SEO audit software that benchmarks the SERP, not a checklist.
Project average, monthly audit usage and per-URL Score / SEO / GEO — the same columns as the live hub.
Score any URL across on-page, performance, usability, social and GEO/AI pillars — then put it beside up to three competitor pages so you fix the gaps that actually explain why they rank higher.

Trusted worldwide
Trusted by thousands of SEO pros
From solo consultants to global agencies — teams choose TrueRanker to unify SEO and AI-search visibility.
A score only matters next to the pages that beat you
A crawler that dumps every discoverable URL onto your desk has moved the triage problem, not solved it. TrueRanker scores the pages you choose — the ones fighting for rankings — and keeps a history so a re-run shows whether the fix worked.
The free SEO audit is the one-off snapshot: one URL, no account, no matrix. The product module is what you use when that URL has to be tracked, compared against the pages beating it, and shared with a client.
- 80+ checks across on-page, technical, performance, links, social and GEO
- Six scored pillars, including GEO / AI visibility
- Optional keyword on every audited URL
What you get in every audit
Six jobs the SEO Audits module is built to finish — from the first check to the link you send a client.
On-page and technical precision
Title tags, meta descriptions, SERP snippet preview, language, H1 and H2–H6 usage, keyword and phrase coverage, word count, image alt text, canonical URL, analytics presence and Schema.org structured data — scored under On-Page SEO.
- Identity schema and canonical hygiene in the same pass
- Word count and heading structure you can compare to the URL that ranks
- Snippet-ready title and description lengths, not just “present / missing”
GEO and AI readiness
The GEO / AI visibility pillar checks whether assistants and local packs can use the page — without sending you to a different product.
- llms.txt presence for LLM crawlers
- LocalBusiness, Organization and FAQPage schema
- Hreflang, Google Maps embeds and clickable phone links
Head-to-head competitor matrix
Stop guessing why a rival outranks you. Audit your URL beside theirs and read the leaderboard, pillar chart and winner-per-metric matrix in one view.
- Up to three competitor URLs in a single comparison
- Leaderboard with proprietary tie-breaking across pillars
- Green “winner” highlight on every comparable check
History, re-run and score evolution
Every audit is kept. Open Audit history to see Score, SEO, GEO, Links, Usability and Performance across dates, then re-run when you ship a fix.
- Per-URL history with pillar lines over time
- One-click re-run from the history view
- Monthly audit usage visible on the project hub
Pending Recommendations roadmap
Raw extraction is automatic; the output is not a wall of warnings. Issues are prioritised as Errors vs Warnings so the first items are worth a developer ticket.
- Severity-ordered fix list on every audit
- Clear enough for a non-technical owner to brief a team
- Re-audit to confirm the recommendation cleared
Share with clients, safely
Hand someone the comparison without handing them your login. The share link is read-only; Force new URL revokes the previous address.
- Read-only SEO comparison URL
- Revoke and rotate with Force new URL
- Built for agency pitches and client updates
See who wins every metric
Leaderboard, pillar scores and the check-level matrix — the view that turns “we scored 84” into “they beat us on word count, schema and TTFB”.
Compare SEO metrics across analyzed URLs. The matrix highlights the winner of each check.

