Summary:

Brand A’s strengths are  largest market share in smartphone market and most advanced technology.
Brand B’s strengths are affordable prices without compromising with the overall phone quality.
Areas that need improvement is the Iphone X connectivity is need to be improved and Sony must adapt new phone designs as for now these designs are more simple looking.
The keyword sentences found on the sites were  -
1.Apple - Say hello to the future.
2.Sony - Make the ordinary Extraordinary.

 

Conclusion:

Include a conclusion that outlines which brand has the strongest SEO and performed best though the audit.  Were there any surprises?
·         In my opinion, Apple is having the strongest SEO as it offers a vast range of product information including the current smartphones and the upcoming technology updates as well. There were no surprises as the company is holding more than fifty percent of the shares in smartphone industry so they have to cope up with their quality and services to maintain their reputation. Sony is also doing very good to improve their services.
