# Page Audit

> Audit any page on your site on the dimensions that decide whether AI can read and cite it, then work through the fixes each audit finds.

Page Audit scores one URL at a time on whether AI engines can fetch it, understand it and want to quote it. Open it from **Page Audit** in the Analyze section of the sidebar. It has two tabs: **Audit**, where you start audits, and **History**, where every audit you have run is listed.

Page Audit reads one page. To check whether AI crawlers can reach your site at all, use [Site Access](https://ranqo.ai/docs/guides/site-access), which fetches your site as each crawler.

## The dimensions

Every audit is scored on the dimensions below, or on the ones you choose. Each has a weight, and the page score is the weighted average of the dimensions that ran.

| Dimension | What it asks | Weight |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Crawlability | Can AI bots access your content? | 11% |
| Content Quality | Is content substantive and well-structured? | 24% |
| Page Speed | How fast does your page load? | 5% |
| AI Readiness | Can AI extract answers from your content? | 21% |
| Citation Potential | Would AI want to quote you? | 21% |
| Authority & Trust | Does your content signal expertise? | 18% |

When a dimension does not run (you unticked it, or its data was unavailable), its weight is shared out across the ones that did, so the page score is always out of 100.

The overview also shows two sub-scores under the gauge. **SEO Score** covers traditional signals: title, meta, headings, content depth, readability, links and technical checks. **GEO Score** covers how well AI can use the page: answer density, citation potential, authority signals and AI-friendly formatting.

## Audit one page

### 1. Enter the URL
On the **Audit** tab, paste a page address into **Enter a URL to analyze** and press **Next**. The URL has to belong to your brand: its host must contain your domain, your brand name or one of your aliases. Anything else is refused with a message saying the URL does not appear to belong to your brand.

### 2. Choose the page type and dimensions
Pick a **Page Type**. The type decides which dimensions run by default: a pricing or contact page is not judged on citation potential, for example. Then adjust **Analysis Dimensions**:

- **SEO** runs Crawlability and Content Quality.
- **GEO** runs AI Readiness and Citation Potential.
- **E-E-A-T** runs Authority & Trust.
- **CAI** (citation authority) runs Citation Potential.
- **Page Speed** runs Core Web Vitals.

### 3. Analyze
Press **Analyze**. The audit runs in the background and usually takes about a minute. You can leave the page: a banner at the top of Page Audit lists audits still running, and each opens its progress view.

**Page Speed is off by default for the Other type:**
A URL entered by hand starts as the **Other** page type, which does not include Page Speed. Tick **Page Speed** before you press Analyze if you want Core Web Vitals in the audit.

## Discover and audit many pages

Below the URL field, until you have a discovered list, **Discover Brand Pages** reads your sitemap and crawls your site to build a list of pages. Discovery shows its progress as it connects, crawls and classifies each page. The list is saved, so it is still there when you come back.

In **Discovered Pages** you can:

- Search, and filter by **All Types** and **All Status** (Not Audited, Audited, Failed, In Progress).
- Read each page's detected **Type**, how many of the dimensions it will run (**Dimensions**, hover for the list), its **Priority** (1 is most important) and its **Status**.
- Use the row menu's **Edit** to change the page type, the dimensions or the priority before auditing.
- Tick pages and press **Audit N pages**. One page opens its audit directly; several start together and the view switches to **History**.

Some sites refuse or rate-limit crawlers. Pages that could not be read stay in the list with their URL but no title, and the card says how many there are.

## Read an audit

The audit overview shows the page title, its detected page type, the dimensions that ran, and:

- **The page score** out of 100, with a grade. A low score adds a banner above the overview: one flagging critical issues, or, for a middling score, one saying the page has room for improvement.
- **A card per dimension** with its score, how many checks passed, and the first few checks. Open a card for the dimension's detail page.
- **Top Recommendations**, described below.

Each dimension's detail page lists every check with its result and feedback. Several have extra tabs, each shown when the audit has data for it:

| Dimension | Tabs |
|---|---|
| Content Quality | Audit Checks, Readability, AI Content |
| AI Readiness | Audit Checks, AI Readability, Phrases & Tips |
| Citation Potential | Audit Checks, Citation Funnel, Deep Analysis |
| Authority & Trust | E-E-A-T Overview, Audit Checks, Author Entity |

Crawlability includes an **External Link Health** check: up to 50 of the page's outbound links are requested, and broken ones are listed with the status they returned. The check identifies itself as RanqoBot and respects each linked site's robots.txt.

## Top Recommendations

Top Recommendations gathers every check that failed or raised a warning, across all dimensions, into one list. Failed checks come first, and they are marked critical when their dimension has three or more failures. Use the dimension buttons to narrow the list. Each item links to the detail page where the check lives. When nothing failed, the section reads **All checks passing**.

These are fixes for this one page. For work ranked across your whole brand, see the [Action Center](https://ranqo.ai/docs/guides/action-center).

## Pages that served no text

Some pages send almost no text to a plain fetch, usually because the content is drawn by JavaScript in the browser. When a page returns fewer than 50 words and no main heading, Ranqo skips Content Quality, AI Readiness, Citation Potential and Authority & Trust instead of scoring an empty page, and scores only whichever of Crawlability and Page Speed you selected. The audit shows a **Content dimensions were skipped** notice with the word count it read. If you selected neither, there is nothing left to score and the audit fails with a message saying the page returned no readable content.

Treat that notice as the finding. AI crawlers that do not run JavaScript see what the audit saw. A healthy Page Speed beside it is expected: Google's test renders the page, and the text fetch does not.

## Page Speed

Page Speed comes from Google PageSpeed Insights, run as a mobile test. If Google's test returns nothing for the URL, the audit still completes without Page Speed and the page score is weighted across the dimensions that did run. Running the audit again often gets a result.

## History

The **History** tab lists every audit, re-audits included, newest first, with its **Type**, **SEO** and **GEO** scores, **Status** and **Date**. Search by title, URL or domain and filter by type. Open a row to see that audit. Audit a page again after a fix and compare the two entries to see whether the score moved.

## Export

A completed audit has an **Export PDF** menu with a **Concise report** (scores, a summary and every check) and a **Detailed report** (adds deeper insights, quick wins, an action plan and a glossary). See [Reports and exports](https://ranqo.ai/docs/guides/reports-and-exports).

## Monthly limit

Every audit you start counts toward your plan's monthly allowance, including each page in a batch, failed audits and re-audits of the same page. Starter includes 10 audits a month and Pro 50. The full table is in [Plans and limits](https://ranqo.ai/docs/guides/plans-and-limits).
