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.
Identify All Critical On-Page SEO Gaps
The live SEO audit tool meticulously inspects up to 25 of your specified URLs, simulating a Googlebot or Bingbot crawl. It pinpoints concrete on-page deficiencies often missed by surface-level checks. This includes precise identification of titles that are too short (<30 chars), too long (>60 chars), missing entirely, or duplicated across the audited set. We provide not just the problem, but the exact character count and a clear path to correction, ensuring immediate actionability without guesswork.
Uncover Missing & Duplicated Meta Descriptions
Beyond titles, our tool aggressively scans for missing or duplicated meta descriptions, which are critical for click-through rates (CTR) in SERPs. It flags descriptions under 50 characters or over 160 characters as suboptimal, guiding you to craft compelling snippets. The audit also checks for the absence of H1 tags, identifying pages with a flat content hierarchy, making it harder for search engines like Google Searchbot and users to understand the primary topic. Each issue is presented with direct, copy-ready fixes.
Pinpoint Thin Content & Schema Markup Voids
Our crawler evaluates content depth, flagging pages with fewer than 300 words as 'thin content'—a known deterrent for search engine rankings. Crucially, it identifies missing JSON-LD schema, specifically looking for common types like Article, Product, or FAQPage. For pages with existing FAQ content, it verifies the proper implementation of FAQ markup, ensuring you leverage rich result opportunities. This detailed analysis ensures your content structure and semantic markup are fully optimized for modern search algorithms.
Verify Social Preview Tags & Actionable Solutions
The audit extends its reach to social media visibility, checking for the presence and correctness of Open Graph (OG) tags (for Facebook/LinkedIn) and Twitter Cards. Missing or incorrectly configured tags can severely impact how your content is shared and displayed on social platforms. For every identified issue—whether it's a missing OG:title, OG:image, or Twitter:card—the tool provides the specific missing tag and copy-ready HTML to instantly implement the fix. No more guessing; just precise, executable remediation.

More questions answered
- How many pages can I audit at once?
- Our live SEO audit tool allows you to crawl and analyze up to 25 distinct URLs in a single audit session. This focused approach ensures deep, actionable insights for your most critical pages, identifying issues like titles exceeding 60 characters or meta descriptions under 50 characters.
- What kind of user-agent does the crawler use?
- Our crawler emulates a standard search engine user-agent, specifically mimicking 'Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Googlebot/2.1; +http://www.google.com/bot.html)'. This ensures your site is analyzed exactly as Google (and other major search engines like Bingbot) would perceive it, uncovering real-world indexability and ranking issues.
- Does the audit detect JSON-LD schema errors?
- Yes, the tool rigorously checks for the presence and basic validity of common JSON-LD schema types such as 'Article', 'Product', and 'FAQPage'. It specifically flags entirely missing schema or significant structural issues that would prevent rich result eligibility, like an absent '@type' field.
- What defines 'thin content' in this audit?
- Our audit flags content as 'thin' if a page contains fewer than 300 visible words. This threshold is based on common SEO best practices indicating that minimal content often struggles to rank or provide sufficient value, impacting metrics like time on page and bounce rate.
- Will it check for Open Graph and Twitter Card tags?
- Absolutely. The audit comprehensively checks for critical Open Graph (OG) tags (e.g., 'og:title', 'og:image', 'og:description') and Twitter Card meta tags (e.g., 'twitter:card', 'twitter:title'). It identifies missing or improperly configured tags that are essential for optimal sharing on platforms like Facebook, LinkedIn, and X (Twitter).
- How quickly will I get the audit results?
- Results are delivered in real-time as the crawl progresses. For 25 pages, a comprehensive report is typically generated within minutes, often under 2-3 seconds per page. This rapid feedback loop allows for immediate identification and rectification of SEO issues, providing copy-ready HTML fixes.
- Can I export the audit report?
- Yes, once the audit is complete, you will have options to download or export the detailed report in various formats, such as CSV or PDF. This allows for easy sharing with your team or for use in your ongoing SEO documentation, including all identified issues and suggested fixes.
- What if my site blocks crawlers?
- If your site's 'robots.txt' file or server configurations block common user-agents like Googlebot, our crawler will not be able to access your pages. We recommend ensuring that the specified URLs are publicly accessible and do not block legitimate search engine crawlers to get accurate audit results.
