Take Action — Optimize Hub

AI Audit Agent Premium

The AI Audit Agent is a Premium-only feature that crawls your live website, sends the structured page data to Claude, and gets back a prioritised list of technical recommendations specifically for AI crawlers. Think of it as "PageSpeed Insights, but for ChatGPT".

How it works

  1. You click "Run Audit"

    From the Technical Suggestions page or the AI Audit tile in the Optimize Hub. The button is only visible on Premium plans.

  2. Scout crawls a sample of your site

    The crawler fetches your homepage, top product/landing pages, and any pages already cited in AI responses about your brand. It respects robots.txt and uses a polite delay between requests.

  3. Claude analyses the structured data

    For each crawled page, the structured HTML, schema, and meta data are sent to Claude (claude-haiku-4-5), which returns a list of issues and concrete fixes.

  4. Recommendations land in Technical Suggestions

    Each Audit recommendation is tagged with an "AI Audit" badge. Filter Technical Suggestions to source = "AI Audit" to see only the audit-driven items.

What you get in each recommendation

Cost & cadence

The AI Audit costs roughly $0.25 per run

Because it crawls multiple pages and calls Claude with their full structured content, every run consumes real API tokens. To keep your bill under control, Scout caches Audit results for 7 days — re-running inside the cache window returns the previous result without a fresh crawl. The Audit also never runs automatically; you have to click the button.

Recommended cadence: re-run the Audit once a month, or after any significant site change (new template, new schema rollout, sitemap restructure).

Verifying Audit fixes

Audit recommendations have the same Verify workflow as other Technical Suggestions: mark Done, click Verify, Scout re-fetches the affected page and confirms whether the fix is in place. Verification doesn't cost a Claude call — it's a direct check against the live HTML.

Audit + Scan combo is the killer workflow

Run a fresh scan first, then run the Audit. The Audit knows which pages are already being cited in AI answers (because Scout tells it) and weights its recommendations toward those pages — so the fixes you ship have the highest possible chance of immediately moving your Visibility Score.
