Site scans now include SEO basics and stronger site context

SearchTriage site scans now do more than collect a homepage URL. They help build site context and produce a lightweight SEO basics report.

That context matters because Search Console data is only part of the picture. A query might be valuable, but the right recommendation depends on the site's business type, audience, conversion goal, existing content, and basic technical signals.

The site scan gives SearchTriage a better starting point.

What the SEO basics report checks

The scan can review practical homepage signals such as:

• title tag presence and sensible length
• meta description presence and sensible length
• canonical tag presence
• Open Graph title and description
• robots meta warnings such as noindex
• H1 count and basic heading structure
• JSON-LD or schema presence
• sitemap candidates
• HTTP status and redirect notes

This is not a full enterprise technical SEO audit. It is a lightweight scan that catches obvious context and content signals before SearchTriage starts making recommendations.

Plan-aware scanning

Higher plans can use deeper sitemap sample checks. That means SearchTriage can look beyond the homepage for additional sample pages, while keeping lower tiers simpler and cheaper to operate.

The result is more useful site context without pretending to crawl the entire web property on every action.

Why this helps reports and briefs

Site context changes the quality of search recommendations.

If the scan shows a missing meta description, weak heading structure, or no clear content map, SearchTriage can consider that when explaining an opportunity. If the site has clear use-case pages, support content, or comparison pages, recommendations can be more specific about where a query belongs.

This matters most when deciding whether to create a new article, update an existing URL, or add internal links.

A better first step

Users can still guide the system manually by setting business type, audience, goals, and topics to avoid. The scan simply makes onboarding faster and gives SearchTriage a factual base to work from.
