What is SEOBolt best for?

SEOBolt is best for recurring technical SEO audits, LLM Search readiness checks, apply-ready fix plans, AI-agent remediation over MCP, scheduled monitoring, and client-ready reports.

Does SEOBolt replace enterprise SEO suites?

No. SEOBolt is transparent about its data sources and is focused on audits, monitoring, reports, and workflow. It does not claim to have a proprietary backlink index like large enterprise SEO suites.

Does SEOBolt work with AI assistants?

Yes. SEOBolt has a built-in MCP server for Claude and a REST API. AI agents can sign up, run audits, and get results programmatically.

A Screaming Frog Alternative That Runs Itself

Screaming Frog is a desktop SEO spider you run by hand. SEOBolt crawls from the cloud on a schedule, turns issues into code-level fix plans, and lets AI agents pull those plans over MCP.

Screaming Frog alternative FAQ

Do I need to install anything?

No. SEOBolt runs in the browser and crawls from the cloud, so scheduled crawls keep running when your computer is off.

Does SEOBolt replace Screaming Frog's custom extraction?

Not fully. SEOBolt is opinionated: it reports grouped issues with fix snippets. Keep Screaming Frog if you depend on custom extraction or deep manual crawl configuration.

Is there a free plan?

Yes. SEOBolt's free plan covers 2 projects, 3 crawls per month, and up to 100 pages per crawl. Paid plans are $19, $49, and $99 per month.

Can AI agents use SEOBolt crawls?

Yes. On Pro and Business, the MCP server exposes seo_start_crawl, seo_audit, and seo_fix_plan so an agent can crawl, fix, and verify.
