SEO monitoring for agencies

An agency usually hears about a client's technical problem last — when rankings drop or the client calls. IndexRise checks the key URLs of all your clients every night and tells you in the morning what changed: a noindex after a release, a changed canonical, new redirects, a drop in sitemap URLs.

The agency problem: dozens of sites that change without you

The client ships a new template, a developer changes redirect rules, an SEO plugin updates itself. The agency doesn't control these changes but is accountable for results. A manual audit of every site after every change is impossible — so problems surface only as a traffic drop.

How IndexRise helps agencies

  • All clients in one dashboard — each site is a separate project with its own URLs and sitemaps; the dashboard shows at a glance where something is happening.
  • A baseline, not rules — we save the state of every page and compare it nightly, so you see what changed and since when.
  • A clear signal with the cause — "Page is no longer indexable: noindex (meta robots)" instead of a list of technical diffs.
  • Little noise — critical events are confirmed on the next check, and number-only title changes (prices, dates) are ignored.
  • A declared baseline — import expected titles, descriptions and H1s from CSV, for example after agreeing copy with the client.

A typical day with monitoring

  1. In the morning you get an email only if something critical happened — a list of cases, not a hundred alerts.
  2. You open a case: the baseline value, the current value and how long the change has lasted.
  3. If the change was intended (a new title after an edit), approve the new baseline with one click.
  4. If not, you hand the client something concrete: which URL, what changed, what to restore.

What we monitor

Status codes and redirects, noindex in meta robots and X-Robots-Tag, canonical, robots.txt, title, meta description, H1, duplicated tags, sitemap files and their URL counts, response time and JavaScript pages. Full list: What we monitor.

Before you add a client

Check their key URLs with the free tools: indexability, redirects and sitemap. It's good material for a first conversation about the site's technical state.

Check it on your siteRedirect checkerThe full chain with status codes, targets and headers — up to 10 URLs at once.

Frequently asked questions

How many client projects can I monitor?

Each client is a separate project on your account. During the beta we set URL and project limits together with you — just tell us if you need more.

Does the client need to install anything?

No. We check pages from the outside, the way a search engine crawler does. We don't need server, CMS or Search Console access.

What if a client's site blocks bots?

We say so separately and plainly: which URLs we can't see and since when. Our bot page has the details a client can pass to whoever manages their security.
