Key takeaways

  • Sites group URLs, crawls, and integrations.
  • Crawls cost credits by page count — estimate shown first.
  • Monitors diff HTML and mail on real changes.
  • Rank grids are sampled — methodology is published.

Single-page audits answer “is this URL healthy?” Site features answer “is the property coherent over time?”

Add a site

From Sites, verify domain ownership, then run crawls from the site dashboard.

Turn on monitors

Pick high-risk templates: pricing, checkout, robots, llms.txt. Monitors cost an add-on but zero per-run credits.

Visibility modules

Keywords, ranks, and answer-engine visibility each state how they were sampled. Read methodology before comparing week over week.

You are already further along than it feels

“Site crawls, monitors, and rank tracking” is the kind of page people open when something feels off and they want a calm next step. That instinct is the whole job. You do not need a new stack, a new agency, or a weekend of tabs. You need one true thing you can fix, then another, then a re-check so you can see the page get cleaner.

You do not need a perfect site this week. You need the next true fix, and the patience to check it again after you ship.

Adnan Arodiya, Crawlwise

Start with the page a customer actually lands on. Read what the server returns, not what you remember pasting into the CMS. If a crawler is blocked, fix that before you rewrite a headline. If a title is doing its job, leave it alone and move to the next check. Small honest wins beat a dashboard full of red.

When the free check has told you what it can, a full audit is the natural next sitting. It scores the checks that apply, says when something was not measured, and keeps the story if you save it. Plans start at $4.99 a month for Starter. Pro, Studio, and Agency are there when one site becomes a few, or a few become a client list. Nothing here asks you to buy a seat you will not use.

What a plan actually costs

The free tools stay free. You can open them, run them, and leave without an account. A plan is for the moment you want the report saved, a few sites watched, or the same checks from the API. The price on this table is the price at checkout. A yearly plan is ten months of the monthly price, so two months are on us.

PlanMonthlyCreditsA good fit when
Starter$4.9910You look after one site and check it now and then
Pro$14.9940A few sites, plus the API and a handful of watched URLs
Studio$49.99150Client work that would burn through Pro mid-month
Agency$99.99400Many locations, reported under your own name

A single-page audit is about 1.25 credits, and that includes the live probe of answer-engine crawlers. You see the estimate before anything runs. If a hold is not used, it comes back to your balance. Extra credits, when you already subscribe, are $9.99 for 20.

A comparison worth keeping

A typical SEO suite is wonderful at the work it was built for: a giant keyword database, a backlink index, ads research, seats for a team. Crawlwise is wonderful at a smaller, sharper job. We show the evidence on the page, we test whether answer-engine crawlers can actually fetch it, and we price the work in credits you can see before you click. If you need their index, keep it. If you need a clear read on this URL, you are in the right place.

Take the win that is in front of you. Run the check, fix one thing on staging, and come back. The page will still be here, and so will we.

Free tools answer one question. A full audit scores the page, tests answer-engine crawlers, and saves to history on a plan.

Frequently asked questions

Audits deep-check one URL with performance and plan stages. Crawls map many URLs for structure, orphans, and depth.
