I spent a decade running construction businesses in West Africa. Concrete, rebar, formwork. You don't get paid for the dashboard you built. You get paid when the building stands up.
When I started looking at the SEO tool market, every product wanted to be the same thing: a dashboard you log into every day. Rank tracking. Domain Authority graphs. Backlink CSVs with 50,000 rows you'll never read. Monthly subscriptions that quietly renew whether you use the tool or not.
None of them wanted to be the thing that actually fixes your site.
So we built SEOGrade as the opposite.
What we don't do
We don't track rankings. You can't control your rank. You can control what's on your site — your titles, your schema, your content, your internal linking. We audit what you can actually change and tell you exactly how to change it. Watching a number go up and down every day is not a strategy. It's a distraction.
We don't show Domain Authority. Moz invented Domain Authority. Google doesn't use it. It's a proprietary metric designed to keep you subscribed to Moz. We show you the signals that actually matter: referring domains, brand mentions, entity presence across the sources LLMs are trained on.
We don't give you a backlink CSV with 50,000 rows. You'll act on maybe 5 of those links. We tell you which 5. Every finding in our reports comes with the exact fix — not a spreadsheet you need to interpret yourself.
We don't sell subscriptions. Audit your site. Fix what's broken. Come back in 90 days. That's the model. We charge once per report because that's how long it takes for your fixes to compound. Monthly billing on an SEO audit tool is a misaligned incentive — it means the tool profits when your problems persist.
Free audit
Grade your site free
See how you score across all 9 categories — in roughly 60 seconds. No signup.
We don't pretend AI search doesn't exist. Most SEO tools were built before ChatGPT. They audit the same five things they audited in 2015. We score nine categories, including AI Citability and Generative Engine Optimization, because that's where your next customer is already looking.
What we do
We crawl your site in 60 seconds and grade it across nine categories. Every finding comes with the exact fix — written in plain English, with the code snippet if you need it.
You get a report. You fix your site. You move on.
If you want us to fix it for you, we do that too. Fixed scope, fixed price, real deliverables.
Why this matters
Every tool in this market is designed to keep you using it. The subscription model depends on it. The complexity depends on it. The 50,000-row CSV depends on it.
We're designed to make you not need us.
That's not a tagline. It's the business model. We make money when you buy a report. You save money when you don't need another one. Our incentives are aligned with yours in a way that a $99/month subscription never can be.
If that sounds like the kind of tool you've been looking for, start with the free audit. It takes 60 seconds and it's genuinely free — no credit card, no signup, no "free trial" that auto-converts.
