WHAT THIS TEMPLATE MEASURES
An AI SEO audit should separate inspectable website conditions from outcomes controlled by third-party systems. This template records public evidence for the former. It does not predict rankings, traffic, recommendations, mentions, or citations.
FREE WORKING TEMPLATE
Review the evidence.
Mark the gaps.
Nothing is submitted or saved. Review each check against the public page, then copy the result into your own project notes.
- 01
Access
The page returns a successful public response
- Evidence to record
- Final URL, HTTP status, redirect chain, and whether the page loads without a login.
- If it fails
- Repair error responses, redirect loops, or access controls before evaluating the copy.
- 02
Access
The core answer appears in the returned HTML
- Evidence to record
- A short excerpt from the raw or rendered HTML containing the offer, audience, and page topic.
- If it fails
- Render the primary answer server-side or ensure it is present without a user interaction.
- 03
Access
robots.txt permits the intended search crawler
- Evidence to record
- The applicable User-agent and Allow or Disallow rule, including the most specific matching path.
- If it fails
- Change the crawler rule only if publication in that system is actually intended.
- 04
Access
The page is indexable and self-canonical
- Evidence to record
- Robots meta or X-Robots-Tag value plus the resolved canonical URL.
- If it fails
- Remove unintended noindex directives and point the canonical to the preferred public page.
- 05
Discovery
The page is linked from a relevant public hub
- Evidence to record
- The source page and exact anchor text that leads to this URL.
- If it fails
- Add a descriptive link from navigation, a resource hub, or a closely related page.
- 06
Discovery
The page appears in the current XML sitemap
- Evidence to record
- Sitemap URL, listed page URL, and last-modified value if supplied.
- If it fails
- Add the canonical URL to the sitemap and keep generated dates truthful.
- 07
Page meaning
The title is unique, concise, and descriptive
- Evidence to record
- The exact title element and the primary query or buyer question it resolves.
- If it fails
- Rewrite the title around the page's specific subject rather than a generic brand slogan.
- 08
Page meaning
One visible H1 states the page's main job
- Evidence to record
- The H1 text and whether it agrees with the title and introductory answer.
- If it fails
- Use one clear primary heading that names the topic in the visitor's language.
- 09
Page meaning
The opening answers what, who, and constraint
- Evidence to record
- A self-contained one- or two-sentence answer near the top of the page.
- If it fails
- Move the direct answer before feature lists, brand narrative, or abstract persuasion.
- 10
Page meaning
Company, product, and service relationships are explicit
- Evidence to record
- Visible sentences naming the provider, offer, audience, category, and delivery model.
- If it fails
- Replace implied relationships with plain, consistent entity statements.
- 11
Evidence
Important claims have visible support
- Evidence to record
- For each material claim, record the source, method, date, sample, or public proof.
- If it fails
- Qualify, source, or remove claims that a reviewer cannot verify from the public page.
- 12
Evidence
Prices, dates, and scope agree across the page
- Evidence to record
- Price, currency, page count, delivery time, availability, and the locations where each appears.
- If it fails
- Choose one current fact set and align visible copy, metadata, and structured data.
- 13
Evidence
Limitations are stated beside the promise
- Evidence to record
- The visible sentence explaining what the service does not include or control.
- If it fails
- Add a specific boundary near the claim instead of hiding it in general terms.
- 14
Answers
Buyer questions have self-contained answers
- Evidence to record
- Three real questions and answer blocks that remain useful when read out of context.
- If it fails
- Turn vague feature sections into question-led passages with direct first sentences.
- 15
Answers
Comparisons use named, consistent dimensions
- Evidence to record
- The compared options, date checked, dimensions, and source links for factual claims.
- If it fails
- Define the comparison basis and remove unsupported superiority language.
- 16
Structured data
Markup describes visible page content
- Evidence to record
- Detected JSON-LD types and the visible text supporting their material properties.
- If it fails
- Remove hidden or unsupported properties and select the type matching the page's main content.
- 17
Structured data
Offer facts match the buyer-facing page
- Evidence to record
- Schema price, currency, availability, seller, and the corresponding visible values.
- If it fails
- Align the markup with current visible facts; never use schema to introduce a claim.
- 18
Conversion
The next buyer action is specific and working
- Evidence to record
- CTA text, destination URL, form or checkout state, and the commitment requested.
- If it fails
- Replace generic CTAs with one scoped next step and repair dead or misleading paths.
- 19
Measurement
Acquisition sources survive into inquiry or checkout
- Evidence to record
- UTM or first-party source value captured at entry and stored with the conversion event.
- If it fails
- Carry a bounded source value through the funnel without storing unnecessary personal data.
- 20
Measurement
Outcomes are separated from readiness
- Evidence to record
- Baseline date, engine or search surface, query set, sampled URLs, and the business conversion metric.
- If it fails
- Report readiness changes separately from rankings, traffic, mentions, citations, inquiries, and sales.
