What does eiSEO scan for?

eiSEO scans every page of your website for WCAG accessibility violations, technical SEO issues, and answer engine optimization readiness. It uses the axe-core accessibility engine with real Chromium browsers via Playwright, so it catches issues that appear after JavaScript renders, not just what exists in the raw HTML source.

How is eiSEO different from other scanning tools?

Most tools scan for either accessibility or SEO, but not both. eiSEO combines WCAG auditing, technical SEO analysis, and AI search readiness into a single scan. It also supports custom policies, allowing you to define your own rules beyond the standard checks.

How often should I scan my website?

We recommend scanning after every significant content update, template change, or deployment. Regular scheduled scans (weekly or monthly) catch issues introduced by content editors or third-party script changes that may not go through a code review process.

Scanning Your Harvest: How eiSEO Catches What You Miss

Walking the rows

A seasoned farmer doesn't stand at the edge of the field and assume everything's fine. They walk the rows. They check the leaves, test the soil, look for signs of trouble before trouble finds them.

Your website deserves the same attention. That's why we built eiSEO, a tool that walks every row of your site, page by page, checking for the issues that slip past manual review.

Four engines, one dashboard

Most scanning tools do one thing. eiSEO does four, and it does them together:

Accessibility scanning

eiSEO uses axe-core inside a real Chromium browser via Playwright. That means it doesn't just parse your HTML. It renders your pages the way a real user would see them. It catches color contrast failures, missing ARIA attributes, broken keyboard navigation, and dozens of other WCAG AA violations that static analyzers miss.

Technical SEO analysis

Missing meta descriptions, broken heading hierarchies, absent canonical tags, images without dimensions. eiSEO flags the on-page SEO issues that quietly erode your search visibility. Every issue comes with clear remediation guidance, not just an error code.

Custom policy engine

Every organization has its own standards. Maybe your brand requires a specific schema markup on every page. Maybe you need to ensure no page uses inline styles. The custom policy engine lets you define your own rules using CSS selectors and regex patterns, then enforces them across every scan.

AI search optimizer

Search is changing. ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and Claude are answering questions that used to send people to your website. eiSEO's AI visibility dashboard tracks how these systems reference your content, so you can optimize for the fields where search is actually headed.

Built for the way teams actually work

We didn't build eiSEO as an audit you run once a year. It's designed for continuous monitoring: scheduled scans that run automatically, catch regressions before they reach production, and give your team a single source of truth for site quality.

Export issues as CSV for your project board. Share scan results with stakeholders. Set up policies that match your organization's specific requirements. eiSEO meets your workflow where it is, instead of asking you to change it.

The harvest doesn't inspect itself

You wouldn't skip the walk-through before harvest. Don't skip it on your website either. The issues are there. The question is whether you find them first, or your users do.
