How to Access Site Audit in GoHighLevel
Follow these steps to open the Site Audit interface inside your GoHighLevel account:
-
Log in to your GoHighLevel account.
-
Go to the appropriate sub-account or location where you manage the website.
-
Navigate to the section of the platform where SEO or Site Audit tools are listed (this may appear under a marketing or website-related menu, depending on your configuration).
-
Select the Site Audit option to open the main audit dashboard.
Once opened, you will see summary metrics, an overview of issues, and options to configure or re-run audits.
Configuring Your First GoHighLevel Site Audit
Before running a full scan, configure your Site Audit settings so the GoHighLevel crawler analyzes the right pages under the right conditions.
Step 1: Define Your Target Website
In the Site Audit setup area:
- Enter your main website URL (for example,
https://www.yoursite.com). - Confirm that the correct protocol (HTTP/HTTPS) and domain are selected.
- Decide if subdomains should be included according to your SEO strategy.
Make sure the entered URL is the primary version you want Google and other search engines to index.
Step 2: Adjust GoHighLevel Crawl Settings
Within GoHighLevel Site Audit options, review the crawl configuration. Typical settings include:
- Maximum pages to crawl: Limit how many URLs the tool will scan during each audit.
- Crawl speed: Use default or slower speeds if you want to minimize server load.
- Respect robots.txt: Ensure the crawler follows your robots rules for compliance.
These controls help you balance thoroughness with performance, especially on larger sites.
Step 3: Set Audit Frequency
To monitor ongoing technical SEO health:
- Choose how often GoHighLevel should run the Site Audit (for example, weekly or monthly).
- Enable automatic re-scans so you can track improvements over time.
- Schedule audits during off-peak hours to reduce any potential impact on server resources.
Regular audits make it easier to catch new issues introduced by development changes or content updates.
Running a Site Audit in GoHighLevel
After setup, initiate your first scan:
-
From the Site Audit dashboard, click the button to start or re-run an audit.
-
Wait for the crawl to complete. Progress indicators will show how many pages have been scanned.
-
Once finished, the dashboard updates with your overall health score and categorized issues.
Depending on the size of your site and server response time, a full audit can take anywhere from a few minutes to significantly longer.
Understanding GoHighLevel Site Audit Results
When the audit is complete, the GoHighLevel interface presents results in a structured format. Typical components include:
Overall Site Health Score
The health score is a high-level indicator of technical SEO quality. It is calculated based on the number and severity of issues discovered during the scan.
- Higher scores indicate fewer critical problems.
- Lower scores suggest immediate technical optimization is needed.
Use this score to prioritize which websites or sections require the most attention.
Issue Types: Errors, Warnings, and Notices
GoHighLevel groups technical findings into three main categories:
- Errors: Critical issues that can seriously affect indexing, crawling, or user experience. These often demand urgent fixes.
- Warnings: Medium-level problems that may reduce SEO performance but are not always urgent.
- Notices: Suggestions and minor issues that can still contribute to incremental improvements.
Select each category to see a detailed list of issues, affected URLs, and suggested actions.
On-Page SEO and Content Signals
The Site Audit also highlights on-page SEO concerns. Typical checks include:
- Missing or duplicate title tags
- Missing, short, or duplicate meta descriptions
- H1 tag issues and header hierarchy problems
- Thin content or pages with very low word count
These insights help you refine your content strategy and ensure your pages are well-optimized for search engines.
Crawlability and Internal Linking
Technical SEO heavily depends on how easily crawlers move through your website. The GoHighLevel Site Audit checks for:
- Broken internal links (4xx errors)
- Redirect chains and loops
- Pages blocked by robots.txt or meta robots tags
- Orphan pages with no internal links pointing to them
Improving these elements can make it easier for search engines to discover and rank key pages.
Fixing Technical SEO Issues Found by GoHighLevel
Once GoHighLevel identifies problems, use the detailed issue lists to plan fixes. A typical workflow looks like this:
-
Sort by severity: Address Errors first, then Warnings, and finally Notices.
-
Export or document tasks: Convert issues into tasks inside your project tool or CRM. You can coordinate this work with your development and content teams.
-
Apply fixes: Update your website code, templates, or content as needed.
-
Re-run the audit: After changes are deployed, run the Site Audit again and confirm that the health score improves.
For agency owners and consultants, you can also present before-and-after reports to clients to demonstrate the impact of your optimization work.
