Projects
You start with the Projects section. Here you can find all of the added projects. Project is a unique combo of the domain (or subdomain), language and country settings, which are used by Sitechecker to analyze the search results.
Projects section helps you to check all the main changes on the website, like changes in tech state, rating or traffic on the website.
The more websites you have, the more convenient it is to track all of them on the same page.
Dashboard
This section contains all the main information about the project from the other tools in a brief manner. The main idea of this section is to give you the key information and help you to check everything at a glance.
Here you can find a lot of graphs most of which are set up automatically: they get data from Google Analytics, Search Console and other tools available at Sitechecker. The only graph that you need to set up manually is the one with the keywords for your website.
We suggest starting your day by taking a look at your dashboard and seeing if everything is okay with your projects and how Sitechecker can help you to improve them ;)
Site Audit
This is the main tool of Sitechecker, which helps you to get a detailed SEO audit of your website. With this tool, you can locate errors and issues, which, if eliminated, will cause the quality of the website and SEO results to go up.
Sitechecker audits over 100 different aspects of the site: meta tags, broken links, redirects, HTTP code, page size, images, attributes, issues with javascript and CSS optimization. And gives you a brief description of the errors, as well as, ways of fixing them. You can also download the list of errors into .pdf or .csv file with your logo and share the access to your project with your team, developers or freelancers, that are working on fixing the errors.
Site Monitoring
This tool is meant for constant monitoring of your website. It helps to see all changes on your website and fix any issues if any pop-up.
Site Monitoring is also useful to add the website of your competitor and monitor what pages are being deleted, on which they are working on and how the structure of the website is being changed.
P.S. We strongly suggest to set up email notification, so you get digests about website changes and you were always up to date.
Rank Tracker
This tool helps you to track search positions for specific keywords you’ve entered. The main goal is to show insides and trends, which are not available on Google Search Console. To achieve this Rank Tracker parses search results for words that you enter.
For example, Rank Tracker helps me:
- See search positions filtered by day on one page.
- See what words were left out of Google Search Console
- get knowledge about changes in search result position even before it will display in Google Search Console
- Filter out keywords that go up or go down
Plus you can investigate how the search results changed (SERP) by certain keyword. This data can help to see what competitors achieve growth and investigate their strategy.
Backlink Tracker
This tool helps you to monitor important backlinks of your choice. This solves an age-old question of when you received an important link and it somehow disappeared. We know that this happens really often. Backlink tracker helps you to see that the link is missing and you can contact the webmaster or somebody who has direct influence and get it back on the website.
On-Page Checker
This tool is for a deep analysis of certain pages. It collects some information from Google Page Speed test and adds important factors to it (like URL friendliness, display in Google SERP, size of images, images without title or alt attributes, all external and internal links, Google score for usability and speed on desktop & mobile versions).
It helps to check important pages of the website and improve the quality and attraction for Google. As a result, you attract more traffic.
In addition to this tool, we have created
a plugin available for Google Chrome.
With the help of this plugin, you can start the audit of the page that is active in your tab right now. If you click on the plugin icon, the audit of this page will open up in a new tab.
Your Account Settings
In the bottom of the left sidebar, you have your personal settings.
Here you can see your subscription plan, limits for every tool and you can also set up your personal data, like email, password, notifications, logo for reports, as well as some contact details that are used for invoicing.
You can also download invoices, connect to a bigger package or cancel your subscription.
