Technical SEO for Next.js websites
A Next.js SEO audit for teams that need a diagnosis they can act on. We check the public pages, trace technical problems and turn the findings into prioritized developer tasks.
Standard audit: $1,050–2,100 USD, one time. Delivery in 10–15 business days after payment, the brief and agreed access. Implementation is scoped separately.
For English-language marketing sites, B2B services and focused catalogs serving US buyers. App Router or Pages Router: we check the version and architecture your site actually uses.
01 / Start with the problem
Important URLs have no visibility, or Search Console reports exclusions. We separate discovery, access, rendering and indexing evidence before recommending a change.
Titles, canonical URLs or internal links differ across templates. We check the affected routes and, with repository access, trace the behavior to the code that produces it.
A crawler has found hundreds of warnings. We verify the important ones, explain their reach and prepare a smaller backlog with owners and acceptance criteria.
A focused review can inform the launch plan. A full migration, redirect mapping at scale and release support need their own scope.
A technically accessible page can still lack useful content or relevant demand. If the next priority is the offer, content or measurement, the audit should say so.
02 / Checks with a purpose
HTTP responses, redirects, robots rules, sitemaps and internal links across the agreed page templates. We distinguish an intentional exclusion from a problem on a public page.
You receive: Affected URLs, response evidence and a proposed change.
What the initial HTML contains and what appears after rendering. We look for missing page content or links, rather than treating every Client Component as an SEO error.
You receive: A comparison of the relevant HTML and rendered page.
Page titles, descriptions, canonical URLs and language alternatives. We trace inconsistencies to shared layouts, route data or metadata generation when code access is available.
You receive: Template-level findings and exact examples.
Search Console reports and URL Inspection, with agreed read access. Public HTTP checks alone cannot confirm which URLs Google has indexed or chosen as canonical.
You receive: Known status, observation date and any missing access.
Available field data and focused lab checks on important templates. Rendering, images and third-party scripts are investigated when the evidence points there.
You receive: A diagnosis with field and lab results labeled separately.
Whether the page answers a buyer’s question, links to the right service or product, and offers a usable next step. We flag content or demand gaps that technical changes alone will not solve.
You receive: Content priorities alongside the technical backlog.
03 / An inspection of our own site
On October 3, 2026, we fetched the six language versions of Neaptide’s GEO service page. This is a small technical inspection of our own Next.js site, with the observations available to download.
| Language | Own canonical URL | Matching language links | Listed in sitemap |
|---|---|---|---|
| English | Matched | 6 languages + x-default | Present |
| Russian | Matched | 6 languages + x-default | Present |
| French | Matched | 6 languages + x-default | Present |
| Spanish | Matched | 6 languages + x-default | Present |
| Italian | Matched | 6 languages + x-default | Present |
| Chinese | Matched | 6 languages + x-default | Present |
Compare the canonical and alternate URLs returned by each language page with the expected public addresses and the sitemap.
The sampled controls passed. No changes were needed for these checks.
We did not inspect Search Console, query demand or field performance in this sample. Those remain separate checks.
This is a dated snapshot, not a live monitor or a client growth case. The indexing guide explains how to continue the diagnosis.
04 / A handover developers can use
Confirm routes, templates, business priorities, access and what lies outside the audit.
Record affected URLs, responses and report dates. Separate confirmed findings from open questions.
Describe the proposed change, dependencies, owner and acceptance test.
Review the backlog together. Agree who implements and what needs checking after release.

05 / Scope before commitment
$1,050–2,100
USD · one time · 10–15 business days
Exact coverage and fee are fixed in the proposal. Taxes are excluded. Extensive custom code investigation, large applications and migration delivery are quoted separately.
Use your own developers or ask us to scope the changes. We agree repository access, review, staging checks and release responsibility before implementation begins.
Monthly SEO Core includes 6–10 technical hours; Growth includes 12–20. These are shared program allowances, not unlimited development or a separate Next.js package.
Compare monthly plans and full terms →The standard audit is included in monthly plans. A standalone audit can be credited if you start a plan within 30 days, under the published terms.
We check the actual Next.js version and architecture. Major rebuilds, penetration testing and a full application security review are outside this service.
Our standard SEO Audit is $1,050–2,100 USD, excluding applicable taxes. It covers up to 1,000 agreed URLs and a manual review of 20–50 priority pages, with the exact scope confirmed in the proposal. Large applications, migrations and extensive custom code investigation need a separate estimate. Implementation is not included in the standalone audit.
We can quote an agreed set of changes separately or carry them out within a monthly plan’s technical allowance. The proposal identifies the repository or CMS, the reviewer, staging checks and release responsibilities. Your own developers can also use the findings and acceptance criteria.
A public-page review can start without account access. The paid audit uses agreed read access to Search Console and analytics where available. Read-only repository access helps trace a finding to its source. Write access is requested only when implementation is agreed.
Yes. We establish which router and Next.js version the site uses before choosing the checks. The diagnosis follows the actual responses, page templates and metadata behavior of that application.
No. We can verify access, rendered content and agreed fixes. Google decides whether and when to index a page. If the page is technically accessible but lacks useful content or relevant demand, another technical change may not be the next priority.
No. This is an SEO audit of the agreed public website. Authentication security, application penetration testing, a full code review, major migrations and rebuilding the website are outside the standard scope.
Our free introductory review covers up to three public pages and three priorities. No account access is required. Read the limits and send your URL and product description by email.
