You can do manual audit and tool audit. Since you asked this question tool audit would be the best solution for you.
Just go through ahref and SEMrush and audit it in the respective options. Always take Youtube help if needed.

I don't think so. I always use paid one.
But there is another option, you could add your website in ahref free tools. There you could get some insights free. This is like addin your website in GSC or GA.

Start by checking site speed, mobile-friendliness, and indexing status. Then review on-page SEO - titles, meta descriptions, headings and internal links. Scan for broken links and duplicate content. Finally, anlayze backlinks and use tools like Screaming Frog or Ahrefs for deeper insights.

I prefer to do SEO audits manually. Of course, tools are definitely needed for data. But if you send an audit generated purely by tools, your client likely won’t understand it—because it’s full of raw data and most clients lack SEO knowledge. For technical audits, Screaming Frog is one of the best tools to identify technical issues.

Use Screaming Frog or Sitebulb to begin a crawl in order to identify broken links, duplicate content, and redirect chains. Next, test indexing using Google Search Console and examine on-page SEO (headers, metas, and titles). Make sure to check backlinks for quality and toxicity and do a Core Web Vitals test. Extra advice: personally review a few sites just as Google does. You'd be shocked at what tools overlook.

An SEO audit checks technical issues (speed, sitemap, errors), content quality (titles, keywords), user experience (mobile, structure), backlinks (quality, spam), and overall performance (rankings, traffic).

At first you have to take some preparation for doing SEO audit.
- Proper SEO knowledge- study on ahref, semrush and so on.
- List down the requirement (knowledge/skill and tools)
- Check out with your skill and gap with the requirements.
- Fill out the gap
- Be in the corridor (Jump into the action), it will take you into right place.

Quick SEO Audit Checklist that's you can follow for your & client sites:

First think about what keywords you wanna rank for like what people actually search. Then Google yourself! See where you show up and how you look. Tools like Google Search Console and Google Analytics are your friends they give you tons of info. Make sure your site loads fast and works great on phones. Check your links too are they broken or weird? And don't forget your content! Is it good helpful and using those keywords naturally? Fixing all this stuff isn't super quick but it's worth it to get more people seeing your website. Good luck you got this!

I’ve been combining GSC with Ahrefs Webmaster Tools lately — the free version gives solid crawl stats when linked with your site. After that, I usually run a Screaming Frog crawl to spot internal linking issues and broken pages.
Recently ran this setup on a site and fixing the internal redirects + restructuring H1 tags gave a noticeable jump. So definitely worth looking beyond just tool reports and checking what’s actually happening inside the site.

For technical use, Screaming Frog
Then check the website content on major pages and add suggestion, check which pages need keyword additions, meta updates, and redirections

I usually start my SEO audits by checking site speed, mobile compatibility and indexing status (using site:yourdomain.com). Then I go through on-page stuff like titles, meta descriptions, and internal links. Tools like Screaming Frog or Ahrefs make crawling way easier. I also review backlinks, keyword usage, and look for duplicate or thin content.
