# Site Audit Monitor: a weekly auto-audit that catches regressions before traffic drops

> A one-off audit goes stale at the next deploy. Site Audit Monitor re-audits your pages weekly (GEO/SEO scores), computes the delta vs the previous run and alerts you on a drop — included in the Pro subscription ($59/mo) versus Sitebulb Cloud from £95.

The classic story: the site passed an audit, everything got fixed, score 85. Two months later — a reviews-block redesign, a new caching plugin, three template edits. The score is 61 now, but nobody knows, because the audit was **one-off**. Traffic sags in 4–6 weeks, and the expensive retroactive root-cause hunt begins.

> Site Audit Monitor flips the model: the audit becomes a WEEKLY background process. Your site score is a time series; any drop is an alert today, not an investigation next quarter. Included in Pro — $59/mo.

## How it works

1. **Add a domain** in the cabinet's Site Audit tab → the first audit runs immediately (~1–2 min).
2. The engine takes **up to 5 pages from your sitemap** (homepage + top pages), audits each and assigns 4 scores: **overall**, **answerability**, **citation-worthiness**, **agent-readiness** — the same engine as our [paid GEO audits](/tools/audit-all/).
3. **Every week** — an automatic re-audit and a **delta** vs the previous run.
4. **Average score drops ≥5 points → an alert** in Telegram and the Alert Center. Each audit row in the cabinet expands into a per-page score table.

## Where it sits among the tools

| | **Site Audit Monitor** | Sitebulb Cloud | JetOctopus | OnCrawl |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Price | **inside Pro — $59/mo** | from £95/mo | from ~$30/mo | from ~€49/mo |
| Model | weekly quality audit of key pages | scheduled recurring crawls | crawl + log analysis | enterprise crawl+logs |
| Scale | up to 5 pages, deep | thousands of URLs | 100K+ URLs, 2M log lines | hundreds of thousands |
| GEO/AI scores (answerability, citation) | **✓ — the core** | — | — | — |
| Regression alerts | ✓ score delta | ✓ | ✓ configurable | ✓ |
| Best for | small/mid sites, GEO focus | technical SEOs | technical SEOs with logs | enterprise |

To be fair: with 200,000 URLs and crawl-budget log analysis on the menu, you want JetOctopus/OnCrawl. Site Audit Monitor solves a different problem: **keeping the key pages that feed your site from degrading unnoticed** — with an angle classic crawlers don't have: GEO/AI readiness.

## Typical first-month findings

- **A −12 delta right after a deploy** — the new template dropped schema markup site-wide: fixed in an hour, because the deploy→drop link is visible by snapshot date.
- **One page at 34/100 against a 78 average** — a rewritten article lost its answer capsules and structure: a targeted refactor instead of site-wide panic.
- **A slow −2…−3 monthly drift** — content aging evenly: the signal to schedule refreshes before traffic starts falling.

> Site Audit Monitor is included in the **Pro subscription ($59/mo)** together with weekly AI-visibility, Rank Tracker (up to 1,000 keywords, 3,000 checks/mo) and backlink monitoring.

**Try it:** the **Site Audit** tab in the [seo·matrix cabinet](/cabinet) → subscribe to **Pro — $59/mo** → add a domain.

## FAQ

### Why schedule audits when I can run one manually?

A one-off audit goes stale after the first deploy: a template update, a new CMS plugin, edited articles — and the page structure changed. A recurring audit turns the score into a TIME SERIES: a regression shows up as a delta, not as an accidental discovery a quarter later.

### Which pages are checked?

Up to 5 pages from your sitemap.xml (sitemap-index supported): the homepage + top pages. Each gets overall, answerability (AI-answer fitness), citation-worthiness and agent-readiness scores.

### When do I get an alert?

When the site's average score drops 5+ points versus the previous snapshot — in Telegram and the cabinet's Alert Center. That's how a broken deploy, dropped schema markup or accidentally noindexed pages get caught.

### How is this different from Sitebulb or JetOctopus?

Sitebulb Cloud (from £95/mo) and JetOctopus (from ~$30/mo) are deep technical crawlers: hundreds of thousands of URLs, log analysis, segments. Site Audit Monitor is a light guardian of your KEY pages' quality with a GEO/AI focus — a different tool for a different job and budget.

### Does it measure AI readiness?

Yes — that's the differentiator: besides classic checks, every page is scored on answerability and citation-worthiness — how fit its structure and facts are for being cited by ChatGPT/Perplexity/AI Overviews.
