Beacon fetches your actual pages, runs 38 technical, on-page, schema and GEO checks, then hands every issue a business impact, a recommended fix and a ready-to-ship developer ticket.
Every finding comes with the why, the fix and the ticket — so insights actually turn into shipped work.
Beacon fetches your actual pages and follows internal links the way a search bot does — no sampling, no guesswork. It reads the HTML each crawler really receives.
Every page is scored across Crawlability, On-page, Schema & GEO, Content and Technical — so you see exactly which layer is holding rankings back.
LCP, INP and CLS are estimated from live crawl response times and flagged the moment they slip out of Google’s passing thresholds.
A row for every URL crawled: status code, title, meta, H1, word count and detected JSON-LD schema types — sortable and exportable.
Each issue generates a clean, copy-ready developer ticket describing the problem, the fix and where it lives — drop it straight into Jira, Linear or GitHub.
Findings roll up by impact into a prioritized 30-day plan, so your team always knows the single highest-leverage fix to ship next.
Drop in your URL and Beacon crawls it live, reads robots.txt and checks AI readiness — no signup to see your score.
A technical SEO audit is a systematic inspection of how easily search engines — and now AI answer engines — can crawl, render, understand and trust your website. The questions it answers are blunt: can a bot reach every page, does each page declare what it is, is the content really there in the HTML, and does Google have any speed or markup reason to demote you? Most “SEO problems” are not creative problems at all. They are mechanical: a blocked path, a missing title, an empty H1, a page that only renders after JavaScript runs. An audit finds those mechanics so you can fix the cause instead of chasing the symptom.
Beacon runs a real live crawl. It starts at your domain, fetches the actual HTML response, and follows internal links the way a search bot does — page to page, across your real site, not a single URL graded in isolation. For each page it parses the markup and inspects the things that decide rankings: it detects a missing or duplicate title, an absent meta description, a missing or multiple H1, and thin content by counting the words that genuinely exist in the static HTML. It looks for missing structured data by scanning for JSON-LD blocks and recording which schema types each page exposes, so you know whether Google and assistants can extract your prices, ratings and FAQs. It catches broken pages via status codes, and surfaces canonical and viewport issues, missing alt text on images, and HTTPS or redirect problems.
Findings are useless if they sit in a PDF. So every issue Beacon raises carries a plain-language business impact, a concrete recommended fix, and a generated developer ticket you can drop straight into Jira, Linear or GitHub. Issues are grouped by severity, so the high-impact GEO and crawlability blockers float to the top instead of drowning under cosmetic warnings — and the same crawl checks your AI-crawler and llms.txt gaps, so a page that ranks on Google but is invisible to ChatGPT no longer hides from you. Pair the audit with Beacon’s AI search visibility tracking and the render gap analyzer, run a no-signup free visibility check, then create a free account to unlock the full 38-point audit.
Beacon runs 38 checks across five groups. Crawlability covers robots.txt, status codes, canonicals, sitemaps and AI-crawler access. On-page covers titles, meta descriptions, H1s, Open Graph and viewport. Schema & GEO covers JSON-LD structured data, llms.txt and machine-readable answers. Content covers thin or missing copy and alt text. Technical covers HTTPS, redirects and Core Web Vitals. Every page you have is evaluated, not a sample.
Free checkers grade a single URL against a fixed list. Beacon performs a live crawl of your whole site by following internal links, scores each page across all 38 checks, then attaches a business impact, a recommended fix and a generated developer ticket to every issue. The findings feed your dashboard scores and a prioritized 30-day action plan — it is a workflow, not a one-off grade.
Yes. Beacon estimates Largest Contentful Paint, Interaction to Next Paint and Cumulative Layout Shift from live crawl response data, then flags any metric that falls outside Google’s passing thresholds so you can see whether speed is dragging your rankings.
Every issue has a one-click “Generate dev ticket” button that produces a clean, copy-ready ticket with the problem, the fix and the affected pages. Paste it into Jira, Linear, GitHub Issues or Notion, and the per-page crawl table exports too.
Run a full audit at least monthly, plus after any redesign, migration, or major content release. Beacon keeps each crawl so you can track your technical score over time and confirm that shipped fixes actually moved the needle.
