The On-Page Audit tool in Search Atlas analyzes your existing web pages and provides actionable SEO recommendations to improve their performance. A common question from customers is whether the tool updates existing pages or creates new content. This article explains how the optimization and publishing workflow operates so you can get the most out of your audit results.
The On-Page Audit tool scans pages on your website and evaluates them against a range of on-page SEO factors. It does not automatically create new blog posts or add new pages to your site. Instead, it focuses on improving the content and structure of your existing pages—including service pages, landing pages, and any other URLs you submit for analysis.
The audit checks for issues and opportunities across areas such as:
Title tags and meta descriptions
Heading structure (H1, H2, H3)
Keyword usage and content relevance
Internal linking opportunities
Page speed and technical signals
Content length and readability
To run an On-Page Audit and act on the recommendations, open your project in Search Atlas and navigate to the On-Page Audit section of the platform.
Submit the URL of the page you want to audit. This is typically an existing service page, homepage, or key landing page.
Review the audit results. The tool surfaces prioritized recommendations grouped by issue type and potential SEO impact.
Apply the suggested changes directly to your existing page in your CMS or website editor. The audit tells you what to change; you implement the edits on your live site.
Re-run the audit after publishing your changes to confirm the issues have been resolved and your score has improved.
No. The On-Page Audit tool is designed to optimize existing content, not generate new pages or blog posts from scratch. If you need to create new content, Search Atlas offers separate content creation tools within the platform that are better suited for drafting new articles or blog posts.
Think of the On-Page Audit as a quality-improvement layer for pages that already exist on your site—it helps you get more out of what you have already published.
Search Atlas provides the recommendations and optimized content suggestions, but you control when and how changes go live. The platform does not directly push edits to your website. Here is the typical publishing flow:
Review the recommendations inside the audit results for the submitted URL.
Make the corresponding edits in your own CMS or website editor.
Publish the changes through your CMS as you normally would.
Return to the On-Page Audit tool and re-run the audit to verify your improvements.
