Free SEO audit · no email · 164 checks

SEO audit tool

An SEO audit tool reads your site the way search engines do and names what is holding it back. Ours runs 164 graded checks against official documentation, covering Google, the AI answer engines, security and accessibility. Google's guidance for its AI features is blunt: "There are no additional requirements to appear in AI Overviews or AI Mode, nor other special optimizations necessary." The fundamentals decide both, so we grade the fundamentals, worst first, in plain English.

Most SEO audit tools hand you a number and 40 suggestions with no sense of which one matters. We rank every failure by its real cost to your visibility. No jargon. No invented benchmarks. No flattery.

Free Visibility Scan: your whole site, up to 150 pages, no email. Full Report with PDF is a one-time $10.

What an SEO audit means now

Google still reads your HTML. So do the AI engines.

A site that passes a 2023-era SEO checklist can still be invisible to every AI answer engine, and invisible means zero citations, zero referrals, zero revenue from that channel. A real SEO audit in 2026 has to answer three questions:

QUESTION 1

Can Google's crawlers read your site?

Crawlability and indexability are prerequisite. Nothing else matters if the answer is no.

QUESTION 2

Does your content signal enough to rank?

Titles and meta descriptions are table stakes. Structured data, passage extractability and topical depth separate page 1 from page 5.

QUESTION 3

Can AI engines cite you in their answers?

llms.txt, AI bot permissions, answer-block formatting and citable facts are the new battleground. Start with AEO vs SEO if the terms are new.

What we check

164 graded checks in four tiers. Tier order matters.

116 on-page SEO, AEO and GEO checks plus the 48-check Vibe Audit (security, accessibility, privacy); 187 checks run per scan in total. A Gate failure blocks everything below it.

Gate · crawlability first

Can you be reached at all?

Googlebot access, AI bot access (GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot, Google-Extended), indexability via robots.txt and noindex, whether the page renders without JavaScript, and sitemap presence. A single Gate failure earns a BLOCKED verdict that overrides the score.

Core · baseline signals

Do engines understand the page?

Title tag, meta description, H1, structured data (JSON-LD) presence and completeness, answer-block readiness, content depth, mobile parity and mixed-content security. Getting these wrong makes everything else harder than it should be.

Amplifier · competitive edge

Do you win the answer?

Question-based headers, snippet eligibility, canonical tag, Open Graph, heading order, AI-readable passage structure, citable-fact density and llms.txt. These separate sites that appear in AI citations and featured snippets from sites that do not.

Hygiene · fix in a morning

The easy negatives, removed.

HTTPS enforcement, viewport tag, image alt attributes, lang attribute, proper 404 handling, redirect chains, image dimensions, author byline, freshness signals and more. Plus the Vibe Audit's security, accessibility and privacy checks.

Every check has a verdict, a plain-English reason it matters and an honest effort estimate. The reasoning links to the official documentation it is grounded in; it is all public in the learn library. We do not score things we cannot measure: the scan score is a crawlability and content-readiness diagnosis, not a ranking prediction.

Questions

Straight answers.

Is this tool free?

The diagnostic scan is free: your whole site, up to 150 pages, every failing check named, worst first, no email required. You pay only when you want the Full Report ($10 once) or ongoing monitoring.

How is this different from other SEO audit tools?

Most tools score you against arbitrary thresholds and bury the reasoning. Every check in AuditLamp cites the official Google, Bing or AI-engine documentation it is grounded in. We also grade AI visibility separately, because AI answer engines are now a real source of referral traffic and many sites block them by accident. The AI search optimization hub covers that whole layer.

What does it mean if my site is BLOCKED?

A Gate failure means at least one critical crawlability issue is preventing search engines or AI engines from reading your site properly. Your score is voided until it is fixed. We tell you exactly which check failed and what to do.

How long does a scan take?

About a minute for a single URL. Whole-site crawls take a few minutes depending on site size, up to 150 pages.

Does it work for local businesses?

Yes. The scan includes local SEO checks: service and place targeting, name-address-phone consistency, and local business schema.

Find out what is hiding your site.

We built this tool because we needed it ourselves: the standard audits said our site was fine while AI engines could not cite it. Free scan, no email. Worst problem first.
