How the audit works.

You tell us your website address, we audit it, and you get the report — what, why and the fix, explained in plain English. Nothing to install, and we never ask for your password.

How it works

Three steps. Nothing to install.

We never ask for your password, your hosting login, or access to anything. Everything we read is already visible to the outside world — which is exactly why it's worth reading.

01

Tell us your website address

We check straight away whether we can actually read your site properly. If we can't deliver a complete report, we tell you before you pay — not after.

02

We read your site

Your configuration, your certificates, your DNS and email records, your links — and the inside of your privacy policy, terms and refund pages. Every finding comes from a real check.

03

You get the report

What, why and the fix — explained in plain English. On Expert, a security professional reads it before you do and gives you their advice.

What we check

Four questions about your website.

You don't need to know the jargon. Here's what each one actually means for your business.

Compliance

Are you following the rules?

Australian law expects certain things on your website. Does your privacy policy actually say what it's meant to? Do your refund terms accidentally break consumer law? Can customers see who they're dealing with?

We check your privacy policy, terms, refund and shipping wording, ABN and contact details.
Security

Could your site be broken into?

Most small sites are hacked through a known weakness nobody got around to patching. Is your website software out of date? Does it show the padlock properly? Are there doors left open that shouldn't be?

We check your certificate, browser protections, known software flaws and public exposure.
Your email & domain

Can someone pretend to be you?

This is the one that costs businesses real money. Without the right settings, a scammer can send an invoice that looks exactly like it came from you — to your own customers. And could someone take your domain name?

We check your email anti-spoofing records and the protections on your domain name.
AI readiness

Can AI find and recommend you?

More customers now ask ChatGPT for a business like yours instead of searching. If those assistants can't read your site properly, you simply don't come up — and most owners have no idea whether they do.

We check the six on-page signals AI assistants use to understand your business.
Clear answers, plain English

What we found. Why it matters. What to do next.

Every finding in your report is laid out the same way, so you never have to decode a severity label or Google a technical term.

1

What we found

Every issue named plainly, alongside the things your site already gets right. We credit what's working, not just what isn't — and where a check couldn't run, we say so rather than showing you a green tick.

2

Why it matters

What each finding actually means for your business, your customers and your reputation. Not a severity score and a shrug — the real-world consequence, in a sentence you could read aloud to your accountant.

3

What to do next

Practical steps you or whoever looks after your site can follow. Where a fix genuinely needs a professional, we say that too, instead of pretending it's a five-minute job.

Know where your website stands

Five things a visitor judges you on — usually without realising.

None of these is technical trivia. Each one is a place where a customer, a regulator or an AI decides whether your business looks like it can be relied on.

Security

How your site is configured and protected against the ordinary, common risks — not exotic ones.

A site that leaks or breaks is the fastest way to lose someone's confidence for good.

Privacy

We open your privacy policy and read it, rather than checking that a link exists.

People increasingly want to know what happens to their details before they hand them over.

Compliance

The things Australian law actually asks for: your policy, your refund wording, your ABN.

Getting these right is the cheapest signal that you run a real, careful business.

Performance

Whether the site loads and behaves properly for the person trying to use it.

Slow and broken read as careless, whatever the truth is.

AI readiness

Whether an AI can read your site well enough to describe your business accurately.

More people now ask an assistant before they ask you.

And afterwards

Trust shouldn't just be said. It should be seen.

Fixing your website is quiet work — no customer sees the policy you rewrote. Every paid review earns a dated badge you can display, so the work becomes visible. It links to a page anyone can check, and it moves up as your website does.
