Prepare access
An audit starts where the data lives. If access is ready on day one, the first week goes to findings instead of discovery.
Do
- Grant Google Search Console access as a domain property
- Set up at least viewer access in GA4
- Create a separate user for your CMS or site admin
- Install Microsoft Clarity if possible. It's needed for conversion analysis
Don't
- Don't share your own password. Always create a separate user
- Don't send only screenshots. Raw data is needed
