Configure the project's SEO audit

Configuring the project's SEO scan — scheduling (manual or automatic, weekly/monthly), maximum number of pages, JavaScript rendering, URL inclusion/exclusion and parameters, thresholds for title/description/words and excluding individual checks from the score.

The Audit Settings control how Miraqo scans the site for this project: how many pages, whether to run JavaScript, which sections to include, when to start the scan on its own. You reach them from SEO Audit → Settings (breadcrumb Dashboard › Project › SEO Audit › Settings).

🗓️ Scheduling

Decide whether the audit starts manually or automatically.

  • Mode — Manual (starts only when you click ▶ Start audit) or Scheduled.
  • Frequency — Weekly or Monthly, with the matching day of the week or day of the month (1–28). Only applies in Scheduled mode.

When scheduling is active, below you see ⏰ Next run and the last one run. Each scheduled run consumes credits from the plan’s monthly budget (1 credit = 1 page with HTTP 200), exactly like a manual start.

🕷️ Crawl

  • Maximum number of pages — page cap for each individual audit (1–5000). The scan stops when it reaches this. This is distinct from the plan’s monthly credit budget (1 credit = 1 page with HTTP 200), which limits the total pages checked in the month across all audits.
  • JavaScript rendering — Automatic (only if needed), Never or Always. Set to Always for sites that load content via JavaScript (SPAs, modern frameworks).
  • Include only URLs starting with — one prefix per line. Empty = entire site. Useful for scanning only one section (e.g. https://example.com/blog/).
  • Exclude URLs starting with — one prefix per line (e.g. https://example.com/cart/).
  • Crawl URLs with parameters (?…) — normally OFF: sort and filter pages are duplicates that Google canonicalises. Tracking parameters (utm, gclid, _gl…) are always ignored.

Multilingual sites. One audit per language is no longer needed: the Topical Cluster separates languages on its own. The Include/Exclude prefixes remain useful to crawl a single language and save credits (e.g. include only /en/). Details and cases (domains, subdomains, folders) in Auditing a multilingual site.

📏 Thresholds

They customise when a meta tag or page is flagged. There are two min/max character pairs — Title (default 30/60) and Description (default 70/158) — plus the minimum words per page (default 200): below that threshold the page is flagged as “thin content”.

Changing thresholds immediately recalculates existing audits, without a new scan.

🚫 Checks to exclude

The checks are grouped by severity, as in the audit Issues: Errors, Warnings and Notices, each with the number of checks in the group. Tick the ones you don’t want in this project’s audit: they disappear from issues and don’t affect the score. Useful for silencing checks that aren’t relevant to your site (e.g. a warning you’ve decided to ignore). This change also applies immediately to existing audits, without re-scanning.

Save with 💾 Save settings.

The Checks to exclude card with the checkboxes split into the Errors, Warnings and Notices groups, one per check, and at the bottom the highlighted Save settings button with the note that thresholds and checks immediately recalculate existing audits
