How RankBuddy works

Paste a URL, get a plain-English audit of 40+ SEO and AI visibility signals, and copy-paste the fixes. No jargon, no install, no guesswork. Here is the whole process.

Most SEO tools hand you a wall of data and expect you to know what to do with it. RankBuddy is built the opposite way: it finds what is wrong, explains it like a human, and writes the fix for you. Five steps, about five minutes.

1

Paste your website URL

Enter any page or your whole domain. No login, no install, no verification - RankBuddy reads the live, public version of your site.

2

RankBuddy scans 40+ signals

It checks speed, titles and descriptions, headings, images, schema, social tags, links, technical SEO, and AI readiness - and for full-site audits, finds broken links, duplicate content, and orphan pages.

3

Review your scores and issues

You get an overall score, a grade for each category, and every issue explained in plain English: what it is, why it costs you traffic, and which pages are affected.

4

Copy and paste the fixes

Instead of stopping at the diagnosis, RankBuddy writes the actual fix for your page - the real meta description, schema block, or alt text - ready to paste in.

5

Re-scan to confirm

After you apply the fixes, run the audit again to watch your score climb and confirm the issues are cleared.

That's it.

➤ Written from your page content - just copy and paste

Single page or full site?

You choose. A single-page audit is perfect for spot-fixing one URL - your homepage, a service page, a new landing page. A full-site crawl (up to 50 pages) finds site-wide problems like duplicate titles, broken links, and pages Google can't reach, and rolls everything into one prioritized list.

What RankBuddy checks

Every audit covers 40+ signals across nine categories - speed, search appearance, structure, images, schema, social tags, links, technical SEO, and AI readiness. Want the detail on any one of them? Try the free SEO audit, schema checker, or AI visibility checker.

Why the fixes matter most

Knowing you're missing a meta description doesn't help if you then have to write 40 of them. The reason RankBuddy exists is the last step: it generates the actual fix, written from your page's real content, so improving your site is copy-and-paste instead of homework. Prefer to skip it entirely? You can have me do it for you.

Who it's for

Business owners who want to understand their site without learning jargon, and agencies who want fast, shareable audits with fixes their clients can actually use. No SEO background required.

How it works - questions

Do I need to install anything or verify my site?
No. There is nothing to install and no ownership verification. You paste a URL and RankBuddy audits the live, public version of your site the same way Google sees it. No Google Search Console connection required.
How long does an audit take?
A single-page audit finishes in under a minute. A full-site crawl of up to 50 pages usually takes one to two minutes, depending on your site size and speed.
What do I get at the end?
A score, a categorized list of every issue explained in plain English, and - on paid plans - the actual copy-paste fix for each one: the real meta description, schema markup, or alt text written for your page.
Is it really free?
Yes. Single-page audits are unlimited and free, plus one full-site audit per month at no cost. Paid plans add AI-written fixes, competitor comparison, and unlimited crawls.
