The problem it solves

Broken links quietly damage your site's user experience and search rankings, but nobody has time to click through every page looking for them. Problems can sit unnoticed for weeks before a customer or Google finds them first.

Who it fits

A website owner, webmaster, or SEO professional who needs to keep a site error-free.

How it works

  1. Every week, on a set schedule, the system scans your website's sitemap
  2. It checks each page and flags any that return an error
  3. Broken links are logged in a Google Sheet
  4. A summary email report is sent to you with the full list
What you get

Broken links caught before visitors hit them

You get a weekly report flagging any broken links on your website before they cost you visitors.

What you get

A weekly email report and an updated spreadsheet listing every broken link on your site.

What you need

A Google Sheets account and an email sending account.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.
