The problem

Is your website losing visibility?

Most websites losing organic traffic have already paid for SEO audits. The problem isn't lack of information — it's that those reports just say something is wrong without specifying where, why, or what to do tomorrow. Six months later the issue is still active and your SEO investment isn't moving the needle.

01

Cannibalization

Multiple URLs competing for the same keywords and hurting each other in the SERPs.

02

Duplicate or overlapping content

Partially identical pages that confuse Google's algorithm and dilute your ranking signals.

03

Algorithmic penalties

Specific URLs penalized by Helpful Content, Panda or spam updates without you knowing.

04

Low-quality AI content

AI-generated content algorithmically detectable as thin content with telltale AI patterns.

05

Wasted internal linking

Orphan pages and internal PageRank imbalances that throttle your site's authority.

Why traditional audits fail

They tell you «you have duplicate content», «your site has cannibalization» or «some URLs are penalized» — but they don't tell you which 127 exact URLs are affected, why Google considers them duplicates or has penalized them, which one should survive, or how to consolidate them without losing traffic during the process. Result: six months later the problem is still active and your SEO investment isn't moving the needle.

Methodology

4 dimensions of forensic analysis

Each dimension covers a different attack vector. Together, they give you a complete picture of your site's real health and a concrete priority order for fixes.

Dimension 01

Internal competition

We identify every page on your site competing against another for the same searches and hurting each other. We determine which one should survive and how to consolidate them.

  • TF-IDF + SBERT embeddings analysis
  • N-gram overlap detection
  • Canonical URL decision per conflict
  • Consolidation plan with zero traffic loss
Dimension 02

Toxic URLs

Pages that destroy your domain authority, attract penalties, or are already directly penalized by Google's algorithms.

  • Algorithmically detectable thin content
  • Spam update patterns
  • Classified by severity
  • Prioritized by business impact
Dimension 03

Algorithmic signals

We correlate every Google update and official paper, then identify which pages show algorithmically detectable patterns.

  • Measurable low lexical diversity
  • Repetitive trigram patterns
  • Helpful Content Update correlation
  • Evidence from Google's official papers
Dimension 04

Authority flow

We analyze how weight is distributed across pages: orphan pages, PageRank imbalances and improvement opportunities at zero external cost.

  • Detected orphan pages
  • Internal PageRank imbalances
  • Opportunities at zero external cost
  • Internal linking plan with optimal anchors
Chart 02

Cannibalization map before and after the diagnosis

Anonymized real case. Corporate site with 340 URLs in the B2B services sector. State of the topic cluster before the forensic diagnosis and after applying the prioritized consolidation plan delivered.

BEFORE 28 URLs in conflict · 12 cannibalized keywords AFTER 8 consolidated URLs · 0 conflicts PILLAR URL in conflict Toxic URL Pillar Cluster L2 Cluster L3
How to read the chart. On the left, the actual cluster state before the diagnosis: 7 URLs in cross-conflict (gray lines) and 4 toxic URLs (black) dragging authority without generating traffic. On the right, the architecture after applying the plan: a pillar page consolidates topical authority, 3 L2 cluster URLs cover secondary intents, and 4 L3 URLs target long-tail.
Result: 28 URLs reduced to 8, zero cannibalization, measurable improvement in top 10 rankings 8 weeks after implementation.
Process

3 weeks, no surprises

From data access to the implementation session with your team. Fixed timelines, clear deliverables, no delays.

Chart 03

The three weeks of the forensic process, milestone by milestone

The forensic diagnosis is a sequential, closed-end process, not a recurring service. Three weeks from data access to the implementation session with your team. Here is the full trajectory:

DAY 0 WEEK 1 WEEK 2 WEEK 3 START DELIVERY 01 02 03 Access & initial crawl Analysis + technical crawl 4-dimension analysis Full forensic diagnosis Delivery + session Report + Excel + actionable plan 90-DAY GUARANTEE →
How to read the chart. The process is linear and closed-end. Milestone 01 (Day 0): client data access and initial technical crawl. Milestone 02 (Week 2): full algorithmic analysis across the four forensic dimensions. Milestone 03 (Week 3): delivery of the executive report, the detailed URL-by-URL spreadsheet, and a 60-90 minute implementation session with the client team. The dashed line afterward marks the 90-day guarantee period during which we offer an additional session at no cost if the implementation is not clear.
1
Week 01

Access & analysis

Full site crawl, actionable report extraction and NLP analysis of the content corpus. Without this, any diagnosis is blind.

