You launched your startup site months ago. You wrote every word, picked every image. Traffic is low, and the leads aren't coming. You're starting to wonder if your site is even showing up on Google. You need someone to look at the whole thing and tell you what's wrong, in plain English.

A real audit for a startup or solo founder starts with reading every page on your site. I look at your competitors, too. I find broken links, pages Google can't see, and words that don't match what your customers search for. I check if your site loads fast, if your forms work on mobile, and if your Google Business Profile is set up. You get a list of findings with screenshots, not a thick report full of charts. You'll know exactly what's costing you leads and what to fix first. No fluff. No acronyms. Just the stuff that moves the needle for a small team with limited time.

Startups run on tight schedules and tighter budgets. You don't have a marketing department. You're the founder, the salesperson, and the webmaster. That means you need an audit that tells you what to do today, not a six-month strategy. You need to know the one thing that will get you more calls this week. A generic audit buries you in data. A startup audit gives you a short list of fixes you can make yourself or hand to a developer in an afternoon.

The cost depends on how many pages your site has and how many competitors we look at. Most startup audits fall between $500 and $1,500. A simple five-page site with two competitors is on the lower end. A larger site with dozens of pages and more competitors takes more time. If your site is very small, it might be less. If you're in a crowded market, it might be more. But you'll always know the price upfront, no surprises.

When you're ready, you send me your site URL and a couple of competitors. I spend a few days reading every page, running tests, and comparing what I find. Then I put together a list of findings with screenshots and clear next steps. We hop on a call and I walk you through it. FocusDude is just me, Scott, so you talk to the same person from start to finish.

After the audit, you'll have a clear picture of what's working and what's not. You'll know exactly which changes will bring in more leads. You'll stop guessing and start fixing. You won't have a stack of recommendations you'll never read. You'll have a short list you can act on this week. Your site will finally do its job.
