With Settings Pre-Check, the first time’s the charm. Achieve a more efficient, comprehensive SEO crawl by removing the risk of configuration issues resulting in errors like a 1-URL report.

Settings Pre-Check helps you review your analysis settings to:

Get Insights Faster

Errors in crawl waste valuable time that could be better spent analyzing complete, accurate data insights.

Settings Pre-Check offers two helpful safeguards against launching an incomplete crawl. First, Botify verifies that the starting point of your SEO analysis is valid. Second, we check to see if a Sitemap file is available on site to be added to the crawl settings.

Save time by validating your settings in advance to be sure that:

• The start URL is retrievable
• A start URL is not a redirection
• A start URL is compatible with the robots.txt of the website
• A start URL has valid links
• All links within a start URL are compatible with the robots.txt
• All links within a start URL are compatible with the allowed domains

To ensure a complete crawl, Botify automatically detects if:

• A Sitemap file is available
• The Sitemap URL returns a HTTP 200 status code
• The Sitemap URL can be found within the robots.txt file (and retrieved)
