SEO Audit Template for Your Brand Page: Find and Fix What’s Blocking Logo Discovery

Find whats blocking your logo from being discovered — fast

You launched a beautiful logo and a crisp brand page, but customers and partners still cant find it. That gap—between a brand asset and brand discovery—is where businesses lose trust, leads and conversions. This guide gives you a downloadable SEO audit template built specifically for brand and logo pages, emphasising quick wins that lift visibility and conversion in days, not months.

Why a brand-page-specific SEO audit matters in 2026

Search and discovery have changed. Audiences form preferences across social, video and AI before they ever type a query. As highlighted in Search Engine Lands January 2026 analysis, discoverability is now a multichannel system: social search, digital PR and AI answer engines together determine whether a brand is found or ignored.

“Audiences form preferences before they search. Discoverability is no longer about ranking first on a single platform.” — Search Engine Land, Jan 16, 2026

For logo and brand pages that means: it's no longer enough to just optimise a pages keywords. You must optimise the asset itself (files, markup, accessibility), the brands signals (structured data, citations), and how the logo shows up across touchpoints (social, knowledge panels, image search and AI-generated answers). For practical advice on how AI systems extract facts and match entities, see Gemini in the Wild.

How to run a brand-page SEO audit: step-by-step (use the template)

1. Run a technical health scan (10 630 mins)
   • Use Google Search Console coverage report and Indexing API to check if the brand page is indexed and how it appears in Search Console (queries, impressions, CTR).
   • Run Lighthouse/PageSpeed Insights to check Core Web Vitals and render-blocking resources.
   • Use an SEO crawler (Screaming Frog/Sitebulb) to find broken links, duplicate titles, and canonical issues. For a practical toolkit of real-world checks and hosted tunnelling, see our SEO Diagnostic Toolkit field review.
2. Verify structured data and knowledge panel readiness (15 645 mins)
   • Ensure Organization schema is present and includes a properly linked logo property (preferably an SVG or high-res PNG). Validate using Googles Rich Results Test or Schema Inspector.
   • Add sameAs links for official social profiles (LinkedIn, YouTube, TikTok if relevant) to help entity matching across platforms. Learn how AI agents pull context from profiles in Gemini in the Wild.
   • Check for existing Knowledge Panel entries and claim them where possible.
3. Audit image & logo files (15 660 mins)
   • List all logo files referenced on the page and in the asset area. Ensure an SVG is available for web (scalable, accessible, small file size). Provide optimized raster fallbacks in WebP/AVIF for browsers that prefer them.
   • Provide descriptive alt text that describes the logo & brand — include brand name and one defining attribute: e.g., “Acme Studios logo — minimalist teal mark with wordmark”.
   • Check favicon and mask-icon for PWA and mobile browsers; ensure consistent brand appearance across tabs and bookmarks.
4. Content quality & conversion audit (30 690 mins)
   • Does the brand page explain the brand quickly? Use the 10-second brand test: visitors should know what you do in 10 seconds from the page.
   • Check CTAs: Is there a clear action for agencies, media, or customers — e.g., “Download brand assets”, “Request a quote”, “Embed our logo”?
   • Assess supporting content: brand story, case studies, press pack, and media kit. Are these indexed and accessible to search engines? If youre publishing short-form promotional clips or asset previews, consider how to reuse them for social discovery and income opportunities (see short video monetisation).
5. Reputation & citation check (45 690 mins)
   • Search for brand mentions and images across the web; claim or request attribution where logos appear incorrectly.
   • Check business directories and Google Business Profile for consistent NAP (Name, Address, Phone) and logo usage.

Priority quick wins that move the needle (24 672 hours)

These tasks balance high impact and low effort so you can see measurable results quickly.

1. Add Organization schema with logo URL (SVG where possible) — Impact: high. Why: structured data is a direct signal for Knowledge Panels and AI agents. For implementation guidance and examples, refer to the SEO Diagnostic Toolkit.
2. Replace raster logo references with inline SVG (or provide SVG sprite) — Impact: high. Why: improves crispness in search results and reduces size when compressed.
3. Improve logo & image ALT text — Impact: medium-high. Why: helps image search and accessibility for AI summarizers.
4. Expose a media kit/brand assets page to search engines (noindex only if required for IP concerns) — Impact: medium. Why: journalists, partners and platforms will index assets and link back. To support outreach and asset-first PR, pair this with targeted local channels such as hyperlocal reporting.
5. Update Open Graph and Twitter/X meta tags to reference the preferred logo and brand title — Impact: medium. Why: social search surfaces logos from OG tags.

Technical fix list: the brand-page essentials

Use this checklist from the template. Each item has a suggested priority (P1 6P3) and estimated time.

• P1 (Immediate)
  • Implement Organization schema with logo (SVG), name, URL and sameAs links. (15 645m)
  • Ensure the logo file is reachable via HTTPS and returns correct Content-Type.
  • Fix broken canonical tags and ensure the brand page is canonical and indexable.
  • Compress and serve logos/images as WebP/AVIF with fallback PNG/JPG; keep an SVG for vector-based use. (30 690m)
• P2 (High)
  • Provide structured markup for breadcrumbs and contact info if the brand page functions as a hub for press and partners.
  • Inline critical CSS for brand page hero to reduce Largest Contentful Paint.
  • Audit mobile UX of the assets download flow; ensure files are not blocked by JavaScript or bot restrictions.
• P3 (Ongoing)
  • Set up canonical asset hosting and a CDN for logos (reduces latency and inter-site mistakes).
  • Version and cache-control headers for assets — give designers a stable URL pattern like /assets/brand/v1/logo.svg.

