Are you investing a lot of time in editorial content — but SEO success fails to materialize? Or are you wondering whether it is even still worth the effort now that AI supposedly writes texts on its own?
We give you a structured overview of the current state of your website content and show you how your content can finally rank better — and be reliably cited by AI systems.
What is inside a Content Audit
A Content Audit is a systematic inventory of your website content: We uncover weaknesses, evaluate relevance for users, search engines, and Large Language Models (LLMs), and prioritize optimization potential based on effort versus impact. What we evaluate:
- All content on your domain – product descriptions, category pages, and guides as well as images, videos, and PDFs.
- Typical content issues – Duplicate Content, Thin Content, and content formats that miss search intent.
- Relevant Onpage SEO factors – and whether the user experience is right.
- The citability of your content – structured, trustworthy, and clear enough for LLMs to pick up as a source?
The result: Clarity about the strengths and weaknesses of your content – and a solid foundation for user satisfaction, SEO performance, and visibility in AI systems.
Configure your Content Audit flexibly
The core package covers all relevant aspects. If you want to go deeper, you can add modules like Content Gap Analysis, Accessibility Check, or LLM Brand Check.
| Type of Check |
Core Package |
| Quantitative Checks |
Identification of showstoppers for crawling and indexing

For selected content pieces:
- Hygiene check: spelling
- Coverage of search intent / audience fit

| Content Gap Analysis |

| Accessibility Check |
Reviewing your website for accessibility according to WCAG – technically, structurally, and content-wise (contrast, readability, structure, keyboard navigation & co.)
|
| LLM Brand Check |
Reviewing whether and how your brand appears in common LLMs – visibility in popular LLMs (GPT, Gemini, Perplexity, etc.), presence of the brand in training data, sentiment, and referencing as a source.

Your path to better content: our structured audit process
A high-quality content audit always includes a quantitative and a qualitative analysis – from inventory to a prioritized list of action items:
Step 1: Inventory via crawl
Collection of all URLs while simultaneously retrieving all URL performance data via API
Step 2: Technical analysis
Review of quantitative attributes such as HTTP status codes, indexability, meta data, and HTML structure
Step 3: Content analysis
Audit of content with regard to tone, audience targeting, readability, and relevance
Step 4: User journey & conversion stopper analysis
Identification of weaknesses in the user journey and potential breaks in the conversion process
Step 5: Prioritization
Systematic evaluation of identified issues — always in the context of your website and competitive environment
What is the concrete output of the audit?
- Audit Report (PDF): A comprehensive report of audit findings including an overview of all reviewed issues and derived prioritized measures.
- Detail tables (Excel, optional): Additional audit results, such as meta data or URL lists requiring action.
- Wrap-up call (video call, 60 min.): Presentation of results, joint discussion of next steps, and room for individual questions – personal and practical.
When is a Content Audit worthwhile?
- Before a website relaunch: Only migrate relevant content, start lean.
- When merging domains or companies: Avoid duplicate content and ranking cannibalization.
- With declining rankings & traffic losses: Shows which pages need updates and where content should be consolidated.
- Without a clear content strategy: Brings order to historically grown websites.
- To increase efficiency: Optimize existing assets specifically instead of constantly producing new ones.
- For the AI readiness of your content: Are structure and phrasing suitable for citations in ChatGPT & Co.?

Tools deliver data. We perform the audit.
We operate completely data-driven: A professional tool stack captures your website\'s structure, content quality, duplicate content, internal linking, and user behavior. Data collection and processing runs largely automated via AI-assisted workflows – so effort flows into evaluation rather than manual labor.
Tools that output fully automated, turn-key audits should be treated with caution: They deliver a generic classification – without context on what is actually relevant for your website.
Our approach: maximum automation in data collection – maximum experience in evaluation.
From finding to finished text: our ONE Content Lab
A content audit is only valuable when the findings are actually implemented. That is exactly why we built ONE Content Lab – our proprietary system for AI-assisted content production. Starting from keyword, target URL, and page type, it generates Query Fan-Out, SERP check, and gap analysis, producing a complete content briefing – including finished text if desired.
This allows us to transfer your audit results directly into execution – both for optimizing existing content and creating new pages.
- Multi-Model Workflows
We combine Claude, Gemini, and Antigravity instead of relying on a single all-rounder. Each step runs on the model that handles it best.
- Validation Agent
A second, independent instance checks every result before it reaches you.
- Editorial Control
The rules reside in editable rule files, not hardcoded logic. At every point, guidelines can be overridden or passages regenerated.
Not off-the-shelf, but content audits that truly move you forward
Our team combines up to 28 years of experience in search engine optimization and content creation. Here is what sets our audit apart:
- Individual instead of standardized
No cookie-cutter templates, no carelessly exported tool reports – but audits tailored to your industry, platform, and goals.
- "State-of-the-Art" analysis methods
With AI and vector embeddings, we identify "content outliers" – pages that deviate semantically from the rest of your website. Virtually at the push of a button thanks to preconfigured setups.
- Insights from our own testing
We validate best practices ourselves – such as whether shop category pages perform better with longform, shortform, or no text at all.
What we stand for. And what you can rely on.
