## What the Technical Audit checks

Checks whether AI can crawl, read, and use your website's content so your brand can be recommended in AI answers

### Full Audit Results

The full technical scorecard for a page, with every AI-readability check marked pass, fail, or needs attention.

### Track Changes

## How it works

1. **Crawl Your Website**  
   Give Gumshoe one or more URLs from your website to scan and evaluate whether AI can access your content

2. **Run Technical Checks**  
   Every URL is evaluated against dozens of AI-focused technical checks, including crawlability, readability, structured data, page structure, and more

3. **Identify Issues**  
   See exactly which pages pass, fail, or need attention, along with the technical issues preventing AI from reading or using your content

4. **Prioritize Fixes**  
   Every issue includes clear recommendations so you know what to fix first and why it matters

5. **Improve AI Accessibility**  
   Address the highest-impact issues to make your website easier for AI to crawl, read, and use when answering buyers' questions

## Frequently Asked Questions

### What is a Technical Audit?

A Technical Audit checks a page on your site for the technical factors that affect whether AI models can find, parse, and use your content: crawler access, page structure, schema markup, navigation, content balance, and metadata. Each audit covers one URL and returns a scored report with specific fixes.

### How is this different from a technical SEO audit?

There's overlap, but the ranking systems differ. AI models favor content they can confidently extract and quote: clear self-contained answers, clean structure, accessible rendering. A page can be well-optimized for Google and still be effectively invisible to AI models.

### Which pages should I audit first?

Start with the pages AI is most likely to draw on when describing you: your homepage, pricing, product pages, and comparison content. Your Citation Audit shows which of your pages AI already cites, which is a good priority list.

### How many audits do I get?

Starter includes 10 URL audits per month and Pro includes 50. See the [full plan comparison](/#pricing).

### How is it different from the Content Audit?

The Technical Audit checks whether AI models can access and parse a page. The [Content Audit](/content/product/content-audit/index.html) checks whether your content answers the questions buyers actually ask AI. Access first, substance second; most teams need both.
