What this is
An SEO audit tool helps you find technical and on-page issues that reduce visibility in search results.
The most valuable tools don’t just list issues — they help you prioritize and implement changes that create measurable improvements.
What ExplainMySEO checks
- Indexing and crawl signals (robots, sitemap, canonicals, status codes)
- On-page metadata (titles, meta descriptions, headings)
- Internal linking and site structure signals
- Performance and UX signals that support engagement
- Structured data and SERP appearance opportunities
Best practice
Focus on the pages that earn impressions and clicks first. Improvements on high-traffic pages compound.
Common issues we see
- Missing or inconsistent canonicals causing duplicate indexing
- Thin or duplicated titles/meta descriptions across pages
- Important pages receiving too few internal links
- No sitemap coverage for key pages
- Pages that are indexable when they should not be (or vice versa)
How to fix it (practical steps)
- Run a scan on your site and note the critical/high counts
- Fix crawl/indexing blockers first (robots, sitemap, canonicals, redirects)
- Tighten titles and meta descriptions on your top pages
- Improve internal linking to your most important pages
- Re-scan to confirm improvements and repeat monthly
Implementation order
Start with indexing/crawl issues, then metadata and internal linking, then content depth and enhancements like schema.
