Alert severities

SEO radar Alert list

Every alert has a default priority. Critical are items that you might always want to look at, such as a meta-robots tag changing or title. High are still important and medium might be considered informational. Low priority alerts are completely suppressed. However, you may not agree with our defaults. No two sites are the same so you can configure priorities on the settings screen. Priority settings can be changed on globally or they can be domain specific.

The only way to capture…
what’s happening in real-time

We have large sites, and we have lots and lots of content coming and going any given day, so it's impossible to stay on top of all these sites. The only way to capture all this stuff and see what's happening in real-time is to have a tool like SEO Radar”

It's pre-set for SEO

Crawling an entire site is generally unnecessary and takes a long time. I like that SEO Radar sends emails on all the SEO elements someone typically cares about. It's pre-set for SEO. They already know what people are looking for, and it's helpful that they spoon feed you: on this day, this element on the page has changed, and this is what it used to look like. They already capture the screenshot for you.

SEO Radar…helped us see everything

SEO Radar helped us automate a process that was tedious and manual in the past. It helped us see everything in a much more visual manner to better digest some of the issues between QA and production environments. SEORadar allows us the efficiency, scale, and automation we want.

Catch everything at once

It doesn't matter how big your team is, you won't be able to catch everything at once. So, looking for a solution like SEO Radar was great. We use it every day. It's the first thing I have my team check every morning when they sign on
