Side by side
EdenLens and SEOmator's free SEO audit
Both are free, need no signup and look at one page. They answer different questions. SEOmator's audit runs 172 checks on the rendered page and gives a score out of 100. EdenLens reads what a crawler receives before any script runs, and reports up to three verified problems, in the order they block each other, with the repair for each and no score.
What each one does
| EdenLens free audit | SEOmator free SEO audit | |
|---|---|---|
| What it reads | One page as a crawler receives it (no JavaScript run), robots.txt, /sitemap.xml, and every profile the page declares | One page rendered in a headless browser, plus Google Lighthouse scores |
| How much it checks | 10 of the 40 criteria in the EdenLens method | 172 checks in 16 weighted categories |
| What you get back | Up to three verified problems, foundations first; four gate results; three counted readings; what it could not see | A 0 to 100 score with grades per category and every failed check explained |
| Score | None, on principle | Yes, weighted, with the weights shown |
| AI crawlers | robots.txt read against six crawlers that fetch pages for ChatGPT, Claude and Perplexity answers; training crawlers reported as a choice, not a fault | An AI visibility category inside the 172 checks |
| Business identity | Organization or LocalBusiness data checked field by field; declared profiles opened and compared on name, telephone and postcode | Structured data among the categories |
| Repairs | A repair page per problem: the lines to paste, where they go, and the test that proves it worked | Every failed check explained in the report |
| Time and output | About a minute; a PDF of the result | 15 to 30 seconds; a PDF report and a rendered screenshot |
| Signup | None | None |
| The paid step after | One-off reviews by a person: Pro Review £695, Launch £295 | A credit subscription: Free with 500 credits a month, Standard $49 a month, Expert $250 a month |

Choose SEOmator's audit when
- You want breadth: a long checklist across technical SEO, content, links and performance in one run.
- You want page speed numbers. It pulls Lighthouse scores; EdenLens reports Google's real-visitor field data only when Google publishes a record for the site.
- You want to see the page as a rendering browser sees it, with a screenshot.
- You want a single number to track over time.
Choose EdenLens when
- You want to know whether the crawlers behind AI answers can read the page at all, as they receive it, before anything else.
- You want the business identity checked against the profiles the page links to, not only against its own markup.
- You want a short list in the order to fix it, each item with its evidence and the exact repair, rather than a score to interpret.
- You want a person to verify the wider picture afterwards, paid once rather than monthly.
Or use both
They overlap less than their names suggest. Run SEOmator for breadth and speed; run EdenLens to find out what a non-rendering crawler receives and whether the business can be identified. Neither promises rankings, and neither can tell you whether an assistant mentions you today.
