SEO Audit Tool

Enter any public URL to inspect its title, meta description, and heading structure (H1-H6). This audit surfaces what Google sees, so you can trust the signal while crafting content that reflects your experience and expertise.

Why run an SEO audit with AstroRank?

The audit emphasizes transparent signals so you can communicate quality content to both humans and search engines.

  • Fetch the exact HTML response and avoid client-side discrepancies.
  • Validate heading hierarchy to protect your topical authority.
  • Spot missing metadata or duplicate titles.
  • List actionable issues you can share with your team.

How to interpret the report

Each row includes a score, warning, or suggestion grounded in how Google interprets metadata and structure. Focus on high-impact signals first:

  1. Titles should include your target keyword near the beginning and stay under ~600 pixels to avoid truncation. Optimize your title for desktop and mobile with our free tool.
  2. Meta descriptions act as your SERP pitch—highlight value, mention differentiators, and keep them under ~920 pixels. We have a free tool that can help you optimize the meta description for desktop and mobile.
  3. Use a single H1 per page, nest H2-H6 to reflect subtopics, and keep hierarchy intact for accessibility and clarity.
  4. Canonical tags prevent duplicate content penalties—ensure every page points to the preferred URL.
  5. Duplicate or missing headings dilute topical relevance; fix them to strengthen your authority signals.

Tips from the AstroRank team

We built this tool with structured data experts and seasoned SEOs. Always align your metadata with the page intent and ensure it directly reflects the experience you deliver. Consistency between headline language, body copy, and metadata signals trust to search engines.

Document the audit results with engineers or writers, especially if you’re reusing templates or CMS defaults. Our export-ready tables make it easier to assign ownership for each issue.
