Introduction

AuxMeta is an SEO monitoring and automation platform that crawls your websites, detects technical issues, generates sitemaps and robots.txt files, and monitors your pages continuously so you catch ranking-killing problems before they cost you traffic.

This documentation covers every feature available in AuxMeta — from adding your first site to configuring the white-label API. Use the sidebar to jump to any section.

Create your account

Go to auxmeta.com/sign-up and create a free account. No credit card is required. AuxMeta uses secure OAuth — you can sign up with Google, GitHub, or email.

• Free plan: up to 3 sites, unlimited manual crawls, sitemap & robots.txt generation
• Pro plan ($39/mo): up to 15 sites, AI SEO suggestions, scheduled crawling, alerts, team access
• Premium plan ($99/mo): up to 50 sites, headless crawl, white-label API, SLA support

Add your first site

After logging in, click Add Site in the dashboard. Enter your domain including the protocol:

https://yourdomain.com

AuxMeta validates the URL, confirms it is reachable, and immediately queues a discovery crawl. Within 2 minutes your site card will show the number of pages discovered, any critical errors found, and your Core Web Vitals snapshot.

Dashboard overview

The main dashboard surfaces five key panels:

• Sites — all your connected domains with health status at a glance
• Issues — prioritized list of detected problems across all sites
• Reports — crawl history, Core Web Vitals trends, keyword movements
• API Keys — generate and manage keys for programmatic access
• Settings — billing, notifications, team members, integrations

Core Features

auxmeta / docs / core-features

Web Crawling

AuxMeta's crawler discovers every URL on your site by following internal links from your homepage and sitemap. It supports both standard (HTML) and JavaScript-rendered pages (headless crawl on Pro / Premium).

Two crawl modes are available from the Sites panel → Start Crawl:

• Light Crawl — checks status codes, title tags, meta descriptions, canonical tags, and basic on-page signals. Fast — most sites complete in under 3 minutes.
• Deep Crawl — full render pipeline, checks JavaScript-generated content, structured data (schema.org), Core Web Vitals, image compression, and duplicate content fingerprinting.

Issue Detection

After each crawl, AuxMeta generates a prioritized Issues list. Issues are classified into four severity levels:

Monitoring & Alerts

URL Monitoring watches your highest-value pages between crawls. Configure it from Sites → Monitor URLs. AuxMeta fires an alert when:

• The page returns a 4xx or 5xx status code
• The title tag or meta description changes unexpectedly
• A noindex directive appears on a previously indexable page
• Core Web Vitals drop below the passing threshold
• Page content changes by more than a configurable percentage

Alerts are delivered via email or SMSPro. Configure your notification preferences under Settings → Notifications.

Scheduled Crawls Pro

Scheduled Crawling removes the need to remember to run audits manually. From the Sites panel → Crawl Settings, configure:

• Frequency — daily, weekly, or monthly
• Crawl type — Light or Deep
• Throttling — requests per second to avoid overloading small servers
• Crawl profiles — save named configurations to switch between Light and Deep schedules per site

History & Reporting

The Reports section gives you a longitudinal view of your site's SEO health. Widgets include:

• Issue trend — open issue count by severity over time
• Core Web Vitals — LCP, INP, and CLS history per page
• Indexed pages — how many pages are confirmed indexed vs. discovered
• Keyword positions — (requires GSC integration) rank tracking over time
• Crawl comparison — diff between any two crawl snapshots

Tools

Sitemap Generator

AuxMeta generates a clean, submission-ready sitemap.xml from your crawl data — only canonical 200-status URLs without noindex or robots.txt blocks.

Robots.txt Generator

The Robots.txt Generator provides a visual rule builder. Select the user-agent, define allow and disallow paths, and AuxMeta outputs a validated file you can deploy directly.

User-agent: *
Disallow: /admin/
Disallow: /private/
Allow: /

Sitemap: https://yourdomain.com/sitemap.xml

AI SEO Suggestions Pro

AuxMeta's AI analyzes your crawled pages against search intent signals and identifies quick wins and content gaps. For each suggestion you get a target keyword, current best-ranking page, content brief, and internal linking recommendations.

Headless Crawl Premium

Headless Crawl runs your pages in a real Chromium browser and captures the fully JavaScript-rendered DOM — essential for React, Next.js, Vue, Angular, lazy-loaded content, and accurate Core Web Vitals measurement.

Integrations

auxmeta / docs / integrations

Google Search Console

Connecting GSC enriches your AuxMeta reports with real traffic data — impressions, clicks, average position, and CTR for every page and keyword. To connect: Settings → Integrations → Google Search Console → Authorize.

• Keyword position tracking without manual setup
• Click and impression data overlaid on your crawl timeline
• Identify pages with high impressions but low CTR
• Detect indexing gaps: pages AuxMeta found that GSC hasn't indexed yet

Analytics Platforms

AuxMeta integrates with Google Analytics 4 and other platforms via webhook. Once connected, AuxMeta can overlay traffic data on issue timelines — so you can see exactly when a crawl issue started affecting your traffic.

CMS Integrations

AuxMeta provides native plugins for WordPress and Webflow, and a generic webhook trigger for headless CMS platforms (Contentful, Sanity, Strapi) to automatically trigger a crawl on content publish.
