Quick Audit sample: 10 issues ranked by revenue impact

US$59 · PDF within 24 hours · ten issues ranked · pilot pricing on request

Store shown: one independent store — a demo, not a real merchant. No real domain, no invented rankings or traffic. The issue types, ranking order and fix format are exactly what a paid US$59 report contains. FACT

What the buyer gets

Ten issues found on live pages, each with the evidence, what it costs in revenue terms, the exact fix, who should do it, and the first measurement that proves it worked. PDF within 24 hours. No calls, no subscription.

FACT = measured on the page. INFERENCE = our judgement of the commercial cost; it is reasoning from public data, not a forecast or a guarantee.


The ten issues (ranked)

1. P1

Product schema has no offers block

Evidence

JSON-LD on 34 product pages contains name and image but no offers object.

Cost INFERENCE

Google cannot show price or availability in results, so every listing loses the price line competitors display.

Fix

Add offers with price, priceCurrency and availability to the product template once — every product inherits it.

Owner / validation

Dev, 1 hour. Check Rich Results Test on three URLs; price should appear within 2–4 weeks.

2. P1

Product images served at full resolution

Evidence

48 of 52 product images are requested without a width parameter; the hero image alone is 1.8 MB.

Cost INFERENCE

Mobile LCP measured at 4.4 s. At 3 s+, roughly half of paid clicks leave before the page renders — the ad spend is paid either way.

Fix

Append ?width=800 in the product card template and set loading="lazy" below the fold.

Owner / validation

Dev, 2 hours. Re-measure LCP on the same three URLs; target under 2.5 s.

3. P1

Six of the ten best-selling products have under 200 characters of description

Evidence

Shortest is 41 characters ("Amber & Oak 8oz"). None answers material, burn time or shipping.

Cost INFERENCE

These pages cannot rank for their own product names, so the only traffic they get is paid or repeat.

Fix

Rewrite the ten with 250–400 characters covering material, size, burn time and shipping — one afternoon of writing.

Owner / validation

Content. Watch Search Console impressions per URL at 30 days.

4. P2

Homepage has no usable meta description

Evidence

Tag missing entirely; Google generates the snippet from body copy.

Cost INFERENCE

The snippet reads like a brand line instead of a reason to click, depressing CTR on every branded impression.

Fix

Write one 150-character description naming the product category, the differentiator and the offer.

Owner / validation

Content, 15 minutes. Compare homepage CTR before/after in Search Console.

5. P2

71% of homepage images carry no alt text

Evidence

39 of 55 img tags have an empty alt attribute.

Cost INFERENCE

Image search is one of the few free traffic sources left; with no alt text those assets are invisible to it.

Fix

Fill alt text on the hero and the top ten product images first — that is where the demand is.

Owner / validation

Content. Check Image Search impressions at 30 days.

6. P2

Collection URLs missing from sitemap

Evidence

sitemap_products_1.xml is listed; no collections sitemap exists.

Cost INFERENCE

Category pages are the ones that rank for "soy candle", not individual products. They are submitted only by internal links.

Fix

Enable the collections sitemap and resubmit in Search Console.

Owner / validation

Dev, 20 minutes. Confirm coverage in the Sitemaps report within a week.

7. P2

Title tag reused across home, collection and product

Evidence

Three page types return the identical 58-character title.

Cost INFERENCE

All three compete for one phrase and Google picks the homepage almost every time — product pages never win their own query.

Fix

Template the title as {product} | {category} | {store} and keep the homepage title for the homepage.

Owner / validation

Dev, 1 hour. Track which URL ranks for one product query at 30 days.

8. P3

Two H1 tags on the homepage

Evidence

A theme section renders its own H1 above the page H1.

Cost INFERENCE

Split topical signal; Google picks one heading to judge the page.

Fix

Demote the section heading to H2 and keep one H1 that names the category.

Owner / validation

Dev, 15 minutes.

9. P3

Canonical points at the wrong hostname

Evidence

Homepage canonical is an example hostname; the site serves the bare domain.

Cost INFERENCE

Link equity is split between two hostnames and neither accumulates authority cleanly.

Fix

Standardise on one hostname everywhere: canonical, internal links, sitemap.

Owner / validation

Dev, 30 minutes. Confirm canonical in the rendered HTML.

10. P3

Homepage HTML is 780 KB before images

Evidence

Inline scripts and unused app blocks account for most of it.

Cost INFERENCE

Adds render delay on mobile even on fast connections.

Fix

Remove the two unused app embeds and defer the non-critical scripts.

Owner / validation

Dev, 1 hour. Re-measure LCP and total transfer size.


How the ranking works

P1 = revenue is leaking now and the fix is cheap. P2 = measurable loss, slightly more work. P3 = hygiene that compounds. Order is decided by impact ÷ effort, not by how interesting the finding is.

What this sample is not

  • Not a forecast. No traffic, ranking or revenue numbers are promised — nobody can promise those from public data.
  • Not a substitute for the paid report: yours lists the pages and URLs actually found on your store, ranked the same way.
