The receipt

Before / after.

Your SEO company says they did work this period. Put two dated scans of your site side by side and see exactly what changed, across the 12 facts we track on every page, element by element. Proof, not spin.

How to read it

What the receipt shows.

Every audit you run on AuditLamp saves a dated snapshot of the pages we read. The receipt takes any two of those scans, your baseline and a later one, and compares them fact by fact. Nothing is re-crawled and nothing can be quietly rewritten after the fact: the comparison reads the saved snapshots, so the before is frozen on the day it was taken.

The verdict comes first, in one of three forms. Nothing changed means no tracked fact moved between the two dates. Cosmetic edits only means something moved, but nothing that changes how search or AI engines read the site. Real changes landed means work that matters actually happened: an element with real ranking weight changed, a check flipped, or pages were added or removed. Under the verdict sit the readiness score movement, the checks that broke or healed between the two dates, and a card for every page that changed.

The three views on every changed page

The overlay is the fastest read: the page's visible text with removals struck through in red, additions in blue, and unchanged text in black. The second view names each fact that moved. We track 12 per page: the title, the meta description, the canonical URL, the robots noindex flag, the H1, the structured-data types, the H2 and H3 headings, the Open Graph tags, the visible word count, the internal and external link counts, and images missing alt text. Each change carries a significance grade, so a rewritten title reads high while a small word-count drift reads low. The third view is the raw HTML diff, line by line, for when you want the unedited evidence.

Why we built this

Because "we did SEO work this month" is an easy invoice to send and a hard one to check. Most owners cannot tell whether anything on their site actually changed between two invoices, and most monthly reports are screenshots of dashboards, not evidence. A dated before and after of your own pages settles it in one look. If the receipt says nothing moved, ask your provider what the invoice covered. If real changes landed, you can see exactly what they were and whether the score followed. We wrote about how to run that conversation in is my SEO guy doing anything.

What is free and what is paid

You need an account, because the receipt reads your own saved scans. Signed in on the free tier you get the verdict, the score movement, the lists of checks that broke and healed, the element-by-element changes on every page, and the text overlay on your homepage. The overlay on your other pages and the raw HTML diff are on the paid plans. There is no separate charge for the receipt itself; it comes with the scans you already have.

How do I get a baseline?

Run an audit today. That scan is your baseline, stamped with its date and score. When the next scan lands, next week or after the next invoice, this page puts the two side by side. Scans saved before this feature shipped have no page snapshots, so your receipt starts from your first scan after it went live.
