Your overall score is a weighted roll-up of each category, with the heaviest weight on issues Google has confirmed as ranking factors — indexation, Core Web Vitals and mobile usability. Every issue lists its severity so you can see what is dragging the score down and fix the highest-impact items first.
Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about how SearchVitals audits your site, what the results mean, and how to get started.
Audits & Reports
How is my SEO score calculated? expand_more
How often should I re-run an audit? expand_more
We recommend a full audit at least monthly, plus an extra run after any major site change — a migration, redesign, template change or large content release. Re-running lets you confirm fixes actually landed and catch regressions early.
Can I export or share a report? expand_more
Yes. Reports can be exported and shared with teammates or clients. The shareable view keeps the prioritised issue list and recommendations so non-technical stakeholders can follow along.
Data & Privacy
Is my site data kept private? expand_more
Your audit data is yours. We only crawl publicly accessible pages plus anything you explicitly grant access to, and we never sell your data or share individual reports with third parties.
Will crawling slow down my website? expand_more
No. Our crawler obeys your robots.txt and uses conservative, rate-limited requests so it behaves like a well-mannered search engine bot and will not overload your server.
Getting Started
What does SearchVitals actually check? expand_more
Every audit runs a full technical crawl of your site and scores it across the areas that move organic rankings: crawlability & indexation, Core Web Vitals and page speed, on-page SEO (titles, headings, metadata), structured data, internal linking, mobile usability and broken links. You get a prioritised list of issues with the estimated impact of each.
How long does an audit take? expand_more
Most sites finish in a few minutes. Larger sites with tens of thousands of URLs can take longer because we respect your crawl-rate limits — you will get an email the moment your report is ready.
Do I need to install anything on my site? expand_more
No. ailytics crawls your site the same way a search engine does, so there is no plugin, script or DNS change required to run a standard audit. Verifying ownership (optional) unlocks a few deeper checks.
Pricing & Plans
Is there a free version? expand_more
Yes — you can run a free audit to see your top issues and overall score without entering a credit card. Paid plans add scheduled re-crawls, deeper checks, history and larger URL limits.
Can I change or cancel my plan later? expand_more
You can upgrade, downgrade or cancel at any time from your account. Changes take effect on your next billing cycle and there are no long-term contracts.
