Add your domain

→Start with your homepage, then your highest-traffic pages

→Critical issues hurt rankings most — fix those first

→The score gain column shows exactly how many points each fix is worth

Check your AI visibility score

~3 minOpen →

The AI Visibility tab scores your content across 6 dimensions: LLM readability, content structure, schema coverage, FAQ coverage, content freshness, and entity clarity. Each gap has a specific fix.

→FAQPage schema is the highest-impact fix for most sites — adds 10-15 points

→Add llms.txt to tell AI crawlers what content to prioritise

FAQ

How often are audits run automatically?

On the Pro plan, audits run weekly by default. You can configure daily, weekly, or on-demand only in Settings → Audit Schedule. You can also trigger a manual audit anytime.

How does AI visibility scoring work?

SEOVentra uses the Claude API to analyse your content across 6 dimensions and returns a 0-100 score per dimension. Each score comes with specific, actionable fixes — not generic advice.

What happens if I go over my GSC quota?

The GSC Indexing API has a default limit of 200 URLs per day. SEOVentra queues submissions and prioritises new content. The queue auto-flushes at midnight when the quota resets.

Can I use SEOVentra without verifying my domain?

Yes — the free audit tool at seoventra.com works without verification. But to use the dashboard features (scheduled audits, GSC, keyword tracking), domain verification is required.

Does IndexNow work with Google?

No — Google does not participate in the IndexNow protocol. Use the GSC Indexing API integration (Settings → Integrations) for Google submissions.
