📊 Website Audit Report

Countex (countex.io)

Prepared by Riot Agency · May 2026

🧾 Executive Summary

The current Countex website presents a clean and modern visual design, however it is not structured to perform as a lead generation or SEO-driven asset.

Has very limited page structure
Lacks search engine optimisation (SEO) foundations
Is missing key legal compliance pages
Does not build sufficient trust or authority
Provides minimal content depth and storytelling

As a result, the site is unlikely to rank effectively on Google, generate consistent inbound leads, or convert users at a high level.

👉 In its current state, the site functions more as a static brochure rather than a scalable business tool.
