The Foundational Integrity Plan
You already know that a standard technical SEO audit isn’t enough.
We built “The Foundational Integrity Plan” looking at startups and small businesses. Before you can grow, you must be sound. We’ll fix your foundation and give you a 90-day plan for your most immediate “quick wins.”
Who Is This For?
This plan is for startups, small businesses (including local), and new product launches. We understand you are “resource-constrained in time, development, and budget”. You can’t afford to waste a single dollar or developer hour on low-impact “SEO” tasks. You need a plan that is focused, prioritized, and respects your limits.
The Core Question We Answer
This Roadmap is designed to answer one simple, critical question: “Are we technically sound, are we measuring the right things, and what is the 90-day plan to capture our most immediate opportunities as part of our 12-month strategy? And, if we’ve had a recent site migration, what went wrong?”
What We Focus On
This is a lean, focused diagnostic designed for triage. We don’t waste time on advanced attribution modeling; we focus on what’s broken and what’s working. Based on our full analysis checklist, this plan is defined by its focus on core, high-impact systems.

Your Deliverable: The Foundational Integrity Plan
You receive a 12-month roadmap that is heavily front-loaded with a 90-day “Foundational Integrity Plan”. It is clear, concise, and built for action.
- Executive Summary:
- A one-page “State of the Union” that shows your indexing status, Core Web Vitals, and any critical manual actions.
- Foundational Integrity Scorecard:
- A simple “Red/Yellow/Green” scorecard for your core systems: GA4 Config, GSC Config, Sitemap Status, and (for local businesses) Name/Address/Phone (NAP) consistency.
- P0: Critical Issues:
- This is your “fires” list. We deliver a maximum of 3-5 critical issues (e.g., “noindex tag on homepage,” “site-blocking robots.txt rule”) that must be fixed now.
- 12-Month Roadmap & Resource Plan:
- This is the plan. We use an Effort/Impact matrix to give you a detailed 90-day plan focused only on P1 “Quick Wins” (Low-Effort, High-Impact). This is part of a full 12-month strategic roadmap that includes a cost and headcount forecast, allowing you to plan the necessary budget and team (in-house or external) required to execute the findings.
- Core KPI Validation Report:
- A confirmation of your 3-5 most critical KPIs. We verify that your key conversion events (e.g., ‘form submit,’ ‘purchase’) are firing correctly in GA4, so you can trust the data you use to measure success.
