Is your WordPress website slow, invisible on Google, or spending on ads with nothing to show for it? We audit WordPress websites, WordPress SEO, Google Ads accounts and site performance for Darwin and NT businesses. You get an honest assessment with a plain English report - no sales pitch, just the facts and your options.
Call 0412 606 287 Get a Free ConsultationEvery WordPress site has different problems. We offer six focused audit types so you get answers to your specific question, not a generic checklist. Each WordPress audit delivers a professional report in plain English with prioritised recommendations.
Most Darwin businesses we audit are spending $1,000-$3,000 per month on Google Ads with little to show for it. The problem is almost never "Google Ads doesn't work" - it's that the account hasn't been set up properly. We go through everything and show you exactly where the money is going, what's working and what's waste.
Our Google Ads audit is not a quick glance at your dashboard. We download your full search term data, review every campaign, every keyword, every location setting and every dollar spent. You get a professional report with clear recommendations - not a pitch to manage your ads.
Google Ads audit: 2-3 hours at $99/hr. You get a professional report in plain English with every finding explained and recommended actions. No ongoing management commitment required.
These are actual outcomes from WordPress website and Google Ads audits we've completed for Darwin and NT businesses.
Call or email us. We ask a few questions about your situation and recommend which type of audit you need. No obligation.
We go through your WordPress website, ads account, plugins, themes and configuration in detail. We check the things that matter and ignore the noise.
You receive a professional report explaining what we found, why it matters, and exactly what to do about it. No jargon.
Use the report to fix things yourself, hand it to your developer, or ask us to implement the changes. We quote any follow-up work separately.
We don't push unnecessary work. Our WordPress audit reports give you an honest picture of your situation with multiple options so you can make an informed decision.
Not every WordPress site needs a rebuild. If your site just needs a plugin update and better caching, that's what we'll recommend - not a $5,000 redesign. We prioritise fixes by impact so you spend money where it matters most.
Every recommendation in our report comes with options. For example: "Option A: fix the current theme ($297). Option B: switch to a faster theme ($594). Option C: full rebuild with landing pages ($792)." You choose what suits your budget and goals.
Running an old WordPress site with an outdated theme, old plugins or no security updates? We see this constantly. Our audit tells you honestly whether it's worth updating or if the site has reached end-of-life and a rebuild makes more sense. Either way, you get the facts - not a scare tactic.
You own the audit report. Use it to fix things yourself, hand it to another developer, or ask us to do the work. We don't hold anything back and we don't create dependency. If another developer can do it cheaper, we'll tell you.

A website audit is a detailed review of your website covering performance, SEO, content quality, technical setup and conversion tracking. We identify what is working, what is broken and what is missing. The result is a plain English report with clear, prioritised recommendations you can act on immediately.
Our audits are charged at $99 per hour. A website health check takes around 1.5 hours ($148.50 + GST). A Google Ads audit with full search term analysis takes 2 to 3 hours ($198-$297 + GST). A comprehensive website and SEO audit takes 2 to 3 hours. We confirm the expected time before we start so there are no surprises.
We offer six types of audit: website SEO and content audit, Google Ads audit, WordPress speed and performance audit, WordPress security audit, email deliverability audit, and hosting audit. Each one targets a specific problem area and delivers a focused report with recommendations.
Yes. Google Ads audits are one of our most requested services. We review campaign structure, search terms, negative keywords, geo-targeting, conversion tracking and budget allocation. Common findings include budget going to Display Network, ads showing outside your service area, and zero conversion tracking. We recently audited an account spending $2,000/month with zero conversions and identified $850/month in pure waste.
We start with a performance audit covering page speed, plugin conflicts, image sizes, caching configuration, hosting quality and mobile performance. We've improved sites from over 10 second load times to under 3 seconds. The audit identifies exactly what is slowing your site down and what to fix first.
Most audits are completed within 2 to 3 business days. A basic health check can be turned around in 1 day. Complex audits involving Google Ads data analysis or full SEO reviews may take up to 5 business days. We provide the report as a professional document in plain English.
Both - but there's no pressure to use us for the fix. The audit report gives you everything you need to fix the issues yourself or hand to another developer. Each recommendation comes with multiple options and costs so you can choose what suits your budget. If you want us to do the work, we quote separately. If another developer can do it cheaper, we'll tell you that too.
Yes. Our SEO audits, content audits and Google Ads audits work on any platform. Our WordPress-specific audits (speed, security, plugin health) require WordPress. If your site is on Wix, Squarespace or another platform, we can still audit your SEO, content quality and advertising.
We review everything: campaign structure (Search vs Display vs Smart), every search term that triggered your ads, keyword performance and match types, negative keyword gaps, geographic targeting, ad scheduling, budget allocation across campaigns, conversion tracking setup, network split (Search vs Display vs Partners), and ad copy quality. We download 9 months of historical data and analyse over 5,000 search terms. You get a full report showing where your money is going and what to change.
Common signs: you're spending $1,000+ per month but rarely get calls or form submissions. You see lots of clicks but no enquiries. Your ads show up for searches that have nothing to do with your business. You don't know what people are actually searching when they see your ads. If any of this sounds familiar, a Google Ads audit will show you exactly where the money is going and how to fix it.
