SEO Audit — Oct 9, 2026

Your next SEO move

• Create one AI SEO buying page showing a real, human-reviewed research workflow.
• Investigate the backlink checker’s low click rate before changing its promise or building more tools.
• Preserve the homepage and MCP page, which led the September search samples; remeasure before claiming current ranks.

Recommendations

1. Give AI SEO buyers a page that demonstrates the product

Do this

• Create /ai-seo-tool with one reproducible keyword-to-report example and its source data.
• Show human review, supported assistants, setup, and a realistic monthly workload at the advertised price.
• Link it from the homepage, MCP feature page, and the Claude SEO guide.

Why

• The proposed URL still returns 404 on October 9; the current sitemap has no dedicated AI SEO buying page.
• The existing AI-visibility page covers brand mentions, a different job from running research with an assistant.
• Tool evaluators plausibly fit OpenSEO’s offer; this is inferred fit, not measured conversion evidence.
• New rankings could bring qualified visits, but roundups dominate and the achievable click share is unknown.

The two volumes overlap and are not added. Depth 20 returned 17 and 16 organic listings respectively; “not in the first 20 results” means absent from that returned result set, not proof of deindexing.

• Search Console also shows zero clicks for both terms; the homepage received only 9 and 15 impressions.
• Its average positions were 52.7 and 62.9 across countries, August 20–September 17, 2026.

Keep AI Visibility focused on mentions; use the MCP feature page and the Claude SEO guide as supporting paths. A product page is plausible: the September search sample placed SEO.AI fourth for the singular query, while One Little Web’s comparison leads both variants.

2. Diagnose the backlink checker’s click gap, then test one change

Do this

• Split the head query by country, device, and week in Search Console.
• For stable segments, test a title and search description emphasizing “top 15” and “no signup”.
• Keep the free checker distinct from the paid backlink-analysis feature; do not merge either page.

Why

• The head query produces many impressions but few clicks; it deserves a bounded experiment.
• A live US check did not reproduce the aggregate position, so a simple snippet explanation is unproven.
• More relevant clicks could feed trials, but neither conversion rate nor attainable traffic gain is known.

What else we checked

How this report was made

Generated by the OpenSEO SEO Audit skill, run by Codex on October 9, 2026; September search research reused with its original dates.

OpenSEO supplied the 50-page crawl, Search Console rows and live US English results. Recent September 17–18 keyword and backlink research informed discovery.

HTTP reads checked page content, status, links and canonical tags, which declare each page’s preferred URL. Tool execution, rendering, performance and conversion outcomes were not measured.
