We've been so busy refreshing videos, updating tools and creating exclusive reports that it means we've gone a while without auditing some new websites inside the training.

That changes today where I, Glen, look at two websites of SEO Blueprint members and share my feedback on what they can improve.

These were a bit tricky to audit since both sites have a lot of great elements in place, but each still had things to potentially work on.

You can find the two videos at the top of our Audits Blueprint page or you can get direct links to the two specific videos here and here. 

Taking advantage of new video player functionality that didn't exist when we first launched this course, we also highlighted issues along the playbar of the video you're watching:

This should make it much easier to skip directly to recommendations if you're short on time. 

In the first video you'll also see me perform a quick check of some new functionality in ScreamingFrog which should make auditing websites that much quicker.

I really hope you find these valuable!

I'm very excited to announce that our extension which allows you to massively speed up performing site: searches in Google (and finding issues on sites) is now live 🎉

You can get the direct link, here: https://detailed.com/site-search/

On that page you'll find a video explaining how the extension works, but let me embed it here as well...

Important Note: I set this extension to only show when it's clicked on in your browser bar. It's too distracting if it's enabled for every single Google search you make. At 1m 50s in the video I show you exactly how to enable that. 

This is probably the first and only update here that isn't exclusive for SEO Blueprint members, but because you've seen me use this so many times inside the training I had to share it here. 

Videos explaining the issues and more use cases will always be exclusive to members. 

As I state in the video, this is really for people who are auditing a few websites every month.

If you have SEO clients, want to find sites with issues to pitch services or just like finding problems on websites, you'll find this saves you a ton of time.

Otherwise, and I'm just being honest here, this probably isn't for you.

I promised we would have a lot of updates this year and you can hopefully see we are shipping at a rapid rate at the moment. There is a lot more on the way!

We've just went live with our first ever Superpixels-focused audit.

In non Glen-made-up-this-word terms, that means we're looking at a site from every other angle than straight up technical SEO.

It's a SaaS brand that has raised $17M USD to date, and we've reviewed it with permission, here: https://seoblueprint.com/brand-has-raised-17m/

Now of course, we haven't forgotten that this is an SEO-focused course. The word 'SEO' is in our name, after all. 

That said, a huge part of Superpixels is about taking things to the next level once you've already taken care of things like Technical SEO (at least as much as you can) and you want to make your life easier when it comes to link building and converting more customers.

I genuinely hadn't looked at this site for close to a year before reviewing it, but definitely found a few things I think should be improved.

I really hope you like this one!

While this audit isn't too different from other audits we have inside SEO Blueprint, I should mention that it's quite...blunt.

I cover quite a few issues on the website, but I don't go into detail on each specific one like I normally would.

Why? Well, we have so many audits where I've pointed out similar issues that I don't want to bore you.

Instead, I've tried to focus more on the site as a whole - giving attention to the breadth of the website, rather than its depth.

Here's the link: https://seoblueprint.com/cannabis-publisher/

Still, I am honored to have been able to look at the site and if anything else, it's testament to our course that all of the problems found have individual videos covering them in a lot of depth.

There's also a special announcement around the 15 minute mark if you haven't been following the comments inside the course, that I can't wait to share with you!

We've just went live with a new website audit for 2021: This time looking at the personal travel site of SEO Blueprint member, Jeremy.

Jeremy clearly knows what he's doing when it comes to SEO and building sites - and the site is in a niche that's clearly personal to him - but I (Glen) still felt like I had some good suggestions to offer.

You can view the audit here: https://seoblueprint.com/travel-site-with-passionate/

Jeremy has built a great brand and has some incredible social proof, but some areas of the website could do with a little "polish" to help him make the most of the traffic he's getting.

Thanks for the opportunity to look at the site, Jeremy, and we wish you the best of luck with it going forward!

A couple of weeks ago, in our members-only Facebook Group, we shared a new SEO extension we've been working on for the past few months.

It allows you to massively speed up day to day SEO work and includes a few features you won't find in any other extension.

Here's the link to the group post - https://www.facebook.com/groups/seoblueprint/permalink/484041405617336/ - where you can find more information.

Thanks to your amazing feedback, we've been adding a ton of features and just went live with version 1.1.

We plan to share this with the world in a few weeks, but would love to have you give it a try before anyone else.

(It should also help de-clutter your bookmarks bar a little as well).

It's 2020 and we plan to roll out just as many (if not a lot more) updates than we did in 2019.

We're still working on a lot of the private video audits we promised behind the scenes, but a few people did give us permission to put their video audit inside the course.

One person who gave us permission is New York Photographer James Maher.

You can find his audit here: https://seoblueprint.com/website-of-a-new-york-photographer/

Note: We didn't send an email about this as it's a smaller update, though we do plan to add another video tomorrow.

We have a lot of huge updates planned for 2020, and I can't wait to share them all with you.

As we've just closed the doors on our second ever opening, I thought it would be the perfect time to run a contest I've always wanted to be part of myself.

We're giving away up to $1,000 in SEO tool prizes (split among four winners), and in return, all you have to do is find something quirky or weird about the site I share tomorrow.

This is not a competition about who can write the most or who can spend the most time on a website: It's just a bit of fun, giving you a reason to put some of the on-site modules to the site and bringing our amazing community together.

The contest starts in 24 hours, and you can learn more about it in our Facebook group, here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/seoblueprint/permalink/451823655505778/

Even if you're brand new to SEO, you stand a chance of winning this one.

If all goes well, I would love to run more of these fun contests in the future, so let's see how it goes.

Remember: We want to build an elite and exclusive community, but we also want to be free from elitism and judgement, so if you wish to join our Facebook group with a pen name (as long as Facebook approve your account) that's totally fine.

If you've watched a few of my on-site audits already, then you'll know I'm a huge fan of ScreamingFrog.

It saves a lot of time when auditing a site, and helps you uncover issues you probably wouldn't have found otherwise.

One tool I'm a fan of, but haven't yet used on a site audit (at least not a recorded one), is Sitebulb.

Like ScreamingFrog, it's a premium site auditing tool designed to help you uncover problems. It does look quite different though:

Sitebulb is also set-up very differently to SF and takes a while to get used to, but I thought you might like to see how it works, so used it for my most recent update.

I really hope you enjoy this one. Lots more on the way!

Note: Due to this being a smaller update I'm not emailing it out to update subscribers.

I've just went live with an audit of a website in the education space, where I found a few opportunities for improvement on their site.

You can find the audit here: https://seoblueprint.com/analysing-a-site-covering/

I actually gave quite a long update to the sites owner in the comments with some feedback on why his homepage may not be ranking as well as it should.

It might give you some food for thought for the projects you're working on.

He's a really nice guy, so I hope we can help him with this one!
