Question 1

What does AuditCrow check?

Accepted Answer

The free scan checks one page across seven categories: site structure, page SEO, speed, content quality, trust and compliance, accessibility, and AI readiness. Each issue comes with a plain-language explanation. The full AuditCrow platform goes much further - see the next question.

Question 2

Is the free scan the whole product?

Accepted Answer

No - the free scan is your taster. The full AuditCrow platform, in beta now, audits your site as a whole with roughly twice the checks across eleven areas, connects your real data (Google Search Console, Analytics, your business profile), keeps watching week after week, and turns it all into a plain-English action plan steered by what you need the site to achieve. The waitlist gets first access.

Question 3

Is it really free?

Accepted Answer

You get one free page scan per domain, no signup, and it stays free while AuditCrow is in beta. When paid plans for full-site scanning open, the waitlist gets first access.

Question 4

How many pages do you scan?

Accepted Answer

We scan the single page whose URL you provide. You get a focused report for that page so you can act on the results without overwhelm.

Question 5

What is a website audit?

Accepted Answer

A website audit is a check of your site's health across areas that affect findability, speed, and usability. It usually covers SEO basics (titles, meta, headings), page speed and Core Web Vitals, accessibility, security, and content. AuditCrow runs these checks on a single page and gives you a prioritised report in plain language so you know what to fix first.

Question 6

How often should I audit my website?

Accepted Answer

Run an audit when something changes (e.g. after a redesign or big content update), when you notice a drop in traffic or rankings, or as a regular check every few months. Fix a batch of issues, then run another scan to compare. Use our free website audit tool to get a baseline and track progress.

Question 7

How long are reports kept?

Accepted Answer

Your report stays available in the browser you ran it in, and we keep the scan on our side for 90 days - anyone who scans the same domain in that window sees the same report. There's no permanent archive yet, so keep notes or screenshots if you need a lasting copy.

Question 8

Can I share my report?

Accepted Answer

Partly. A colleague who scans the same domain within 90 days sees the same report, and you can screenshot any section. One-click share links and PDF export aren't in the free scan yet - they're planned, and the waitlist hears first when they land.

Question 9

Can I scan the same site again?

Accepted Answer

Free scans per domain are limited. Full-site and repeat scanning is what the waitlist gets first access to - join it and we'll tell you the moment it opens.

Question 10

What are Core Web Vitals?

Accepted Answer

Core Web Vitals are Google's metrics for loading speed (LCP), interactivity (INP), and visual stability (CLS). They influence both user experience and search ranking. Our report checks for common causes of poor scores - large images, render-blocking resources, layout shifts - and explains each issue in plain language. For more, see why website speed matters.

Question 11

Why does website accessibility matter?

Accepted Answer

Accessible sites work for more people (screen readers, keyboard users, low vision) and often have clearer structure and better SEO. We check things like alt text, colour contrast, headings, and form labels. Fixing these improves usability and can help with search. Read what is website accessibility for a fuller picture.

Question 12

Do I need a developer to fix audit issues?

Accepted Answer

Not for everything. Our report shows a fix difficulty (easy, medium, hard) for each issue. Many problems - missing meta descriptions, one broken link, simple heading tweaks - are easy wins you or a content person can do. For technical or site-wide changes, every fix includes the exact message to send your developer or agency.

Question 13

What's the difference between a website audit and an SEO audit?

Accepted Answer

An SEO audit focuses on search visibility: titles, meta, headings, links, content. A full website audit includes that plus speed, accessibility, security, and content quality - the things that affect both ranking and user experience. AuditCrow does both in one report so you get a single prioritised list. For an SEO-only pass, use our free SEO checker.

Question 14

How do I read my website audit report?

Accepted Answer

Start with the issues list: tackle critical items first, then warnings, then notices. Each issue has a plain-language explanation, severity, and fix difficulty, plus a ready-to-send note for your developer. We have a step-by-step guide in how to read a website audit report.

Question 15

Will fixing audit issues improve my Google ranking?

Accepted Answer

We don't change your ranking ourselves - we surface issues that can affect it. Fixing problems like slow load times, missing meta titles, broken links, and thin or inaccessible content can help search engines and users. Use the report as a checklist; then run another scan to see progress. Pair with Google Search Console for actual search performance data.

Question 16

Do you store my website data?

Accepted Answer

We store only the data needed to generate and display your report (page titles, detected issues, scores). We do not store the full content of your pages and we don't sell or share your data with third parties.

Question 17

What should I do with my report?

Accepted Answer

Start with critical issues, then work through warnings and notices. Share the report with your developer if you need help tackling them.

Question 18

How is this different from Google Lighthouse?

Accepted Answer

Lighthouse analyses a single page and produces highly technical output. AuditCrow scans the same page and translates the findings into business-friendly language so you can act on it without being a developer.
