See where your site stands — graded in minutes.
Our audit engine reviews your site the way a search engine does — 40+ checks across twelve categories — indexing, on-page SEO, security, email deliverability, page speed, AI readiness, backlinks, and local presence among them — then a real analyst walks you through what actually matters. Free, no obligation, and no access to your site required.
URL in. Graded report out. Analyst on the phone.
This is the same audit that starts every Actuate engagement — running it up front just means you see the findings before you spend anything.
What the audit checks.
The report grades the foundation search engines — and now AI assistants — judge you on: whether your pages can be found and indexed, whether your on-page basics earn their keywords, and whether your site carries the security and trust signals that keep rankings and email deliverability out of trouble.
Every finding is marked passed, to improve, or error — with how much it matters and how hard it is to fix — so the report reads as a to-do list, not a diagnosis.
- Indexing — robots, sitemaps, canonicals
- On-page SEO — titles, metas, alt text
- Security — SSL expiry, HSTS, headers
- Email — SPF, DMARC, DKIM
- Speed — Core Web Vitals, page weight
- AI readiness — crawlers, llms.txt, schema
- Backlinks — referring domains, domain rank
- Domain — expiry, typo & TLD exposure
- Branding, social & local presence
Each check is marked passed, to improve, or error — with impact and difficulty ratings. Traffic and Technologies are reported for context and never scored.
// real report output — client anonymized
Four real findings from one audit.
The grade is the summary; the findings are the value. These are verbatim from an August 2026 report on a WordPress site that scored 75/C — client anonymized. Note the range: an afternoon's alt-text work sits in the same report as a load-time problem worth more than everything else combined.
Image Alt Text error
22 of 36 images on the homepage were missing alt text.
medium impact · easy to solve
Screen readers and image search both rely on it, and it's an afternoon of work — the cheapest fix in the report.
Mobile LCP error
Largest Contentful Paint of 12.6s on mobile against a 2.5s target (lab data, Lighthouse).
high impact · hard to solve
Most visitors are gone before the page paints. This one finding outweighed every on-page tweak in the plan.
DMARC Record to improve
DMARC published, but with p=none — spoofed mail still gets delivered.
high impact · easy to solve
Nothing to do with rankings, everything to do with someone impersonating your domain. Most audits never look.
Custom 404 Page error
Nonexistent URLs returned HTTP 200 instead of 404 — a soft 404.
medium impact · medium to solve
Wastes crawl budget and lets dead URLs sit in the index looking like real pages.
The same report also passed 28 checks — indexing, canonicals, SPF, DKIM, schema, AI crawler access, NAP, backlinks. A good audit tells you what to leave alone, which is most of it.
Free means free. Here's how.
What the audit includes, what we need from you (almost nothing), and what happens after — plus how the findings feed an SEO engagement if you want one.
40+ checks across twelve categories — indexing, on-page SEO, security, email deliverability, performance, Lighthouse scores, AI readiness, backlinks, domain protection, branding, social presence, and local presence. Every finding is marked passed, to improve, or error, with impact and difficulty ratings, and a real analyst walks you through what matters most — before you spend anything.
The engine generates the graded report in minutes. The analyst walk-through comes after — we reach out to schedule it once your report is ready. Nothing to install, nothing to configure.
Really free, and no catch: this is the same audit that starts every Actuate engagement, so running it up front costs us little and tells you a lot. There's no obligation afterward — and if the report says your site is in good shape, we'll tell you that too.
No. The audit reviews your public pages and DNS records the same way a search engine does — no logins, no code snippet, no analytics access. If we work together after the audit, deeper access comes later, with your permission.
The engine reviews your site and generates the graded report, an analyst reviews it, and you get the findings with a prioritized action plan. Your team can execute the list without us — or we'll quote exactly what it would take for us to do it, fixed number, before any work starts.
