Start with the audit, then confirm Google-side treatment.

Open another workflow if the page needs schema, speed, internal-link, content, or comparison work.

Authenticated inspection layer

Search Console Inspector

Sign in with your own Google account, choose one of your verified Search Console properties, and inspect how Google is treating a specific URL. This adds the layer a crawler-only audit cannot fully confirm on its own: indexing treatment, canonical handling, crawl state, and the Google-side view of the page.

Run the SEO audit first Read the Search Console guide

Connect and inspect

Use your own verified Search Console property, then inspect the exact page you care about.

Read-only Google access TheFreeSEOToolKit only requests Search Console read-only access. We use it to list your verified properties and generate the inspection report you request. We do not edit your Search Console settings, submit sitemaps, or make changes to your Google account. Read the Google data access note.

Sample output

What an inspection report can show

Indexing state

URL is indexed, but ranking work may not stick if Google selected a different canonical.

Google canonical

Google-selected canonical matches the submitted page, so content and internal links become the next focus.

Next action

Review indexing blockers first, then compare against the live SEO audit and improve page-level issues.

Methodology note

How to read this tool

Can checkSearch Console signals

It can use read-only Google access to show property URLs, inspection states, canonicals, and next actions.

Cannot knowRanking potential alone

Indexing does not mean the page is good enough to rank. Content quality, links, and competition still matter.

Review manuallyProperty and URL match

Domain properties can be confusing. Confirm the inspected URL belongs to the selected verified property.
