Live SEO Audit
Crawl your site right now and get every title, description, heading, schema and thin-content gap with the exact fix.
Quick answer
A live SEO audit crawls up to 25 of your pages and reports the concrete gaps on each one: missing, short, long or duplicated titles, missing or duplicated meta descriptions, missing H1s, thin content, missing JSON-LD, missing FAQ markup and missing social preview tags — each with the fix and copy-ready replacement text.
What a live audit catches that a checklist cannot
A checklist tells you what good looks like. A crawl tells you which of your pages actually breaks it. This audit fetches your pages the way a search or AI crawler does, reads the rendered head and body, and reports each gap against the page it belongs to.
The eight checks
- Missing, too short, too long or duplicated title tags.
- Missing, too short or duplicated meta descriptions.
- Missing H1 headings.
- Thin content under 300 words.
- Missing JSON-LD structured data.
- Long pages with no FAQ markup.
- Missing Open Graph and Twitter preview tags.
- Pages returning error status codes.
Fix order that moves the score fastest
Start with critical findings on the pages ranked lowest in the table, then fix anything marked duplicate — duplicates usually come from a template, so one change clears many pages at once. Re-run the audit afterwards and your saved history shows the movement.

Build around the decision your audience is making
Industry-specific GEO starts with a real question, not a generic page containing an industry keyword. A software buyer may need compatibility, security and pricing details; a patient may need eligibility, risks and clinician qualifications. Write the answer in the language and jurisdiction of the audience, state who it applies to, and link the source of any claim. Search accessibility, useful content and trustworthy references remain important even when the final answer appears in an AI interface.
Choose evidence appropriate to the risk
For healthcare, finance and legal topics, name the responsible reviewer and cite current primary guidance. Include the effective date and applicable region; do not present general information as individual professional advice. For products, keep specifications, availability and prices consistent with the visible offer. For education or travel, verify eligibility, schedules, accessibility and cancellation details. No schema type or publishing frequency substitutes for accurate underlying information.
A worked example: a software integration question
For “Does this service work with our CRM?”, a useful page identifies supported versions, required permissions, setup steps, limitations and who owns support. A short comparison table can distinguish native integration, API integration and unsupported combinations. Link the actual documentation rather than inventing benchmark results. If the integration changes, revise the answer and dated limitations together; adding more general GEO paragraphs does not help the buyer.
Measure visibility without inventing industry benchmarks
Build a fixed set of relevant questions for each market and language. Record the engine, date, response, correct mention and cited URL. Monitor referral visits and business outcomes separately because many AI mentions produce no identifiable click. A before-and-after difference is an observation, not proof that schema or llms.txt caused it. There is no universal citation lift, market-share figure or guaranteed time to result applicable to every industry.
Evidence and next actions
| Check | Evidence to retain | Action |
|---|---|---|
| Healthcare | Current guidance, reviewer credentials, region | Verify safety claims before publication |
| Finance and legal | Effective date, regulation, scope | Separate facts from advice |
| Commerce | Live price, availability, product specification | Sync visible facts and matching structured data |
| Software | Versioned documentation and tested steps | Explain prerequisites and failure cases |
| Local services | Actual service area, hours and contact details | Remove unsupported location claims |
Implementation checklist
- Choose questions specific to the buying or service decision.
- State the language, region and eligibility clearly.
- Attach primary sources to claims that affect a decision.
- Use structured data only for information visible on the page.
- Distinguish search crawling from model-training controls.
- Measure each audience with its own unchanged prompt set.
A repeatable workflow
- 1Establish a baseline
Save the page URL, date, language, target market and exact questions before editing. Record what the page actually says and what each tested answer cites; a mention without a source link is not a citation.
- 2Make one coherent change
Resolve the clearest failure first, then check the published page rather than only an editor preview. Keep an implementation log so unrelated redesigns, campaigns or product changes are not mistaken for the effect of this work.
- 3Repeat and compare
Repeat the same questions and technical checks after deployment. Keep engines and measurement conditions consistent, report sample size, and inspect answer accuracy alongside citations. A single response is not a stable ranking.
More questions answered
- Does this guarantee an AI citation?
- No. A crawlable, accurate page can still be omitted. Retrieval, source selection and generated answers vary between products and requests; these checks improve the evidence available, not guarantee placement.
- How do I tell whether an improvement worked?
- Compare like-for-like checks and retain the underlying evidence. Track correct brand mentions, source-linked citations and qualified referral visits separately. Do not call a technical score a traffic forecast or attribute every change to one edit.

Run a full GEO + AEO scan on your siteFrequently asked questions
- What does the live SEO audit check?
- It crawls up to 25 pages of your site and checks each one for a missing, short, long or duplicated title, a missing or duplicated meta description, a missing H1, thin content, missing structured data, missing FAQ markup and missing social preview tags. Every finding comes with the fix and, where possible, copy-ready replacement text.
- Do I need an account?
- No. The audit runs on demand with no signup, and results are saved privately in your browser so you can compare runs over time.
- How many pages does it crawl?
- Up to 25. It starts at the URL you enter, follows internal links, and fills the rest from your sitemap when one is available.
- How is the score calculated?
- Each page starts at 100 and loses 18 points per critical issue, 9 per warning and 4 per notice. The site score is the average across all crawled pages, so fixing site-wide template issues moves it fastest.
