SEO audit report PDF

    By LemAudit Editorial · Research teamLast reviewed

    This is a finished SEO audit report in PDF form, built from a real audit of a live website rather than a mock-up. It runs to four pages: a scored summary, the findings ranked by severity, the measurement behind each finding, and the raw numbers at the back.

    The file is generated in your browser the moment you click. There is no email form in front of it, because the people searching for an audit report PDF are usually mid-way through writing one of their own and a gate just sends them to the next result.

    The full audit of pearllemon.com72/100 across six pillars, 14 findings. No email, no signup; the file is built in your browser when you click.

    Same report, other formats

    What is in the four pages

    The layout is the one we send to prospects, so the page order reflects how a client actually reads a report rather than how an auditor collects data.

    • Page one: the headline score with the six pillar weights shown as arithmetic, so a client can see which pillar to argue about.
    • Page two: critical findings first, each with the measured evidence underneath and a named fix.
    • Page three: warnings, plus the checks that passed — the passes are what make the failures credible.
    • Page four: raw measurements, so anyone re-running the audit can reproduce the numbers.

    Why a PDF and not a dashboard link

    A PDF survives the forwarding. Audits get sent to a marketing manager who forwards them to a director who opens the attachment on a phone three days later, by which point a dashboard link has expired, needs a login, or renders differently.

    It also freezes the evidence. If you quote for the work described in the report, you want the client and you to be looking at the same numbers in six weeks, not at a live dashboard that has moved on.

    Using it as a PDF template for client work

    Most agencies want this file so they can copy the shape of it. The four structural choices worth copying are the weighted score shown as arithmetic, findings ranked by severity rather than by category, an evidence line under every single finding, and the passed checks left visible.

    If you want an editable starting point rather than a finished PDF, the Word version of the same report keeps all four intact and opens in Google Docs without Microsoft Office.

    Producing this PDF for your own site

    Running an audit on any domain produces this same report, in this same PDF layout, in about a minute. On paid plans the cover, colours and footer carry your agency instead of ours, and the report can be served from your own domain.

    Every finding, in full

    3 critical issues, 7 warnings and 4 passed checks. Each one records what was measured, not just a verdict — that evidence line is what makes an audit defensible when a client pushes back.

    Critical (3)

    No agent interfaces published

    AI & E-E-A-T readiness

    What we measured:
    Agent-interface score 5/100. No /.well-known/agents.json, no WebMCP script tags, no AGENTS.md.
    Recommendation:
    Publish agents.json declaring your key user flows, add AGENTS.md, and expose WebMCP tools so AI agents can act without scraping the DOM.

    Authorship and dates are invisible to machines

    AI & E-E-A-T readiness

    What we measured:
    Authoritativeness score 10/100. No schema.author, no machine-readable <time datetime=…>, 0 authoritative outbound citations.
    Recommendation:
    Add a visible author byline wired to schema.author, surface a publish/updated date in <time>, and cite two to three .gov/.edu/.org sources.

    Security header coverage is incomplete

    Security

    What we measured:
    Security pillar scored 48/100 against the header and transport checks.
    Recommendation:
    Add Content-Security-Policy, Strict-Transport-Security, X-Content-Type-Options, Referrer-Policy and Permissions-Policy at the edge.

    Warning (7)

    33 render-blocking scripts and 45 external stylesheets

    Performance

    What we measured:
    111 external resources in total; HTML document weighs 688 KB before assets.
    Recommendation:
    Defer non-critical JavaScript, combine and inline critical CSS, and drop unused plugin stylesheets. This is the single biggest lever on LCP here.

    No images are lazy-loaded

    Performance

    What we measured:
    0% of 58 images use loading="lazy"; only 41% use a modern format.
    Recommendation:
    Add loading="lazy" below the fold and serve WebP/AVIF for the remaining 59% of images.

    16 form inputs have no associated label

    Accessibility

    What we measured:
    16 unlabelled inputs, 14 links with no discernible text, no <main> landmark.
    Recommendation:
    Associate every input with a <label>, give icon-only links accessible names, and wrap the primary content in <main>.

    Only one question-style H2

    Content

    What we measured:
    AI citation score 55/100; one question-format heading across 14 H2s. Answer-first opening paragraph was detected.
    Recommendation:
    Convert two to three H2s into the questions people actually search ("What is…", "How do I…") — this is what answer engines quote.

    Primary call to action sits far below the fold

    Content

    What we measured:
    First CTA appears 7,268 px down the page. Conversion-readiness grade 88/100 otherwise.
    Recommendation:
    Move a primary CTA into the first viewport.

    Inconsistent NAP formatting

    Technical SEO

    What we measured:
    Two different phone-number formats detected across the page and schema.
    Recommendation:
    Normalise every phone number to a single E.164 format in both copy and LocalBusiness schema.

    No web app manifest

    Technical SEO

    What we measured:
    PWA score 3. Favicon and apple-touch-icon present; manifest and theme-color absent.
    Recommendation:
    Add a manifest.json with icons and a theme colour.

    Passed (4)

    Crawlability is clean

    Technical SEO

    What we measured:
    robots.txt present, XML sitemap available, canonical declared, all 18 priority AI bots allowed.
    Recommendation:
    No action needed. Re-check after any hosting or CDN change.

    Structured data is well covered

    Technical SEO

    What we measured:
    Structured-grounding score 90/100: Organization, LocalBusiness, Article-class and FAQPage schema all present.
    Recommendation:
    No action needed. Keep FAQPage in sync with the visible copy.

    Trust and social proof are strong

    Content

    What we measured:
    Testimonials, case studies, client logos, trust badges and a Trustpilot profile all detected.
    Recommendation:
    No action needed.

    Image alt coverage is near complete

    Accessibility

    What we measured:
    57 of 58 images carry alt text; a skip link and <nav> landmark are present.
    Recommendation:
    Fix the single remaining image and this check is clean.

    Raw measurements

    The underlying numbers the scores were derived from. A report that shows only scores is impossible to check; a report that shows measurements can be re-run by anyone.

    How 72/100 compares

    Every completed audit in the LemAudit database that carries a full pillar breakdown. Sites were submitted by agencies and prospects, so the sample skews towards small and mid-sized business websites rather than enterprise.

    The average site in that sample scores 65/100. Two patterns hold almost universally: accessibility and technical fundamentals are in decent shape, while content depth and machine-readable authorship are not. Content is the weakest pillar overall at 31/100.

    Frequently asked questions

    Is this SEO audit report PDF free to download?
    Yes, and there is no email step. The PDF is assembled in your browser from the data rendered on the page, so nothing is sent to us when you download it.
    Can I edit the PDF?
    Not directly — PDFs are meant to be final. Download the Word version instead if you want to edit the wording, or the Excel version if you want to sort and filter the findings.
    How many pages should an SEO audit report PDF be?
    This one is four pages covering 14 findings, and that is usually the right order of magnitude. Fifty-page audits are padded with screenshots and generic advice; what a client acts on is a ranked list of specific problems with the measurement behind each one.
    Whose website is being audited in the PDF?
    A site in our own group. We publish our own rather than a client's, which is the only way to show the failures as well as the passes without redacting half the document.
    Can I put my own logo on the PDF?
    On this sample, no — the fastest route is to edit the Word version. In the product, branding the PDF is a setting: your logo, colours and footer, with no vendor mark anywhere in the file.
