How to perform a share of SERP audit

1. Enter the all of the top BOFU Keywords into an Incognito Google search

2. Map out the first page’s results, noting if there is a Google Ad block in the top and/or bottom of the page.

3. After copying each link on the keywords tab, go to each link, one and by, and look for three things:

– Is the client listed anywhere?

– If it’s a list with us and other competitors, where do we rank?

– Is there an AdSense or DoubleClick banner/ad running on the page at all?

4. Open Semrush.com and put the URL in to determine if the page ranks for other BOFU keywords – Click on Organic Rankings.

5. Repeat for each keyword.

6. On the first tab, summarize the Opportunities found in each keyword tab (Which pages should we try and rank higher or at all, which pages have GDN placements, etc.)
