Website Audit Services for Agencies: Scope and Handoff

AuditWeb can provide remote website audit capacity for an agency's defined client project. The written scope should name the pages, questions, data sources, report format, branding and communication boundaries.

The service delivers investigation and recommendations. White-label files, editable formats, presentations, client contact and implementation are included only when the quote says so.

When should an agency use an audit partner?

Use an audit partner when the agency needs temporary review capacity, specialist evidence or an independent check. Keep strategy ownership with the agency and define the decision that the report must support.

• Overflow review: assign a complete audit with a fixed page and system scope.
• Second opinion: provide the existing findings and request evidence checks.
• Specialist question: isolate rendering, migration, accessibility or another agreed area.

How do branding and handoff work?

Branding and handoff are scoping decisions. Provide the approved template, tone rules, file format and attribution requirements before work starts.

A useful handoff includes affected URLs, dated evidence, recommended fixes, dependencies and verification steps. Review AuditWeb's completed report example before approving a format.

How are agency scope and pricing set?

A basic audit starts at $297 USD and a comprehensive audit starts at $997 USD. Multi-site, recurring, enterprise and custom-branded work is quoted after scope review.

Price should follow the number of sites, template sample, review dimensions, data preparation and deliverables. AuditWeb does not publish unverified wholesale margins or promise automatic discounts.

What is the agency audit process?

The agency submits an authorised brief. AuditWeb confirms scope and access, records evidence, drafts findings and delivers the agreed files to the agency contact.

1. Define the client question, affected properties and exclusions.
2. Confirm permitted data access and handling requirements.
3. Review evidence and distinguish confirmed findings from open questions.
4. Deliver the report with priorities and verification criteria.

Search Console or analytics access should be read-only where possible. Do not send passwords in the public form.

How is recurring agency work agreed?

Recurring work needs a custom agreement for volume, capacity, delivery dates, report formats and revision rules. A previous audit does not automatically set terms for the next client.

Ask for a quote using realistic quarterly volume and site complexity. AuditWeb confirms any discount in writing.

What should an agency prepare before enquiring?

Prepare the client URL, business question, priority templates, known changes, required outputs and deadline. State whether the client authorised external review and data sharing.

Use the agency SEO audit service when the scope is limited to organic search. Use this broader service when experience, accessibility or public security observations also belong in scope.
