Website Audit Training — Donovan

Open pipeline

Lesson 01 · Welcome & Overview

Own the process from prospect to conversation.

Donovan, your role is to find businesses whose websites are holding them back, use Search Atlas to uncover useful evidence, and start a helpful conversation by email. Be observant, specific, and respectful—the goal is value, not pressure.

Stage 1

Find leads

Build a qualified list from trusted public sources.

Stage 2

Audit the site

Use Search Atlas to turn observations into evidence.

Stage 3

Email results

Share one or two verified findings and offer the audit or a walkthrough.

02

Stage 1 — Lead Mining

Find businesses worth helping

Qualify before paying for a search or an audit. Know your target industry and location before searching, and only audit leads that pass the gate below. An observation like “looks outdated” is enough to qualify a lead — it is not yet a claim you can make in an email.

Where to look

  • Google Maps by service + city
  • Industry and chamber directories
  • Local “near me” business searches
  • LinkedIn company and owner searches

Good lead signals

  • Visibly outdated design
  • Pages load slowly
  • No clear call-to-action
  • Poor mobile experience
  • Services or location hard to find on the page

Capture every lead

Stage 2 — Search Atlas Audit

Run the audit and find the story

Use Search Atlas to replace a vague “your site could be better” message with clear, defensible findings. The audit tool is called Site Auditor, and every audit runs inside a project for the client’s domain.

  1. 1

    Open the tool

    Log in at dashboard.searchatlas.com. If this site isn’t tracked yet, go to the Dashboard and click “+ Create new” to add it as a project.

  2. 2

    Set the target

    Enter the business’s full domain, choose the target country, and add optional keywords and competitors. You can change these later.

  3. 3

    Run Site Auditor

    Open Site Auditor inside the project and start the crawl. Wait for the crawl and report generation to complete before reviewing results.

  4. 4

    Read the evidence

    Review Performance, SEO, Mobile, Security, and Core Web Vitals. Note red warnings, failed checks, unusually low scores, and content that does not clearly explain the business or its expertise.

  5. 5

    Prioritize

    Select up to 5 issues a business owner can understand. For each, re-check the affected page yourself and write down the actual result and the date. A score alone is not proof of business impact.

  6. 6

    Save the proof

    Export the audit report, or take clean screenshots showing the score and relevant finding.

Possible service discussion · AI search visibility

Something to raise on a call, not a finding to claim.

We can improve site structure, service descriptions, local details and question-based content so AI tools like ChatGPT can better understand the business. But an audit finding about site structure does not show that a business is missing from ChatGPT answers. Don’t put AI-search claims in outreach unless you have separate evidence, and never promise placement.

SEARCH ATLAS · REPORT READING

READY

Performance

Load speed, page weight, blocking resources

SEO

Titles, descriptions, headings, crawlability

Mobile

Responsive layout, tap targets, readability

Security

HTTPS, mixed content, exposed risks

Core Web Vitals

LCP, INP, CLS and user experience

Observation vs verified finding. “Looks slow” qualifies a lead. “The homepage took 6.8s to load on mobile (checked Sep 24)” is a finding you can send.

Stage 3 — Emailing the Client

Make the findings easy to act on

Lead with one or two verified, specific findings and offer the audit or a 15-minute walkthrough — don’t attach the report up front. The follow-up refers back to the first email, never to a report already sent. In the pipeline, the lead page builds this draft from verified findings and warns you about leftover placeholders or unsupported claims. You review and send it yourself.

Script A · Initial audit outreach

Subject: A quick observation about [Business Name]'s website

Hi [Client Name],

I’m with getassembled.co. I took a look at [Business Name]'s website and noticed:

• [Issue 1 — page, actual result, date checked]
• [Issue 2 — page, actual result, date checked]

I’ve put together a short audit with a few more details. I’m happy to send it over, or walk you through it on a free 15-minute call — whichever is easier.

Best,
[Your Name]
[Phone]

Script B · Follow-up after 5 days

Subject: Following up — website audit for [Business Name]

Hi [Client Name],

Just following up on my note last week about [Business Name]'s website. The short audit is ready whenever you'd like it — I can email it over, or we can go through it on a quick 15-minute call.

No pressure — just reply with whichever is easier.

Best,
[Your Name]
