SEO Audit Prompt: Evidence, Crawl Checks and Priorities
Organize an SEO review from crawl data and actual page evidence. Separate verified problems, hypotheses and checks that require access.
Illustrative cover; not a verified result from this prompt.
Read the full prompt
Help audit [WEBSITE] using this supplied crawl, page HTML, performance evidence and Search Console information: [DATA]. If browsing is unavailable, state that limitation. Review indexability, canonical URLs, internal links, titles, content usefulness and mobile behavior where evidence allows. Label findings as verified, suspected or not checked. For each issue give affected URLs, impact, a practical fix and verification steps. Do not invent rankings, backlinks, traffic or test scores. Suggest structured data only when it accurately describes visible content.
Supply evidence for the checks you want
A URL alone does not prove that the model can crawl the site or access Search Console. Give it a small crawl export, page HTML or screenshots and state which data is current. Keep private tokens and account details out.
Example: audit a five-page portfolio
List the homepage, projects, about, contact and one project detail page. Suppose the crawl shows that the project link returns 404. Ask the prompt to verify that finding from the supplied record, identify where the broken link appears and propose a correction without inventing a new destination.
For performance, provide an actual measurement and test conditions. “The site feels slow” can start an investigation but is not a measured score.
Prioritize useful repairs
Fix inaccessible content and broken navigation before polishing minor metadata. Distinguish a canonical preference from a redirect and verify both after changes. Treat keyword opportunities as research ideas until supported by data. An audit draft cannot guarantee indexing, rankings or advertising approval.
