A report tells you what's broken. Essel also writes what's missing.
The same engine behind this audit researches, writes, and publishes GEO-optimized articles for your site — on a cadence, autonomously.
The comparison
Same findings, same priorities, same deliverables — different production process, different price.

Where human consultants genuinely add value — migrations, penalty recovery, international strategy — they work better from a finished issue list. Run the audit first; hand the export to whoever implements.
FAQ
The questions people ask before hiring an SEO audit service.
A full SEO audit service covers four areas: technical health (crawlability, indexation, redirects, structured data), on-page quality (titles, metas, headings, content depth), performance (Core Web Vitals), and off-page standing (backlinks, competitors). Essel's audit delivers all four from a real 100-page crawl, adds the AI-search layer most services skip — GEO, answer-engine readiness, AI-crawler access — and attaches a concrete fix to every finding.
Use software for the mechanical layer and humans for judgment. Crawling pages, verifying links, validating schema, and prioritizing issues is deterministic work a machine does in minutes for dollars; an agency doing the same work bills days. Where consultants genuinely add value — migration planning, penalty recovery, international strategy — they do it better starting from a finished issue list. A $10 audit first makes the expensive conversation shorter, or unnecessary.
Free checkers audit one page and stop at naming problems. Essel crawls up to 100 pages, which unlocks the findings that only exist site-wide — duplicate content, orphan pages, internal-link starvation, sitemap drift — and then generates the deliverables: rewritten metas, JSON-LD blocks, an llms.txt, an internal-link plan, and a 7-day priority order. The free single-page scan shows the report format; the $10 unlock is the whole-site version.
AI search is scored as a first-class category, roughly a quarter of the total. The audit checks whether 17+ AI crawlers can reach your pages, whether your content survives without JavaScript, whether answer engines can lift direct answers from your structure, and where Google's AI Overviews already cite your domain. A dedicated section shows how an AI model actually describes your brand today — including what it gets wrong.
The crawl starts immediately and typically finishes in 3 to 6 minutes; you can close the tab and the report link arrives by email. The report is permanent and shareable, with Markdown and CSV exports. One full re-crawl within 30 days is included so you can verify your fixes moved the score, and a failed run refunds automatically.
Free single-page scan in seconds, whole site for $10. Markdown and CSV exports included — hand them to your developer, or to the agency you were about to pay for the same list.
