SEO visibility check
Check whether your page can be found, indexed and understood — by a crawler and by the assistants people increasingly ask instead. One URL, no account.
The free run reads the URL you enter, plus its robots.txt, sitemap and llms.txt. Whole-site crawls, internal-link analysis and rank tracking start on a monitored site.
What this check actually reads
Rankings are an outcome, not a setting. This looks at the mechanics underneath them: whether a page can be crawled, whether it says what it is, whether it declares its canonical address, and whether it is readable and quotable by a machine.
- Indexability
robots.txt rules, noindex and canonical on the URL you enter — excluded by accident.
- Titles and share preview
Title, description and Open Graph cards: missing, too long or too short.
- Structured data
Product, article and organisation markup, and whether it validates.
- Sitemap
Whether the sitemap parses and the URLs in a sample of it respond.
- AI readiness
llms.txt, AI-crawler access and whether the page is readable as text.
What a result looks like
Description too short; no canonical declared.
robots.txt allows Googlebot and the AI crawlers.
In the sampled set; they return 404.
The report names each finding, what it was found on and the change that fixes it. No visibility score is issued — the number that matters is whether the page you care about is indexable, and that is a list, not a percentage.
A check tells you about today. Monitoring tells you at 04:00.
The expensive SEO failures are silent and instant: a staging noindex shipped to production, a canonical rewritten by a plugin, a migration that redirected the wrong half of a catalogue. Monitoring re-crawls on a schedule, diffs against the last crawl, and tells you which release changed it.
Common questions
- Is this the same engine as the paid monitoring?
- Yes — the same checks, run the same way. The difference is that monitoring repeats them on a schedule and keeps the history, which is what turns a number into a trend and a trend into an alert.
- Does testing my site slow it down or change anything?
- No. Everything is read from the outside, the way a visitor arrives — no agent, no script on your pages, nothing written. Our requests identify themselves so you can recognise them in your own logs.
- Will this improve my rankings?
- Not on its own. It finds the mechanical problems that stop good content from ranking — and catches the day something breaks. Anyone promising rankings from a technical audit is guessing about an algorithm neither of us can see.
- Does it connect to Search Console?
- Yes, and it works without it. Connecting adds the queries and impressions Google will share; everything else — robots.txt, sitemap, metadata, structured data, AI readiness — is measured directly from your site.
