Understanding Your First Audit

Learn how to read and act on your SEO audit results

Audit Overview

Your audit dashboard shows a summary of your site's SEO health:

  • Score - Overall SEO score from 0-100
  • Issues - Total problems found, grouped by severity
  • Opportunities - Potential improvements to boost rankings

Issue Severity Levels

Critical (Red)

Issues that are actively hurting your rankings. Fix these first.

Examples:

  • Missing title tags
  • Broken internal links
  • Blocked from indexing

Warning (Orange)

Issues that could impact rankings if not addressed.

Examples:

  • Duplicate meta descriptions
  • Missing alt text on images
  • Slow page load times

Info (Blue)

Suggestions for improvement, not necessarily problems.

Examples:

  • Schema markup opportunities
  • Content length recommendations
  • Internal linking suggestions

Taking Action

For each issue, you have several options:

  1. Apply Fix - One-click fix (requires CMS connection)
  2. View Code - Copy the fix manually
  3. Ignore - Mark as intentional (won't show in future audits)
  4. Learn More - Understand why this matters

Scheduling Regular Audits

By default, coreSEO runs weekly audits. You can adjust this in Settings > Audit Schedule:

  • Daily - Best for active sites with frequent changes
  • Weekly - Good for most sites
  • Monthly - Suitable for static sites