From URL to roadmap
Five steps from an empty project to a shareable comparison — no crawl configuration wizard in between.
Create a project
Point TrueRanker at the domain you care about. SEO Audits live inside that project beside rankings and competitors.
Add the URLs that matter
Audit individual pages — pricing, a landing, a blog post — and optionally attach the keyword each URL is meant to win.
Run an audit or a comparison
Score one URL, or put yours beside up to three competitor URLs and open the leaderboard, pillar chart and check matrix.
Work the recommendations
Pending Recommendations are sorted by Errors vs Warnings. Fix the short list, then re-run to confirm the score moved.
Share the comparison
Copy a read-only link for a client or teammate. Force a new URL if you need to revoke the previous one.
Completeness beyond the headline score
The unglamorous pillars that still decide whether a page is crawlable, shareable and fast enough to compete.
Social signals in the same pass
Open Graph, X Cards, and links to Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn and YouTube — scored under the Social pillar, not a separate tool.
Technology fingerprint
Content encoding, charset, web server, DNS, DMARC and SPF — the Technology block in the comparison matrix.
Performance that fits an audit
Server response time (TTFB), page size and render-blocking resources — enough to see who is slower, without a separate lab suite.
Usability hygiene
Mobile viewport, favicon, SSL, iframes and leftover Flash — the checks that still break crawls and snippets.
Link architecture at a glance
On-page link structure and friendly URLs scored beside the content checks, so internal linking is not an afterthought.
Grades and a score out of 100
Every audit returns a clear grade (A–C) plus pillar scores, so a non-technical stakeholder can read the result in seconds.
In production on real projects
Real customers — the same quotes used across TrueRanker’s product pages.
“With TrueRanker, I manage the SEO for my projects. It’s an essential tool for daily monitoring the impact of our On-Page changes and link-building strategies. ✌🏼”

“I don’t know how I lived without TrueRanker. It has become my daily SEO rank tracker for all my projects and Chrome extensions — something no other tool can do. I highly recommend it!”

“TrueRanker is a top tool that I use with clients and my own projects because what is not measured is not improved.”

“The best tool for tracking, most friendly support and opened for changes and improvments. You can generate something from here… and what I said is really true.”

“I started using TrueRanker in 2022 for keyword tracking, and today it’s one of my main SEO tools. It accurately handles rankings, competitor tracking, SEO audits, and AI visibility, replacing more expensive alternatives. Plus, their customer support is excellent. Highly recommended!”

“We benchmark keyword tracking tools regularly, and for over three years, TrueRanker has been our SEO agency’s top choice. Its intuitive interface, scalable plans, and responsive support offer everything we need to monitor client rankings accurately.”

