact on your rankings, with plain-English explanations of what each issue means.
