What is a site audit tool, and what is Site Health Audit?
A site audit tool checks a website's pages against a set of technical and content criteria and reports what fails, what passes and what to fix first. Site Health Audit is Novaverb's site audit tool: it grades the URLs captured in your project crawl against the NovaBrain SEO and AEO criteria you switched on, orders findings by the severity each criterion carries, and records later rechecks on fresh crawl evidence.
Site Health Audit đánh giá các URL dự án đã thu thập theo các kiểm tra SEO và AEO được NovaBrain hỗ trợ, sắp xếp các phát hiện theo mức độ nghiêm trọng của NovaBrain và ghi lại các lần kiểm tra lại về sau dựa trên bằng chứng.
What does the site audit tool check?
The site audit tool evaluates every captured URL against the supported NovaBrain checks, from status codes, canonicals and indexability to titles, descriptions, headings, structured data and answer readiness, and turns the result into a ranked work list: errors, warnings and passes, a severity and an affected-page count per criterion, and a fix-first queue that opens on the page at fault.
- Grades captured URLs against the NovaBrain SEO and AEO criteria you switched on
- Orders findings by the severity and confidence encoded in each criterion
- Counts a criterion the crawl could not measure as needing evidence, never as a pass
- Opens a fix-first queue on the page at fault, with the captured evidence beside it
- Shows available guidance, and an AI draft only where that action and model are configured
- Records rechecks against a later crawl, so a fix is closed by new evidence
Who is the site audit tool for?
The site audit tool is for anyone who has to decide what to fix first and prove it was fixed: a technical SEO facing a long list, an agency reporting to a client who asks why a finding matters, a developer who wants the page and the evidence rather than a category name, and a marketing lead who needs the health of the site to be a measured number.
Technical SEOs
Work a queue ordered by severity, with the affected pages and the captured evidence a click away.
Đại lý
Explain each finding by the criterion behind it and show the recheck that closed it.
Các nhà phát triển
Take the page, the failing field and the guidance into a ticket; re-crawl to verify.
Marketing leads
Read a health percentage computed from graded checks only, and its history across audits.
Why use a site audit tool that grades from evidence?
Use a site audit tool that grades from evidence because a wall of red and green tells you something is wrong but not what to fix first, or whether a green means anything was measured. Site Health Audit orders findings by the severity NovaBrain assigns, keeps the affected pages behind each one, and counts an unmeasured criterion as needing evidence instead of as a pass.

How does the site audit tool work, from crawl to verified fix?
The site audit tool works in four steps. Crawl the site so the audit has captured URLs to grade; grade them against the criteria you switched on; work the fix-first queue from the top, where each finding opens on the page at fault with its evidence and guidance; then re-crawl and let the same criterion run again, so the fix is verified by new evidence rather than marked done.
Thu thập dữ liệu
Run a project crawl. The audit grades what the crawl captured, within its discovery, permission and plan limits, and nothing it did not fetch.
Grade
Each captured URL is checked against the active NovaBrain SEO and AEO criteria; each finding carries the criterion's severity and confidence.
Làm việc theo hàng đợi
The fix-first queue opens on the page at fault with the captured evidence and any available guidance, ordered by severity, not by count.
Xác minh và theo dõi
A later crawl re-runs the same criterion. Findings update when the fresh evidence is available, and the history of earlier audits stays visible.
The site audit tool orders findings by NovaBrain severity, not by noise
Every finding carries the severity and confidence encoded in the active NovaBrain criterion, so the queue starts with what the standard says matters most rather than with whatever occurs most often. The health percentage is calculated from graded checks only: a criterion the crawl could not measure is counted as needing evidence, which is why a green here means something was measured.
- Severity and confidence per criterion
- Health from graded checks only
- Unmeasured criteria stay unmeasured
The site audit tool shows guidance and evidence where they are supported
A finding opens on the page at fault with the captured field that failed, the criterion's explanation and any available guidance. Where an AI fix draft is possible, it is offered only when that action and a model are configured for the workspace; nothing pretends to have written a fix it cannot back, and nothing is applied to your site without you.
- Captured evidence beside each finding
- Guidance per criterion
- AI drafts only where configured
The site audit tool rechecks on fresh crawl evidence
Verification is a measurement, not a checkbox. A later crawl re-runs the same criterion against the fresh capture, findings update when the required evidence is available, and the history of earlier audits stays beside the current one, so a change can be seen rather than assumed and a regression is caught by the same check that found the original problem.
- Recheck against a later crawl
- Audit history kept
- Regressions caught by the same criterion
An evidence-graded site audit tool vs. a score-first site checker
A score-first site checker computes a percentage, colors it, and leaves you to guess what moved it and which pages are involved. An evidence-graded site audit tool starts from the criteria, keeps the affected pages behind each finding, counts unmeasured criteria as unmeasured, and verifies a fix with a new crawl. One is a number to show; the other is a list to work.
- A percentage with no criterion behind each point
- A green that may mean nothing was measured
- Findings ordered by how often they occur
- A fix is closed when someone ticks it
- Health computed from graded checks only
- Unmeasured criteria counted as needing evidence
- Findings ordered by NovaBrain severity and confidence
- A fix is closed by a recheck on a fresh crawl
What data does the site audit tool grade?
