●●SolidSolve My Problem

28-point SEO audit API with actionable fixes, but Screaming Frog and SEMrush already own this space.

Strengths
  • •One-call API design is genuinely developer-friendly with no dashboard overhead—fits naturally into CI/CD and automation
  • •28-check breakdown across 5 categories (meta, technical, performance, social, accessibility) is comprehensive and well-scoped for builders
  • •Free tier (5 audits/day) plus tiered pricing ($5/$15/$39/$99) lowers barrier to integration before commit
Weaknesses
  • •SEO auditing is a mature, crowded category with entrenched competitors (Screaming Frog, SEMrush, Ahrefs); API wrapper doesn't create differentiation
  • •No evidence of custom insights or machine learning—appears to be standardized rulesets that SEO tools have audited for years
Target Audience

Developers building CMS tools, agency dashboards, CI/CD pipelines, and SEO-aware integrations

Post Description

Hey! I just launched SEO Score API and I'm looking for early users to try it and tell me what's missing.

*What it does:* Enter any URL → get a 0-100 SEO score with 28 individual checks across meta tags, technical SEO, performance, social/OG, and accessibility. Each issue comes with a severity rating and a specific fix recommendation.

*Who it's for:* Developers building CMS tools, agency dashboards, CI/CD pipelines, or browser extensions that need SEO data.

*Try it:* https://seoscoreapi.com — there's a live demo right on the homepage, no signup needed. Or grab a free API key (5 audits/day) in 10 seconds.

*What I want feedback on:* - Are the 28 checks the right ones? What's missing? - Is the scoring fair? (Try it on your own site) - Is the pricing reasonable? (Free → $5 → $15 → $39 → $99) - Would you actually use this?

Thanks in advance!