2
Week 02

Diagnosis & classification

Issue identification by dimension, classification by severity, prioritization by business impact and drafting of the technical report with all the evidence.

3
Week 03

Delivery + session

Delivery of the PDF report + Excel with affected URLs, problem, recommended action and status. 60-90 min session until your team can implement without doubts.

Mathematical evidence

Every recommendation comes with the scientific, mathematical and algorithmic evidence that justifies it. We don't ask for faith — we ask you to trust your own data.

03

Technical judgment

We don't sell tools or generic reports. We sell technical judgment and full professional responsibility over the final diagnosis.

04

Real experience

Specific experience recovering websites hit by Google algorithm updates, validated against real cases.

05

Implementation session

We don't deliver the report and disappear. We work with you until your team can implement every recommendation without doubts.

Comparison

Traditional audit vs forensic diagnosis

If you've paid for SEO audits before and the problem is still active, this is the concrete operational difference:

Feature Traditional audit Forensic diagnosis
Specifies exact affected URLs×
Identifies real cause (not just symptom)×
Mathematical and algorithmic evidence×
URL-by-URL action plan×
Priority order by business impact×
Implementation session included×
Actionable checklist for your tech team×

Chart 01

Forensic coverage vs traditional audit

A traditional SEO audit partially covers one or two dimensions. The forensic diagnosis covers all four with the same analytical depth. Here is the difference visualized:

Internal competition Toxicity Algorithmic signals Internal authority Forensic Diagnosis — coverage ≥95% Traditional audit — coverage 25-40%
How to read the chart. Each axis represents one of the four forensic dimensions. The covered surface indicates how deeply each methodology analyzes that dimension. A standard SEO audit limits itself to two vertices (typically internal competition and superficial linking) and leaves out the two dimensions of greatest impact in the post-Helpful Content era: granular toxicity and algorithmic penalty signals.

Implementation guarantee

If after receiving the report there's any recommendation your team can't implement with total clarity after the session, we resolve it in an additional session at no extra cost.

Our success isn't delivering the report. It's seeing it implemented.

Frequently asked questions

What everyone asks before getting started

How is this different from a traditional SEO audit?+
Traditional audits tell you «you have duplicate content issues» or «there's cannibalization». We tell you exactly which 127 URLs are affected, why Google considers them duplicates based on mathematical evidence (TF-IDF, embeddings), which one should survive, and how to consolidate them without losing traffic. Includes an implementation session until your team can execute without doubts.
How long does the full diagnosis take?+
3 weeks from data access to delivery of the report + presentation session. Week 1: analysis and crawling. Week 2: diagnosis and writing. Week 3: delivery and 60-90 minute implementation session.
What if my team can't implement the recommendations?+
Implementation guarantee: if there's any recommendation your team can't implement with total clarity after the session, we resolve it in an additional session at no cost. We also offer implementation services if you'd rather have our team handle it directly.
Does this service include fixing the problems?+
The base service includes the full diagnosis, technical report, URL-by-URL action plan and implementation session. The actual technical fixes are optional and quoted separately if your team can't or won't handle them internally.
What's the price of the diagnosis?+
Pricing varies based on site size (number of URLs to analyze), content complexity and urgency. After contacting us, you'll get a custom proposal in 24-48h. Generally between €2,000 and €8,000 for sites of 100 to 50,000 URLs.
What kind of website is this service ideal for?+
Ideal for sites with more than 100 URLs that are losing organic traffic, that have invested in content or links without seeing returns, or that suspect algorithmic penalties. Works especially well in competitive sectors: legal, health, ecommerce, education, B2B professional services.
How do I know my site really has problems?+
If your site is losing visibility, rankings and traffic, it's very likely being affected by one of these technical issues. Typical symptoms: progressive traffic decline with no apparent cause, rankings dropping after Google updates, content that doesn't rank despite being well optimized.
What's the difference between this and Ahrefs or Screaming Frog?+
Those are tools that give you raw data — they're crawlers. We're the technical judgment that interprets, analyzes, processes, calculates, cross-checks and gives you the actions you need to execute on your own data. We correlate with Google updates and tell you exactly what to do. The difference is like comparing an X-ray with the most advanced medical diagnosis available. You need both, but the real value is in the professional interpretation by the Autoridad Digital team and our proprietary software that lets us tell you the what, where, how and why.
