# SEO Audits

> Automatically scan your site for technical SEO issues. Visen.io detects problems, prioritizes fixes by SEO impact, and gives you step-by-step instructions to resolve each one.

Visen.io's SEO audit engine crawls your site and checks for technical issues that can hold back your rankings. Every issue comes with a severity rating, an estimated SEO impact, and clear instructions so you know exactly what to fix and why.

## Run your first audit

<Steps>
  <Step title="Select your site">
    From the dashboard, click **SEO Audits** on the site card, or go to **SEO Audits** in the left sidebar and choose a site.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Start the audit">
    Click **Run audit**. Visen.io begins crawling your site immediately. Audit duration depends on site size — most sites complete within a few minutes.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Review the results">
    When the audit finishes, the results page shows a summary health score and a full list of detected issues, grouped by category and ordered by priority.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Work through the recommendations">
    Click any issue to expand it. Each issue shows:

    * A description of the problem
    * The pages affected
    * Estimated SEO impact (high, medium, or low)
    * Step-by-step fix instructions
  </Step>

  <Step title="Schedule recurring audits">
    In **Audit settings**, set a recurring schedule — daily or weekly. Visen.io will re-crawl your site automatically and alert you if new issues appear or existing ones return.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## What Visen.io detects

Audits check across all major technical SEO categories:

| Category                   | Issues detected                                                 |
| -------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Pages and crawlability** | Broken pages (4xx/5xx), redirect chains, crawl blocks           |
| **Content**                | Duplicate content, missing or duplicate meta tags, thin content |
| **Performance**            | Slow page speed, Core Web Vitals failures                       |
| **Mobile**                 | Mobile usability issues, viewport configuration problems        |
| **Structured data**        | Missing or invalid schema markup                                |
| **On-page optimization**   | Missing H1 tags, keyword usage, internal linking gaps           |

## Reading audit results

The results page organizes issues into three severity levels:

* **Critical** — issues that directly block rankings or indexing
* **Warnings** — issues that reduce performance but don't block crawling
* **Notices** — opportunities for improvement

Sort and filter the list by severity, category, or estimated impact to focus on what matters most. Each issue links to the specific pages affected so you can act without hunting for the problem yourself.

## Fixing issues

Each recommendation includes step-by-step instructions written for the level of access you need — whether that's editing a CMS setting, updating a meta tag, or working with a developer on a redirect fix.

After you fix an issue, mark it as resolved in Visen.io. The next scheduled audit (or a manual re-run) will confirm the fix is live and remove the issue from your list.

## Scheduling recurring audits

Recurring audits keep your site health score current without manual effort. Choose **Daily** for active sites where content changes frequently, or **Weekly** for more stable properties.

Critical issues detected during any scheduled audit trigger an instant alert via email or in-dashboard notification, so you are never caught off guard by a sudden problem.

## FAQ

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="How often should I run an audit?">
    For most sites, a weekly scheduled audit provides a good balance of coverage and noise reduction. If you publish frequently, deploy code often, or have a large site, switch to daily. You can always trigger a manual audit at any time — for example, after a major site update or migration.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="What happens when a critical issue is found?">
    Visen.io sends an instant alert as soon as a critical issue is detected, regardless of your scheduled audit frequency. You receive a notification in the dashboard and an email (if email alerts are enabled). The issue is flagged at the top of your audit results with a critical badge.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Can Visen.io fix issues automatically?">
    Visen.io provides the diagnosis and the instructions — the fixes themselves require action on your site. This keeps you in control of any changes made to your pages, redirects, or code. The step-by-step instructions are written to be actionable for both technical and non-technical users.
