Run Your First SEO Audit
Five minutes after creating a project you can be reading a full technical audit of your site.
Why it matters: The first audit gives you a baseline: every later improvement is measured against it, and it instantly surfaces quick wins that justify the tool on day one.
Before you start
- A project with your website's domain
- Your sitemap URL (usually /sitemap.xml) — or any list of page URLs
Step-by-step
-
1
Open Audit Report
In your project's module bar, click Audit Report.
Step 1 — Open Audit Report in the Kleverish dashboard -
2
Choose your source
Pick Sitemap URL and paste your sitemap (or sitemap index), or switch to Manual URLs and paste pages one per line.
Step 2 — Choose your source in the Kleverish dashboard -
3
Parse and crawl
Click Parse Sitemap, review the discovered URLs, then Create Audit Report. Pages crawl in parallel with live progress.
Step 3 — Parse and crawl in the Kleverish dashboard -
4
Read the results
Each page appears in the table with status, title/meta lengths, words, load time, indexability, canonical, schema and issues.
Expected result
A complete page-by-page audit you can filter, export and re-run — your technical baseline.
Helpful tips
- Start with the Has Issues filter to find the quick wins first.
- Results persist across sessions — you don't need to finish reviewing in one sitting.
Common mistakes
- Auditing only the homepage. Rankings are won and lost on inner pages — always crawl the full sitemap.
Troubleshooting
My sitemap won't parse
Confirm the URL loads XML in your browser. WordPress sites often use /sitemap_index.xml — paste the index and Kleverish handles the rest.