The site audit tool grades one thing: the URLs your project crawl captured, with the fields the crawl retrieved for them. The criteria come from NovaBrain, the standards library Novaverb maintains for SEO and AEO checks, and the audit reads only the criteria you switched on. Where the crawl lacks a field a criterion needs, that criterion is reported as needing evidence.
The project crawl
Status, canonical, directives, titles, headings, structured data and links for every captured URL.
Tiêu chí NovaBrain
The active SEO and AEO checks with their severity and confidence; the audit does not invent a rule.
Sitemap
The sitemap view beside the audit shows what the site declares against what the crawl found.
Earlier audits
Previous runs are kept, so the health percentage has a history and a recheck has a baseline.
What can you produce with the site audit tool?
What you can produce with the site audit tool is a work plan and its proof: a severity-ordered queue of findings, the affected pages for each, the captured field and guidance per finding, a health percentage computed from graded checks, the sitemap comparison, an export for tickets, and a recheck history that shows which findings closed on fresh evidence.
How is Novaverb's site audit tool different?
Novaverb's site audit tool is different because its numbers can be traced. Severity comes from a named NovaBrain criterion, not from frequency; the health percentage counts only what was measured; guidance and AI drafts appear only where supported and configured; and a fix is verified by re-running the criterion on a fresh crawl rather than by a checkbox.
How does the site audit tool help technical SEO?
For technical SEO, the site audit tool is the ranked to-do list that a crawl becomes. It tells you which criteria fail on how many pages, which failures the standard rates as severe, which page to open first, and what the captured field looked like. Because the same criterion re-runs on the next crawl, you can show that the redirect chain, the duplicate title or the broken canonical is gone rather than assert it.
How does the site audit tool help AI answer readiness?
For AI answer readiness, the site audit tool applies the AEO criteria in NovaBrain to the same captured pages: structured data present and valid, question-shaped headings with answers beneath them, FAQ coverage, and the page structure an answer engine can retrieve. Those findings sit in the same queue as the SEO ones, so readiness is worked as a fix list, and whether an engine then cites the page is measured separately.
Which plans include the site audit tool?
The site audit tool is included from the Free plan. Tiers differ in scale: how many audits a month, how many URLs each may grade, how many seats and workspaces, and how much audit history stays open. The criteria, the severity ordering and the recheck behave the same on every plan; guidance and AI drafts depend on what you configure.

How much does the site audit tool cost?
The site audit tool costs what your plan costs, and the Free plan includes it. Plans are priced on scale, audits and data credits a month, URLs per audit, seats, workspaces and history depth, and the current amount for each tier is on the pricing page, read from one source so this page never quotes a number that has changed.
So sánh các gói →Best practices for a site audit tool
The best practices for a site audit tool are about order and proof. Switch on the criteria that match your goals before grading, work the queue from the top of the severity order rather than by count, read the evidence before assigning a ticket, re-crawl after each batch of fixes instead of marking them done, and keep the audit history so a regression is visible.
- Switch on the NovaBrain criteria that match your goals before the first audit
- Work the queue by severity, not by which finding has the most pages
- Open the captured evidence before you write the ticket
- Re-crawl after a batch of fixes and let the recheck close them
- Keep the audit history; a regression shows up as a criterion that failed again
How does the site audit tool work with the rest of Novaverb?
The site audit tool sits between the crawl and the fix. Crawl Explorer captures the URLs it grades, Backlinks Explorer explains the internal links a finding points at, GEO & AEO Readiness deepens the answer-structure checks, the content studio drafts the titles and descriptions the audit flagged, and Reports carry the health history to the people who asked for it.
Frequently asked questions about the site audit tool
What does the health percentage in the site audit tool mean?
It is the share of graded checks that passed, computed only from criteria the crawl could measure. A criterion whose required field the crawl did not capture is counted as needing evidence rather than as a pass, so the percentage never rises because something was not looked at.
How does the site audit tool decide what to fix first?
By the severity and confidence encoded in the active NovaBrain criterion each finding belongs to. The fix-first queue starts with the most severe findings and opens on the page at fault, so the order reflects what the standard says matters, not which problem happens to occur on the most pages.
Does the site audit tool fix issues automatically?
No. It shows the captured evidence, the criterion's guidance where supported, and an AI fix draft only when that action and a model are configured for your workspace. You apply changes on your site; the audit verifies them on the next crawl rather than assuming the draft was used.
How is a fix verified in the site audit tool?
By re-running the same criterion against a later crawl. When the fresh evidence is available the finding updates, the audit history keeps the earlier result beside the new one, and a regression is caught by the check that found the original problem. Nothing is closed by a checkbox.
Which criteria does the site audit tool use?
The NovaBrain SEO and AEO criteria you switched on for the project: status and redirect health, canonicals and indexability, titles, descriptions and headings, structured data and answer readiness among them. The audit grades against that library and does not invent rules of its own.
Can the site audit tool audit a large site?
It grades every URL the project crawl captured within your plan's URL limit, and the queue is built to be worked by severity rather than read end to end. Affected-page lists and exports keep large findings manageable, and the recheck closes them in batches on later crawls.
Run your first audit with the site audit tool
Run your first audit with the site audit tool by creating a free workspace, crawling your site and switching on the criteria you care about; the queue opens on the most severe finding with its evidence. Compare the plans if you already know how many audits and URLs a month you need.