Brand content quality checklist

Use these content checks from the template to improve both discoverability and conversions.

• Headline includes the brand name and one value descriptor (e.g., “Riverside Coffee — Sustainable Micro-Roasters”).
• Subhead explains who the brand serves and why its different (10-second brand test).
• Hero image or logo is an SVG embedded early in the DOM to ensure its visible to crawlers and AI renderers.
• Media kit page includes files (SVG, EPS, AI, PDF, PNG), usage rules, and a short brand description as plain text for entity extraction.
• Include sample image captions and structured captions for logos used in case studies and press releases.
• Provide schema markup for PressRelease or NewsArticle when publishing coverage (helps AI summarizers and Google News).

Deliverables & file formats every brand should publish

Designers and agencies should provide an asset package that both humans and search engines can use. The audit template includes this checklist for handing to your designer.

• Vector master: AI + EPS + SVG (SVG should be optimised & accessible)
• Responsive logo variants: full logo (horizontal), stacked, icon mark, wordmark — each as SVG and PNG at multiple sizes
• Favicon & app icons: ICO, PNG, SVG, mask-icon, manifest icons
• Raster exports: PNG @ 1x/2x/3x, WebP/AVIF for web; JPG for legacy systems
• Print files: CMYK PDF, high-res TIFF where needed — if youre ordering printed brand collateral, see our VistaPrint coupon guide for cost-saving tips.
• Style guide snippets: colour hex/RGB/C, typography (web fonts + fallbacks), spacing rules, minimal usage dos/dontts
• Brand pack README: short text file describing each file and recommended uses (this matter for search and journalists)

Example: Schema JSON-LD you can drop in today

Copy this into the <head> of your brand page — replace placeholders with your data.

<script type="application/ld+json">
  {
    "@context": "https://schema.org",
    "@type": "Organization",
    "name": "YOUR BRAND NAME",
    "url": "https://www.yourbrand.example",
    "logo": "https://www.yourbrand.example/assets/logo.svg",
    "sameAs": [
      "https://www.facebook.com/yourbrand",
      "https://www.linkedin.com/company/yourbrand",
      "https://www.youtube.com/yourbrand"
    ]
  }

How to measure success — KPIs that matter for brand pages

• Impressions & clicks for branded queries (Search Console) — Are more people seeing your brand in search results?
• Image search impressions — Are the logo images showing up in Google Images and other image indexes?
• Knowledge Panel appearances and authoritative links — Did you reduce misinformation and increase correct citations? For tips on being cited by AI agents, see Gemini in the Wild.
• Media kit downloads and contact form submissions from the brand page — direct conversion metrics. Pair media-kit distribution with targeted outreach and local channels such as Local News Rewired.
• Referral links from journalists and partners — indicates digital PR lift.

Advanced strategies (2026 trends and future-proofing)

These tactics reflect the latest shifts through late 2025 and early 2026: AI summarisation, multimodal search, and social-first discovery.

• Entity-based SEO: Build a concise, crawlable brand narrative on the brand page so AI systems can extract facts about your entity quickly. Include short Q&A snippets for common brand queries like “What does X do?” and “Where is X located?”. For entity and context extraction mechanics, read Gemini in the Wild.
• Image schema + captions: Provide structured captions for logos and product images to improve AI and multimodal indexing.
• Social search optimisation: Publish short-form clips showing the logo and brand story on platforms where discovery happens (TikTok, YouTube Shorts). Use the same asset URLs and captions to reinforce entity signals. Short-form monetisation ideas are covered in Turn Your Short Videos into Income.
• Digital PR with asset-first outreach: Send journalists a single asset pack link with canonical logos and a short brand fact list — journalists often republish assets and link back. Pair this with local distribution strategies like Local News Rewired.
• Prepare for AI answers: Create a concise, factual section titled “Brand facts” with bulleted facts under 50 670 characters to increase odds of being cited in AI responses.

Common pitfalls and how to avoid them

• Hiding the media kit: Many businesses lock downloads behind forms. If you must gate assets, provide a short public summary and at least a preview image that crawlers can index.
• Diverse filename chaos: Inconsistent filenames for logos (logo_final_v2.png) confuse journalists and increase duplication — use semantic, versioned names.
• Large unoptimised SVGs: SVGs with uncompressed metadata can bloat pages. Optimise SVGs (SVGO) and remove editor metadata.
• No social links in schema: Without sameAs links, AI and search may misattribute your brand.

Audit workflow and timeline (team roles)

Heres a recommended sprint you can run this week with a small team (owner, developer, designer, PR person).

1. Day 1: Run technical and content scans. Assign P1 tasks. (Owner + Dev) — consider pairing your scans with a short tooling audit, as described in How to Audit Your Tool Stack in One Day.
2. Day 2: Implement schema, update logo files, and add ALT text. (Dev + Designer)
3. Day 3: Publish media kit tweaks and update OG tags. Start digital PR outreach. (PR + Content)
4. Day 4 67: Monitor Search Console and track downloads. Triage P2 tasks. (Owner)

Case example — quick win that worked

A small UK café brand updated its logo page with inline SVG, Organization schema and a public media kit. Within two weeks it saw a 78% increase in image search impressions and a 43% uplift in media-kit downloads. Why? Clean structured data, accessible assets and simple PR outreach made it easy for AI and journalists to find and reuse the logo correctly.
