Use cases
SEO Monitoring
SEO monitoring for technical SEO tracking: schedule crawls, follow Health Score across crawl history, and see which issues appeared since the previous run.
Continue with a bounded auditUse this when
- A site is already in reasonable shape and the job is noticing regressions early, not running another one-off audit.
A reviewable workflow
- Schedule recurring audits on the project so crawls run on a fixed cadence instead of only when something already looks wrong.
- Watch Health Score and crawl history in the SEO Dashboard to tell a real regression apart from normal variation between crawls.
- Open the issue list for the crawl where the score moved and compare it against the previous crawl to see exactly what changed.
What to inspect
- Health Score movement between consecutive crawls, and which issue categories account for the difference.
- Issues appearing for the first time in the latest crawl, as opposed to long-standing ones already reviewed and accepted.
- Exports from the monitored project, so a crawl's findings can be handed to someone else or compared outside the dashboard.

Important boundaries
- Health Score tracks what the crawler can check. It will not register an editorial or demand shift that never touches the markup.
- Clear technical evidence and useful content can support better decisions; they do not guarantee rankings, citations, or inclusion in AI answers.
