A SEO Content audit is very useful if you want to improve a website, especially a large and older one, for ranking in Google. This is one of the topics that we are covering in this course and of course which tools to use whilst doing a SEO content audit.

But how do you start a content audit? The first step of an SEO content audit is to create an inventory of your websites content. To find all the content of your website can sometimes be a hard job if you don’t know where to start. Luckily there are lots of tools to find this.
