Why isn't my site ranking on Google?
Most sites that don't rank have the same handful of problems — broken indexation, slow mobile, missing schema, weak internal linking, hub pages Google quietly refuses to crawl. I'll diagnose yours in 48 hours and tell you exactly what to fix, in priority order.
Sound familiar?
You're probably here because one of these is happening:
- →Your site has been live for months but barely anyone finds it through Google
- →You've published content but pages aren't appearing in search results — even when you search for them directly
- →Google Search Console shows pages as 'Crawled — currently not indexed' and you don't know why
- →Your site loads slow on mobile but you can't pin down what's actually causing it
- →You're ranking for some queries but CTR is mysteriously low
- →Bing dropped your site from its index and the canned support response wasn't helpful
- →You used a template or AI-generated builder and now suspect the foundation is broken
Each of these has a specific technical cause. None of them are "your content isn't good enough" or "you need to wait longer." Most are fixable in days, not months — once you know what's actually wrong.
Why a real audit
Most "free SEO checkers" miss what actually matters.
Automated tools (Ahrefs, SEMrush, the free Lighthouse score) flag generic issues based on pattern matching. They tell you "title tags are too long" or "image alt tags are missing" — surface stuff. They don't tell you why Google is showing your URL for queries you don't care about, or why your hub pages are stuck in "Crawled — currently not indexed" purgatory.
That diagnosis takes a senior developer reading your GSC data, your sitemap, your schema markup, your internal linking, and your actual page rendering — together. That's what you get here.
I diagnose root causes, not symptoms.
If your site has nothing structurally wrong, I'll tell you and refund you.
The audit
Seven things I check, in detail.
Indexation diagnosis
I'll check exactly which of your pages are indexed in Google and Bing, and which aren't. For unindexed pages, I'll tell you why — Google's reasons are technical and specific, and most owners don't know how to read them.
Core Web Vitals review
I'll run your top pages through PageSpeed Insights, identify the specific elements hurting your LCP, CLS, and INP scores, and prioritize fixes by impact.
Mobile rendering check
Most ranking failures I diagnose come back to broken mobile layouts the owner never tested. I'll check your top pages across mobile viewports and flag what's broken.
Schema markup audit
I'll check what structured data your site is actually emitting versus what it should be. Missing or invalid schema is a common reason content gets ignored by Google.
Internal linking and hub page analysis
Often the indexation problem isn't the page itself — it's that nothing on your site links to it with enough authority. I'll map your linking structure and identify gaps.
Sitemap and robots.txt review
I'll verify your sitemap is clean (no junk URLs), your robots.txt isn't accidentally blocking important pages, and your canonicals are pointing where they should.
Prioritized fix list
Everything I find gets a priority score. You leave with a clear ordered list of what to fix first, second, third — not a 40-page report you'll never read.
How it works
From checkout to fix list, in 48 hours.
You buy the audit
Pay through Stripe. Takes 30 seconds. After checkout you'll get a short questionnaire — your URL, what you've already tried, what you suspect is wrong.
I dig in
I'll spend 90+ focused minutes on your site running diagnostics, reading your GSC data (you'll grant me read-only access), and pinpointing the specific issues hurting your ranking.
You get the report
Within 48 hours: a written diagnostic report covering everything in the audit, with prioritized fixes. Standard tier also includes a Loom video walking you through the findings in plain language.
Optional follow-up
If you want me to actually implement the fixes, we can talk about a project. No pressure — most clients take the audit and run with it themselves.
Real diagnostics, real sites
I do this on my own sites first.
I operate two of my own content sites. One is ranking on page 1 of Google for its core query at 30 days old. The other was deindexed by Bing — I diagnosed exactly why (mobile rendering issues + slow load time + low authority signals), shipped fixes, and re-submitted. The same diagnostic process I run on those is the one you get here.
Page 1 of Google at 30 days old
A niche content comparison site I built using the same structural approach I'll evaluate yours against. I'll walk you through the GSC data on a follow-up call if you want a deeper look.

FAQ
Questions before you buy.
How is this different from a free audit tool like SEMrush or Ahrefs?
Automated tools are pattern matchers. They flag generic issues based on rules, but they don't diagnose root causes. A tool will tell you 'your title tags are too long.' I tell you which queries Google is matching your site to versus which queries you're trying to rank for, and why those don't line up. Tools surface symptoms. I find causes.
What if my site has nothing wrong?
Honestly, most sites I audit have multiple structural issues, even when they look fine on the surface. But if I genuinely find nothing wrong, I'll tell you that and refund the audit fee. I'm not interested in inventing problems to justify the price.
Will fixing what you find guarantee my site ranks?
No, and anyone promising that is lying. SEO depends on factors outside any audit's scope — competitor moves, Google algorithm updates, content quality, backlink profile. What I can promise: the issues I identify are real, fixing them removes structural barriers to ranking, and your content will get a fair shot at search visibility. Whether it ranks after that depends on the content itself.
How fast is the turnaround?
48 hours from when you submit your site details. I block focused time for audits — most reports go out within 24-36 hours.
What stack and platforms do you cover?
I specialize in Next.js, React, and modern JavaScript-based sites. I can audit static sites, Jamstack builds, and most headless CMS setups. I do not audit WordPress sites — different ecosystem, different optimization patterns. I also don't take e-commerce sites (Shopify, Woo) or YMYL niches (medical, legal, financial).
Do I need to give you full access to my site?
Just read-only Google Search Console access. I don't need backend access, hosting access, or anything that could affect your live site. Everything in the audit is diagnosed from external observation plus GSC data.
What if I want you to fix what you find?
Either we can scope a fix-only engagement (priced based on the actual fixes needed), or you can roll the audit cost into a full Launch package ($2,500 build) and I'll credit the audit fee. Either way, no pressure to continue if you'd rather take the report and run with it.
Ready to find out what's actually wrong?
48-hour turnaround. Refund if I find nothing. No upsells, no consulting calls, no sales sequence — just a real diagnosis from a senior developer who's done this on his own sites first.
