Configure Custom Crawl Settings for Your Site Architecture
Before running a crawl, a specialist reviews your robots.txt, sitemap, and URL structure to set crawl scope, user-agent, and rendering mode correctly. Misconfigured crawls return misleading data, so this setup step is treated as a deliverable, not a formality. You receive a saved configuration file you can reuse or hand off.
Run Scheduled Crawls and Track Changes Over Time
We run crawls on a cadence you define (weekly, monthly, or post-deploy) and compare results against prior exports to flag new issues and confirm resolved ones. Screaming Frog's crawl comparison feature is used to surface regressions after site updates or migrations. You get a change log, not just a raw export.
Build and Maintain Custom Extraction Rules
Using Screaming Frog's custom extraction tab, we write XPath, CSS path, or regex rules to pull specific on-page elements your standard crawl does not capture by default, such as structured data fields, custom meta attributes, or CMS-specific markup. These rules are documented so they can be updated when your templates change. Deliverable is a saved extraction config and a sample output file.
Produce Prioritized Technical Audit Reports from Crawl Data
Raw Screaming Frog exports are filtered, sorted, and cross-referenced to produce a structured audit report organized by issue severity and estimated fix effort. We segment findings into categories like broken internal links, redirect chains, duplicate title tags, and missing canonical tags, then assign priority based on crawl depth and traffic data from a connected Google Search Console or Analytics property. You receive a report your team can assign and work from directly.
Integrate Screaming Frog Data with Google Sheets and Looker Studio
Crawl exports are imported into Google Sheets using structured templates that allow ongoing tracking without rebuilding the dataset each time. Where clients want a live dashboard, we connect cleaned export data to Looker Studio to visualize trends in crawl errors, index coverage, and page speed scores over time. This turns one-time audit data into a monitoring layer.
Support Site Migrations with Pre- and Post-Crawl Audits
For domain migrations, CMS changes, or HTTPS transitions, we run a full pre-migration crawl to document the existing URL inventory, redirect map, and on-page metadata baseline. After launch, we run a post-migration crawl and compare both exports to identify broken redirects, lost canonicals, or missing pages before they affect rankings. Deliverables include both crawl exports, a redirect validation report, and a flagged issue list for your dev team.
