Site Audit for small agencies and freelancers

Four jobs people who manage client websites do every month, and how Site Audit fits each one — including what it doesn't do.

Pre-launch check before a client site goes live

You're about to hand over a new site or a redesigned page.

  1. Audit each key page (home, service, contact) from Audits or from your AI assistant.
  2. Fix every high and medium item — noindex left on from staging, missing canonicals, placeholder titles, broken previews.
  3. Re-run and open the comparison to show everything moved to Fixed.

What you get: A dated report per page listing what was checked, what passed and what was fixed — something to attach to the handover email.

Limits: Checks the HTML the server returns, one page at a time. It won't catch problems that only appear after JavaScript runs, and it doesn't crawl the whole site.

Monthly re-check for retainer clients

You look after a client's site every month and want to show what changed.

  1. Keep the client's important pages in your audit history.
  2. Once a month, re-run each page — one click per page.
  3. Send the comparison: fixed, new issues, still to fix, with the check version and dates.

What you get: A before/after record that shows regressions (a plugin update that added noindex, a template that dropped the meta description) as well as progress.

Limits: Re-runs are manual: there are no scheduled checks or alerts. Keep in mind the score is a heuristic for the same page over time, not a ranking.

“Why does our link look wrong on LinkedIn?”

A client shares a page and the preview has no image or the wrong title.

  1. Ask your assistant to run check_social_preview on the URL.
  2. It fetches the preview image and reports its status, type, size and dimensions, and which tags are missing or relative.
  3. Fix the tags, then use the platform's own refresh tool — platforms cache previews.

What you get: The exact cause in one answer, instead of trial and error with platform debuggers.

Limits: We read the tags and image the way crawlers do, but each platform applies its own rules and caching.

Client-ready reports without a big SEO suite

Your client wants a written summary, not a dashboard login.

  1. Open a saved audit and choose Printable report (save as PDF) or Markdown.
  2. Each finding has evidence, why it matters and a fix, plus a list of what the audit did not cover.
  3. Edit the Markdown into your own template if you like.

What you get: An honest, plain-language report you can put your name on.

Limits: It is a technical page check, not keyword research, backlinks or traffic data.

Where to start

Create a free account and run your first audit in the browser — no AI client needed. When you want it inside your assistant, follow the setup for Claude Code or claude.ai. See a worked example report and the full list of checks and limits.
