Free SEO Audit for Recruitment Agencies
Recruitment sites carry two crawl problems at once: thousands of short-lived job URLs and a marketing site competing with them. Left unmanaged, expired jobs eat crawl budget and the service pages never get seen. The audit shows where crawl budget is leaking.
Why recruitment agencies struggle with SEO
Expired job postings returning 200 instead of 404/410 waste crawl budget at scale.
Faceted job-search URLs generate near-infinite parameter combinations with no canonical or robots rules.
Sector service pages are outranked by the firm's own job listings for the same terms.
What we typically find on recruitment agencies sites
- Expired jobs soft-200ing instead of returning 410
- Faceted search parameters left crawlable with no canonical
- Missing JobPosting schema on live listings
- Sector landing pages cannibalised by listing pages
- Sitemap listing dead job URLs
How we check this
Nothing on this page is estimated. When you submit a URL the audit engine fetches the live page and runs the same probes on every site — the list above is simply the subset that fails most often on recruitment agencies sites.
- Server-side HTML fetch: title, meta description, headings, canonical, hreflang, robots directives and internal links are parsed from the response body.
- Google PageSpeed Insights: Core Web Vitals (LCP, CLS, INP) and the mobile render, pulled from the free public API.
- Structured data: every JSON-LD, microdata and RDFa block is parsed and checked for the types this industry needs.
- Crawlability: robots.txt rules, sitemap presence and reachability, HTTPS and certificate validity, and a sampled internal-link check for 404s.
