TapasSEO's Pre-Launch SEO Audit for New Builds is a site-wide, domain-level staging audit by Leverage (20+ years, 50+ countries). URL pattern review, internal-linking audit, canonical logic, content-to-intent mapping, schema baseline, indexation rules, and a pre-launch QA checklist your dev team runs before go-live — reviewed across the whole staging build, not page-by-page. The point: catch the structural issues that take months to fix once Google has indexed everything — while they still cost hours of dev time. $697, 15 business days, transparent pricing, no surprises.
The SEO mistakes baked into a launch are the same ones that take 3-6 months to recover from once they ship.
Wrong URL pattern? Change the route file. Missing canonical? Add it to the template. Broken hreflang? Fix one config line. None of this affects rankings because nothing is indexed yet.
Same fixes, but now you need redirects from the wrong URLs Google indexed, you wait for re-crawls, you eat ranking volatility, and you explain to leadership why traffic crashed in week 2.
Slug structure, consistency across templates, parameter handling, depth, trailing-slash policy, lowercase enforcement.
Orphan detection, hub-and-spoke validation, navigation depth, breadcrumb logic, contextual link patterns. All before you have content to fix.
Self-referencing canonicals, parameter URL canonicals, paginated handling, cross-domain canonical decisions. Verified per page type.
Every planned URL mapped to target query + intent. Duplicate-intent URLs flagged. Missing intent gaps surfaced before content is written.
Organization, WebSite, WebPage, BreadcrumbList plus content-type schema (Article, Product, FAQPage, etc.) verified per template.
noindex on the right pages (search results, parameter URLs, staging environment), index on the right ones. Sitemap-vs-actual diff.
Redirect mapping is a separate discipline. Pair this audit with our Safe SEO Site Migration service — built specifically for redirect mapping, page-by-page priority flagging, and 90-day post-migration monitoring.
The 25-30 point gate your dev team runs the day before go-live. If anything fails, ship is delayed until it passes.
Designed PDF audit plus a recorded walkthrough so your dev + content teams understand every finding.

TapasSEO is the productized arm of Leverage, a boutique SEO consultancy with 20+ years of experience across 50+ countries and 20+ languages. We have audited launches and recovered the launches that didn’t get audited — the patterns repeat.
Most SEO mistakes baked in at launch (wrong URL patterns, broken canonical logic, missing schema, internal-linking gaps, indexation problems) cost months to fix once the site is live and Google has indexed everything. Catching them in staging means a few hours of dev work instead of a 3-6 month recovery — and avoids the credibility hit of launching with rankings tanking from day one.
URL pattern review (clean slugs, consistent structure, parameter handling), internal-linking audit (orphan detection, hub-and-spoke validation), canonical logic (self-referencing canonicals, parameter URLs, paginated handling), content mapping (every URL on the staging site mapped to intent + target query), schema baseline check (Org, WebSite, WebPage, BreadcrumbList, plus content-type schema), indexation rules (noindex on the right pages), and a pre-launch QA checklist your dev team runs before go-live. This is a site-wide, domain-level audit of the staging build, not per-page work.
The Technical SEO Starter Setup ($497) is implementation — we deploy the sitemap, robots.txt, schema, etc. for you. This Pre-Launch Audit is diagnostic — we audit your dev team's staging site against the SEO foundation it needs and prescribe what to fix BEFORE go-live. Many clients do the audit first to validate the build, then ship the implementation themselves; others bundle both.
Pair this with our Safe SEO Site Migration service — built specifically for redirect mapping, page-by-page priority flagging, and 90-day post-migration monitoring. The Pre-Launch Audit covers the staging SEO foundation; the Migration service covers everything that has to happen the moment URLs change.
Yes — best to audit when structure is locked but content is still draft. We catch URL/linking/schema/indexation issues that are hard to change once content lives at fixed URLs. Some content recommendations come out of the audit too (intent mapping, missing pages, duplicate-intent pages) but the structural fixes are the highest-leverage outputs.
Transparent pricing, no surprises — fixed scope and price, documented before you order.
You receive the full deliverable from senior consultants — the audit, blueprint, plan, or instructions for your team to execute. Your team (or your dev) handles implementation. If you want hands-on implementation, upgrade to Leverage → — they will quote you a custom price for done-for-you delivery.