This is one of the most common questions we get. The honest answer depends on your specific site. Some older WordPress sites just need a theme update, security patches and better caching - a few hours of work. Others have outdated page builders, abandoned plugins or security issues that make a rebuild more cost-effective than patching. Our audit gives you both options with costs so you can make an informed decision. We don't push rebuilds when a fix will do the job.
No. Our audit is an honest assessment, not a sales funnel. If your WordPress site just needs minor fixes, that's what we'll recommend. If a rebuild genuinely makes more sense, we'll explain why and give you the costs - but the decision is always yours. We've told plenty of clients their site is fine and just needs a tune-up. Our job is to give you the facts.
Yes. We review your situation over a quick phone call or email and tell you exactly which type of audit you need and how long it will take. No obligation. Call 0412 606 287 or email frank@sitedesignnow.com.
We are based in South East Queensland and service Darwin, Gold Coast, Darwin, Ipswich, Moreton Bay and surrounding areas. All audit work is done remotely so we also service businesses across Australia.

Call 0412 606 287The new WordPress brings built-in AI to every website, and the time to act is now. We offer three services to help Darwin, and NT businesses get AI-ready, fix WordPress problems fast, and add a smart AI assistant to their site, with training included. Local support, no lock-ins, no jargon.
We offer a free audit that checks your PHP version, plugins, hosting and database. Most sites need minor updates. We handle everything on a staging copy so your live site is never at risk.
A contact form waits for a visitor to fill it in and hope you reply in time. An AI assistant responds instantly, 24 hours a day, answers the specific question they have, and captures their details before they lose interest and call a competitor. Most enquiries are lost because the response is too slow. AI fixes that.
Fewer missed enquiries (AI responds instantly, even at 2am), lower admin workload (common questions answered automatically), more bookings (AI qualifies leads and books appointments), and a better customer experience. Accurate answers every time, without putting anyone on hold.
It can answer customer questions 24/7, capture leads and book appointments, help shoppers find products, recover abandoned carts, send review requests, and follow up with past clients, all automatically, while you focus on your work.
Yes. An AI shopping assistant can answer product questions, help customers find the right item, follow up on abandoned carts, handle returns and refund queries, and send post-purchase review requests, all automatically. Stores typically see fewer support emails and higher conversion rates.
No. We tune the AI's tone to match your brand, whether that's a friendly tradie, a professional clinic, or a polished retailer. It uses your own words, service descriptions and FAQs. Most customers have no idea they're talking to an AI until they're told.
Most emergency fixes are resolved same day. Simple plugin conflicts are usually sorted within 2–4 hours. We prioritise broken sites, especially when WooCommerce or bookings are affected.
Not necessarily. Many sites on popular Australian hosts (Hostinger, VentraIP, SiteGround, WP Engine) will be compatible with minor configuration changes, mainly PHP version and memory limit. We check this in the free audit. If your hosting has restrictions, we'll tell you exactly what needs to change or recommend a better-suited plan.
No. We install the AI on your existing WordPress site. No rebuild needed. If you're currently on Wix, Squarespace or GoDaddy, we migrate you to WordPress first, then add AI from day one.
Yes, that's exactly what the training session covers. We show you how to add new FAQs, update service information, review conversation logs and adjust the AI's tone, all through your WordPress admin, no coding required.
Yes, we provide on-site consultations and training across Darwin, & NT. All technical work is handled remotely, but we can meet in person for discovery and training sessions.
Not getting enquiries from your WordPress website? Ads spending but no leads? WordPress site running slow? We audit WordPress websites, Google Ads accounts, WordPress performance and SEO to find exactly what's wrong and give you a clear plan to fix it. Plain English reports, no jargon, real recommendations you can act on.
A website audit is a thorough review of your website to find problems that are stopping it from performing well. This could be slow page speed, poor SEO, thin content, broken tracking, or wasted ad spend. Think of it like getting your car serviced - you find the issues before they become expensive problems. Most Darwin businesses we audit discover issues they had no idea existed.
Our audits start at $99/hour, and most take 1.5 to 3 hours depending on the scope. A basic website health check might take 1.5 hours ($148.50 + GST), while a comprehensive Google Ads audit with search term analysis typically takes 2-3 hours. We tell you the expected time before we start, so there are no surprises.
A professional report written in plain English - no tech jargon. It covers exactly what we found, why it matters, and what we recommend doing about it. Each recommendation includes what to do, why it matters, and the expected outcome. You can use the report to fix things yourself, or we can do the work for you.
Yes - this is one of the most common reasons businesses contact us. We've audited Google Ads accounts where over 50% of the budget was going to Display Network banner ads (worthless for local services), ads were showing across all of Australia instead of the local area, and there was zero conversion tracking. We find exactly where the money is going and give you a clear plan to fix it.
We run a full performance audit covering page speed scores, plugin conflicts, image sizes, caching configuration, hosting quality and mobile performance. We've improved sites from 10+ second load times down to under 3 seconds. Speed directly affects your Google ranking and how many visitors stay on your site.
