About SEO Score

SEO Score API is a hosted REST API that returns a scored SEO audit for any URL. A single call runs checks across seven areas — meta and content, technical SEO, social and Open Graph tags, performance, accessibility, AI readability, and SXO/AEO/AIO scoring — and returns a 0-100 score, a letter grade, and ranked priority fixes as JSON. Each check reports a pass, warning, or fail status, along with an actionable fix.

The API is built for developers and agencies who want SEO checks embedded in code, CI/CD pipelines, or AI agents rather than accessed through a dashboard. It works on JavaScript-rendered sites and Cloudflare pages, authenticates via an X-API-Key header, and is accessible through Python, JavaScript, cURL, or any HTTP client. Paid plans add historical score tracking with a GET /history endpoint, batch audits, score monitoring across multiple URLs, and dedicated request-rate quotas.

The free tier offers 2 audits per day and 54 core checks with no credit card required. Paid plans start at $5/month for 200 audits covering all 82 checks, scaling up to $99/month for 25,000 audits with GEO audits, ADA audits, and priority support.

Is there a free tier?

Yes, the free tier includes 2 audits per day with 54 core checks and no credit card required. Paid plans start at $5/month for 200 audits and scale up to 25,000 audits/month.

How do I integrate it into my app?

You send an HTTP GET request to the /audit endpoint with a url parameter and an X-API-Key header, using Python, JavaScript, cURL, or any HTTP client. The response returns the score, grade, checks, and fixes as JSON.

Who is SEO Score API for?

It is built for developers and agencies who want SEO checks in code, CI/CD pipelines, or AI agents rather than in a dashboard.

How is it different from Lighthouse or PageSpeed Insights?

Lighthouse and PageSpeed Insights focus on performance and Web Vitals, while SEO Score API covers 82 checks including on-page tags, schema validation, and AI readability/SXO/AEO/AIO scoring. It is a hosted API with dedicated quotas, a GitHub Action, and SDKs, whereas Lighthouse is a CLI/library you assemble yourself.

What does the AI readability score measure?

It measures how effectively large language models and RAG pipelines can parse and cite a page, evaluating crawl accessibility, structural markup, and content extractability.
