01
Run a new audit
Define a URL, crawl scope, and keyword context before the checks begin.
- Open Website SEO Auditor.
- Enter an audit title and a complete public website URL.
- Choose homepage only or a focused crawl of up to 5, 10, or 20 pages.
- Add the target keyword, related keywords, and optional client.
- Run the audit and wait for the report to open.
02
Understand the score and grade
Use the score as a summary of performed checks, not a ranking forecast.
- Review the overall score, grade, and report summary.
- Compare passed checks, warnings, and failures.
- Check the page list to confirm the expected crawl coverage.
- Read the improvement guide before working through individual checks.
Keep in mind
A high score cannot guarantee search visibility. Content quality, competition, authority, indexing, and many external systems also matter.
03
Work through the improvement guide
Prioritize clear failures and high-value warnings instead of changing everything at once.
- Filter action items by page and status.
- Open the relevant website page or template.
- Fix the issue in the source system.
- Record important implementation decisions outside the audit when team coordination is needed.
04
Recheck after improvements
Use a fresh run to measure whether the observable signals changed.
- Open the saved audit list.
- Choose Recheck for the relevant audit.
- Compare score movement and changed findings.
- Investigate regressions rather than relying on the total score alone.
FAQ
Troubleshooting notes
Common questions that can save a support request.
Why were fewer pages audited than requested?
Some pages may be unreachable, blocked, duplicated, outside the crawl scope, or unavailable to the auditor.
Why did the score change after a recheck?
The page content, crawl coverage, response, or one of the measured signals changed. Review the comparison and individual checks.
