Rupe Ltd — combined audit

Executive summary

Rupe Ltd has a clear mission — supporting organisations and analysts with Power BI — and credible proof on the About page (hundreds of organisations helped, ~10,000 people trained, satisfaction scores above 4.75/5). The partnership with Nick Desbarats and Practical Reporting is a genuine differentiator. The marketing score of 57/100 (Grade C) reflects thin and inconsistent pages, weak conversion paths on key URLs, and placeholder copy on the Training page that undermines trust.

Biggest strength: Authority on About Us, plus the Nick Desbarats education pillar — rare third-party validation in a crowded Power BI training market.

Biggest gap: The Training page contains repeated placeholder copy unrelated to Power BI. The Contact page is nearly empty in the primary view, and Free Stuff must visibly deliver on its promise.

Top 3 actions: (1) Remove placeholder copy on Training/Coaching. (2) Rebuild Contact with form + visible details. (3) Shorten the homepage title tag and add proof above the fold.

Quick wins (this week)

1. Fix Training page placeholder copy — Remove generic IT/cloud/security paragraphs; replace with course-specific copy. Impact: Trust recovery.
2. Homepage title tag — Use ~60 characters, e.g. Power BI training, coaching & consultancy | Rupe Ltd. Impact: SERP clarity.
3. Contact page — Show phone, email, and address (mirror About). Impact: Mobile conversion.
4. Primary CTA — Link to public training booking or contact from hero. Impact: Clear next step.
5. Free Stuff — List real asset titles (blogs, downloads). Impact: Promise matches delivery.
6. home-new URL — Noindex or remove from sitemap if draft. Impact: Avoid duplicate URLs.

Long-term initiatives (this quarter)

• Content cadence — Monthly practical Power BI posts interlinked from Free Stuff.
• Video snippets — Short clips from training (with permission) for LinkedIn.
• Partner co-marketing — Webinar or asset with Practical Reporting / Nick Desbarats audience.

Executive summary (SEO & GEO)

This audit covers 30 URLs from the GoDaddy/Starfield sitemap (sitemap.website.xml plus blog entries in scope). The site is small but technical basics matter: Organization and FAQPage JSON-LD are not yet published; several pages lack canonical tags; the homepage meta description should be trimmed to the 150–160 character band; the Contact page needs a meta description, visible H1, and structured data. The Free Stuff folder contains strong long-form resources — ensure each has unique meta and internal links from Training and Coaching.

www.rupe.co.uk returns a 301 to the apex — good; keep marketing links on https://rupe.co.uk/.
