Doing SEO audit is not everybody’s cup of tea, as involves lengthy hours, and a concrete solution that needed to be offered to the clients. Most of you must not have heard about ‘What Is Strategic and What Is Tactical Audit’, and what role they have to share in Search Engine Business. Audit experts believe or feel that SEO auditing can be done in two ways or “do it all in one audit”, it matters from person to person and involves high comfortably.
Before I should move ahead, would like to clarify the Strategic vs. Tactical audits. There’s nothing like rocket science in this. It is as simple to know and implement as the subject itself.

Similarly, when it comes to SEO auditing then you can go any way. It’s highly your own priority how you want the things to be finished. If you own a profitable business, and it is in a movable shape till your clients are implementing all your provided recommendations. And if it’s not happening then you are cheating them even if you are running a highly profitable business.
But if you don’t want to be so ethical on this topic then no problem, but if you don’t want to cheat your clients and want that they should actually implement whatever is recommended by you, then you should sincerely follow the concept and be obedient to the strategic focus in the first audit. And in case your clients want your services for tactical, then there’s no surprise that they will visit you for the tactical and undoubtedly will carry a long-lasting relationship with you onwards.
The outcome then shows that you will run a more profitable business under more contracts than earlier. Accordingly, you’ll find a pattern of differentiation between strategic and tactical.
And whenever you separate strategic vs. tactical concepts during an SEO audit process, it enables you to gain goal-based valuable objectives, have a look:
