AuditScout analyzes a single URL across twelve dimensions — from technical SEO and passive security to conversion, trust, and business strategy. For each one you see what we check, why it matters, and exactly what you get back.
What it checks: Title tags, meta descriptions, heading structure, canonical tags, Open Graph data, schema markup, crawlability, and your sitemap and robots.txt.
Why it matters: Search engines reward sites that are technically clean and easy to understand. Small structural gaps quietly cap how much organic traffic you can earn.
What you get: A prioritized SEO fix list — exactly which tags, headings, and files to change first.
AEO — Answer Engine Optimization
What it checks: FAQ blocks, question-based headings, short and direct answers near the top of a page, and comparison-style content.
Why it matters: Assistants like ChatGPT and Perplexity lift short, well-structured answers into their responses. Pages that answer questions directly win the answer box.
What you get: AEO recommendations to help your pages get pulled into AI answer boxes.
GEO — Generative Engine Optimization
What it checks: Entity clarity, a substantive About page, outbound citations, case studies, and signals of topical authority across the site.
Why it matters: Generative search decides which sources to cite. Clear entities and credible references make it far more likely an LLM understands — and names — your brand.
What you get: Guidance so large language models understand your site and cite it as a source.
Trust & safety
Security
What it checks: HTTPS, HTTP→HTTPS redirects, security headers (CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options and more), cookie flags, and exposed server details, .env, or .git paths. All passive.
Why it matters: Missing headers and exposed files are the easiest wins an attacker looks for — and visitors and browsers increasingly flag sites that get them wrong.
What you get: A plain-English risk list ranked by severity, with the exact header or setting to add.
Trust
What it checks: About/contact info, testimonials, privacy & terms links, social proof, and credibility badges.
Why it matters: Visitors decide whether to trust you in seconds. Missing signals make even a great offer feel risky.
What you get: A list of the missing trust signals holding back first-time visitors.
Experience
Performance
What it checks: Load time, total script and CSS weight, image sizing, lazy-loading, and render-blocking resources.
Why it matters: Every extra second of load time costs conversions and rankings. Most sites carry weight they never needed to ship.
What you get: A clear breakdown of what's slowing the site down, plus the fixes that move the needle.
Mobile UX
What it checks: Responsive layout, tap-target sizing, font readability, and whether calls-to-action work well on a phone.
Why it matters: Most traffic is mobile. A layout that breaks or buttons too small to tap silently lose the majority of your visitors.
What you get: A mobile fix list focused on the screens where most of your audience actually lands.
Accessibility
What it checks: Alt text, form labels, heading order, color contrast, ARIA usage, and semantic HTML.
Why it matters: Accessible sites reach more people, reduce legal risk, and tend to score better with search crawlers too — accessibility and SEO overlap heavily.
What you get: An accessibility issue list with concrete fixes, ordered by how many users each affects.
Growth
Conversion
What it checks: Call-to-action clarity, forms, lead capture, pricing clarity, social proof placement, and urgency.
Why it matters: Traffic without conversion is wasted spend. Small clarity and friction issues are usually the difference between a visitor and a customer.
What you get: Conversion recommendations plus lead-magnet ideas tailored to your page.
Content
What it checks: Content depth, structure, internal linking, and thin or duplicate pages.
Why it matters: Shallow or disorganized content underperforms in search and leaves visitors without the answers they came for.
What you get: Content strategy notes — what to deepen, restructure, or link together.
Strategy
Business Strategy
What it checks: Who the site benefits, the target customer, the core pain point, the monetization model, and the market angle.
Why it matters: A site can be technically perfect and still fail to position itself. Strategy is the layer most audit tools ignore entirely.
What you get: A business positioning analysis written in plain language you can act on this quarter.
Investor Pitch
What it checks: The strongest market angle and how the site frames its story for both customers and investors.
Why it matters: How your site reads to a partner or investor shapes the deals and funding you can attract.
What you get: A ready-to-use pitch angle you can take into a customer or investor conversation.

AuditScout looks, but never touches. Every check uses only the public information your own visitors already receive — so a scan can never alter, slow, or damage the site being audited.
Public information only
We inspect what any visitor's browser already sees — headers, markup, and metadata. Nothing hidden or private.
No logins or brute force
AuditScout never attempts to sign in, guess passwords, or access protected areas of a site.
No exploits, ever
There are no payloads, fuzzing, or intrusive probes. The scan can't damage or alter the site.
AuditScout performs passive public checks only. It does not replace a professional penetration test, security audit, legal review, or compliance assessment. No exploits, login attempts, brute force, or intrusive testing are performed.
Why create an account?
Your first audit needs no login. Sign up and AuditScout becomes a workspace — not just a one-off check.