TrueRanker vs SE Ranking, Semrush and Seobility
Monthly list prices: TrueRanker Starter at $46.80/mo, SE Ranking Essential at €109/mo, Semrush Starter at $139/mo, Seobility Premium at $50/mo. Feature cells are what each vendor documents publicly — “Not documented” means their page is silent, not that the capability is absent.
| Capability | TrueRanker | SE Ranking | Semrush | Seobility |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Entry price (monthly list) | $46.80/mo | €109/mo | $139/mo | $50/mo |
| Audit model | URL audits with history | Website Audit (pages/mo by plan) | Full-site Site Audit crawl | Page checker; full-site on Premium |
| Head-to-head competitor matrix | Up to 3 competitor URLs | Not documented | Not documented | Not documented |
| GEO / AI-oriented audit checks | llms.txt, AI schemas, hreflang, local NAP signals | Not documented | AI-ready Site Audit / AI Search Health | Flags issues for AI answer engines |
| Shareable client report | Read-only comparison link | Not documented | Not documented | Branded PDF on Premium |
| Score history and re-run | Yes | Not documented | Progress tracking in Site Audit | Not documented |
| Optional keyword per audited URL | Yes | On-Page SEO Checker & SERP analyzer | Not documented | Not documented |
Your score only matters next to the URL that ranks above you.
An 86/100 feels fine until the page in position one scores 91 with longer content, FAQ schema and a faster TTFB. The comparison matrix makes that gap legible — pillar by pillar, check by check — so the sprint backlog is a list of numbers to beat, not a generic checklist.
That is the product: URL audits with history, a GEO pillar for AI and local readiness, and a shareable head-to-head view for the people who have to approve the work.
SEO audits, answered
What does the TrueRanker SEO Audit check?
Each audit scores a single URL across more than 80 on-page, technical, performance, link, usability, social and GEO/AI-readiness checks. That includes title and meta tags, headings, word count, canonicals, Schema.org markup, SSL and viewport, TTFB and page size, internal link structure, Open Graph and X Cards, plus GEO signals such as llms.txt, LocalBusiness/Organization/FAQPage schema, hreflang, Google Maps embeds and clickable phone links.
Is this a full-site crawler?
No. TrueRanker SEO Audits are URL-level: you choose the pages that matter and score those, with history per URL. That is different from a site-wide crawler that walks every discoverable path and returns thousands of issues. If you need a one-off snapshot of a single URL with no account, use the free SEO audit tool; the product page is for projects that keep history, compare competitors and share reports.
How does the competitor comparison matrix work?
Enter your URL and up to three competitor URLs. TrueRanker audits all of them and builds a side-by-side matrix: a leaderboard ranked by overall score, pillar scores for On-Page SEO, GEO/AI visibility, Links, Usability, Performance and Social, and a check-by-check table that highlights the winner of each metric — title length, word count, TTFB, schema presence and the rest.
What makes the leaderboard different from a plain SEO score?
A score out of 100 only tells you how you did in isolation. The leaderboard ranks the URLs in the comparison using a tie-breaking order (global score, then SEO, usability and performance pillars), so you see who wins the competitive set — not just whether you passed an internal checklist.
Why do you check for llms.txt and AI schemas?
Search is no longer only ten blue links. The GEO / AI visibility pillar checks whether assistants can read and cite the page: presence of llms.txt, LocalBusiness, Organization and FAQPage schema, correct language and hreflang, plus local signals such as Maps embeds and clickable phone numbers. Those checks sit inside the same audit as classic on-page factors — they are not a separate AI Visibility product.
Can I use this for local SEO analysis?
Yes, inside the GEO category. Audits look for LocalBusiness schema, actionable NAP-style signals, clickable phone links and Google Maps embeds. For ongoing map-pack rank tracking on a geo-grid, use the Local SEO Tracker — that is a different module.
What are Pending Recommendations?
Every audit produces a prioritised fix list split into Errors and Warnings. Severity decides order, so the first items are the ones worth shipping this sprint rather than a dump of every nitpick the crawler could invent.
Can I share comparison reports with clients?
Yes. Generate a read-only share link for an SEO comparison. Recipients can consult the leaderboard, pillars and matrix without editing your project. If a link should stop working, use Force new URL — the previous address is revoked.
How often should I re-run an SEO audit?
Re-run when you publish or substantially edit a page, after a technical change, or when rankings drop on a URL you care about. For competitive pages, a monthly comparison is a useful cadence so you notice when a rival rewrites title tags, grows word count or adds schema you lack.
How is this different from the free SEO audit tool?
The free SEO audit is a one-off check of a single URL — no project history, no competitor matrix and no shareable comparison link. The SEO Audits module inside TrueRanker keeps score history, lets you attach keywords, compare up to three competitors, re-run audits and hand clients a read-only link. Start free if you want a snapshot; use the product when the URL has to be tracked.
How does this compare to Semrush Site Audit?
Semrush Site Audit is built as a full-site crawl with scheduled recrawls and hundreds of technical issues across the whole domain. TrueRanker scores the specific URLs you choose, emphasises head-to-head comparison against the pages beating you, and includes a GEO/AI pillar in the same report. Entry pricing also differs: TrueRanker Starter is $46.80/mo on the monthly list; Semrush Starter lists at $139/mo.
What do the grades A, B and C mean?
Alongside the numeric score out of 100, each audit summarises overall health as a grade so non-technical readers can scan the result. The pillar scores and Pending Recommendations still carry the detail a specialist needs to act.
Why attach a keyword to an audited URL?
The keyword is optional context for the page you are scoring — the query that URL is supposed to win. It keeps audits organised in the project table and makes competitor comparisons meaningful when you are benchmarking the pages that actually compete for that term.
Is there a monthly limit on audits?
Yes. Audits count against a monthly allowance on your plan (shown in the product as Audits used this month). Limits vary by plan; check pricing or your account for the allowance on your tier. There is no invented per-plan figure on this page because those numbers are not published in the public pricing table.
