SEOFix

Your first audit

Create an account with email or Google, start the free 500-page audit, follow it live and open the report.

Updated 8 October 2026View as Markdown

Every account gets one free audit of up to 500 pages, with no card and no credits. Sign up, enter your website, press "Start free audit", and the report opens in place when the crawl is done, usually within a few minutes.

1. Create an account

Go to https://seofix.ai/signup ("Create your account") and either:

  • press "Sign up with Google", or
  • fill in Email and Password (at least 8 characters; Name is optional) and press "Create account".

After your first sign-in you land on "Connect Google Search Console". Connecting it adds the sites you own in Search Console, already verified, so you can skip DNS records and files later. Press "Skip for now" to go straight to the dashboard.

If you started a preview on the home page in the same browser, signing in keeps it as your site's first audit. See /help/free-preview-audit.

2. Start the free audit

  1. On the dashboard, press "Start free audit" (or "Audit your first site free"). This opens "Start your free audit".
  2. Enter your website, for example example.com. If you typed it on the home page while signed in, it is already filled in; "Use a different site" changes it.
  3. Press "Start free audit".

What the free audit does:

Free audit
Pages Up to 500
Speed 2 requests per second, at most 2 at a time
Credits None used
How many One per account (not per team)
Site The audit creates a site for that address in your current team, or reuses the team's site for the same host

The free audit is started from the web app only; it has no /v1 endpoint.

If it does not start

Message or code Cause What to do
free_audit_used "Your free audit has already been used." This account already ran its free audit. Pick a plan, see /help/plans-and-credits.
free_audit_site_limit Your team's site slot is taken by a different site (the Free plan has 1 site). Run the free audit on that site, or upgrade.
site_url_mismatch The team has a site for this host on another origin, for example http:// instead of https://. Use the exact address of the existing site.
invalid_url Not a public http or https address. Enter a public website.

3. While it runs

The audit page (/audits/{id}) follows the crawl live:

  • Steps: "Queued" (waiting for a crawler), "Crawling" (fetching pages), "Building report" (grouping issues by template), "Done".
  • Pages crawled, Pages/min, Elapsed, Time left and the Speed limit in requests per second.

You can close the tab. The audit keeps running, and the report appears at the same address when it is ready. It is also listed under Audits and on the site's page.

At 2 requests per second, fetching 500 pages takes a little over 4 minutes. After the last page, SEOFix runs the site-wide checks and checks external links, then builds the report.

"Cancel audit" stops the crawl and no report is built. Cancelling does not give the free audit back.

4. What you get

  • A health score from 0 to 100 and the headline numbers: pages, errors, warnings, notices, firewall-blocked pages, speed and response times.
  • The Top 3 fixes, ranked by impact, each with "Fix with Claude Code".
  • Every issue grouped by page template ("By template") or listed by check ("All issues"), with affected URLs and the fix.
  • "Copy fix prompt for my agent": a ready-made prompt for Claude Code, Codex or Cursor.

/help/reading-your-report explains each part.

If the site has more than 500 pages, the report says "This audit stopped at 500 pages. That's the free audit's limit." To audit more pages, you need a plan and a verified site.

Next steps

  • Verify the site (the unlock card on the site and audit pages, see /help/verifying-site-ownership). Verification unlocks bigger and faster audits, monitoring, Verify fix and the Google tab.
  • Connect your agent: npx seofix connect, or Settings → Agent & MCP (see /help/connect-your-agent).
  • Turn on monitoring on a paid plan: /help/monitoring-and-alerts.
