SEO audit
Satsu crawls your site the way a search engine does — following links, reading robots rules and sitemaps — and checks every page it reaches. The audit covers the machine-checkable layer of SEO: the structural problems that silently cost rankings no matter how good the content is.
The categories
- On-page — the signals each page sends: unique titles and meta descriptions, exactly one H1, canonical URLs, structured data. Fully under your control and the cheapest wins in SEO.
- Crawlability — everything that decides whether a page
gets reached and indexed at all: robots.txt rules, sitemap coverage, redirect chains,
stray
noindexflags. A page that can't be crawled can't rank, and nothing about that is visible in the browser. - Links — broken internal links (critical: they leak ranking signal and strand visitors), dead external references, and long redirect chains that burn crawl budget.
- Performance — the page-weight basics search engines factor in: oversized HTML, missing compression, render-blocking assets. For how fast pages actually load, see the performance audit — this category catches the structural part.
How to read the result
The same issue on many pages collapses into one finding with the affected URLs underneath — a 250-page crawl produces a to-do list, not 250 rows. Critical findings first: they're the ones with direct ranking impact. The report is Markdown built for pasting into an AI assistant; "add a canonical to /docs" is something it can just do.
Rankings are moving into AI answers
Classic SEO gets you into search results; increasingly the same structural quality decides whether AI assistants can read, quote and recommend you. That side has its own tooling in Satsu — see the AI suite.
