A free website audit for your business, not a generic one.
Most audits are a PDF of the same 20 tips. This one asks what you already have, how customers reach you, and what would make the effort worth it, then returns a prioritized checklist written for that answer. Read it on this page for free, and email it to yourself if you want the working version.
Optional. Example: Hollister, San Juan Bautista, Tres Pinos.
Your checklist builds as you answer.
Answer all 5 questions and the full list appears here. No email needed to read it.
What you get
3 things a checklist has to do to be worth reading.
01
What to fix first
Every item is ranked. You get a clear first move instead of 30 equally urgent-looking suggestions.
02
Why it matters, in plain terms
Each item explains the mechanism: what search engines, AI assistants, or customers actually do differently once it is fixed.
03
A realistic time estimate
Minutes, hours, or days. So you can decide what to handle yourself and what to hand off.
The checklist is guidance, not a guarantee. Search and AI results vary by market, category, and competition, and no studio controls how Google or an assistant ranks or cites a business.

What is a free website audit?
A website audit is a structured review of what your online presence has, what it is missing, and what to fix first. This one is answer-driven: you tell us what exists today, how customers reach you, and what you want more of, and it returns a prioritized checklist you can work through yourself. Nothing here requires hiring us.
Do I have to give my email to see the checklist?
No. The full checklist appears on the page as soon as you finish the questions. Your name, email, and phone are only needed if you want it emailed as a working document and a personal read of your situation.
How is this different from the website scan?
The audit is about your business and what you want. The scan at /scan reads your live pages and grades the technical side: legal notices, accessibility, marketing claims, SEO, and AI answer readiness. Most owners run both. The audit tells you what to prioritize, the scan tells you what is broken.
How long does the audit take?
About 2 minutes. There are 5 multiple-choice questions plus an optional field for the towns you serve.
Will you try to sell me a website?
We will follow up once, personally, and tell you honestly whether a build makes sense. Plenty of the items on the checklist cost nothing and take an afternoon, and if that is the whole fix, we will say so. Pricing is published on the site so nothing is hidden behind a call.
Is the audit only for Hollister businesses?
Hollister and San Benito County are home base, and the local questions are written with San Juan Bautista, Tres Pinos, Aromas, and Paicines in mind. The checklist works for any local business, including Gilroy, Morgan Hill, Salinas, and Watsonville.
What happens to the information I submit?
It goes into our own system so we can send the checklist and follow up. We do not sell it, and we do not add you to a recurring email blast. You can ask us to delete it at any time by emailing hello@hollisterwebsites.com.
