How to start an audit, read the results and share them with clients
Running an Audit
An audit analyzes a single URL and checks it against 40+ SEO, performance and security factors.
Starting an audit
- Go to Websites and select your website
- Click New Audit
- Enter the page URL (must include
https://) - Click Run Audit
The audit runs in the background and is ready in 10–30 seconds.
Reading the results
- Score (0–100) — overall SEO health of the page
- SERP preview — how the page appears in Google, Bing and Yahoo
- Test categories — grouped checks with pass/warn/fail status
Issue severity levels
- Major — critical issues that can directly harm your rankings. Fix these first.
- Moderate — issues impacting user experience or ranking potential.
- Minor — small improvements and best practices.
Refreshing an audit
After making changes, click Refresh Audit to run a new analysis. The previous results are saved as an Archived Audit for comparison.
Sharing an audit
Enable Public Audit in website settings (with optional password) to share a public link of the results with clients.
