Free SEO Audit for Staffing Agencies
Staffing sites have to serve candidates and hiring clients at once, and the job board usually gets all the attention while the client-facing pages get none. That is backwards commercially: the client searches are the ones with revenue behind them. The audit examines both surfaces, including the job-listing markup that most applicant tracking systems get wrong.
Why staffing agencies struggle with SEO
Expired vacancies stay live and indexed, filling the site with pages that disappoint every visitor who lands on them.
Client-facing pages are a single "For employers" page, so sector and role-specific hiring searches are never targeted.
The job board runs on a subdomain or third-party ATS, so its content builds authority somewhere other than your domain.
What we typically find on staffing agencies sites
- Expired job listings returning 200 instead of 404 or 410
- Missing or invalid JobPosting schema
- Job board hosted on a separate domain or subdomain
- One employer page instead of sector and role pages
- Duplicate listings indexed under multiple URLs
How we check this
Nothing on this page is estimated. When you submit a URL the audit engine fetches the live page and runs the same probes on every site — the list above is simply the subset that fails most often on staffing agencies sites.
- Server-side HTML fetch: title, meta description, headings, canonical, hreflang, robots directives and internal links are parsed from the response body.
- Google PageSpeed Insights: Core Web Vitals (LCP, CLS, INP) and the mobile render, pulled from the free public API.
- Structured data: every JSON-LD, microdata and RDFa block is parsed and checked for the types this industry needs.
- Crawlability: robots.txt rules, sitemap presence and reachability, HTTPS and certificate validity, and a sampled internal-link check for 404s.
