"Northstar CRM is not mentioned. The answer names two larger competitors and cites public pricing pages."

after

"After schema, comparison copy, and proof pages shipped, Northstar CRM is named in 5 of 6 tracked buyer prompts."

Monitor your performance post-optimization.

Each scheduled run compares audit score, changed checks, buyer-prompt answers, citations, and competitor mentions against your shipped-change notes so you can see what moved after optimization.

Drop any URL in. No signup, no card, no install. First run is free.

step · 02

Get your report

priority-ranked findings

Crawlability, structured data, trust signals, UX, and AI answerability. Every finding includes the observed issue and a prioritized fix.

step · 03

Automate audits when ready

$ nms audit <url> --fail-on-score 70

Use the CLI, REST API, or MCP server when your team wants the audit in CI, agent workflows, or internal dashboards. The web report stays the default path.

§ for modern pipelines

Wire NM Signals into modern pipelines

Same engine as the web app, exposed as a REST API, a CLI, and an MCP server. Add deploy gates when they help, or call checks from Claude Desktop, Cursor, and internal tools.

Web report

Paste a URL, review the observed evidence and expected behavior, then generate implementation guidance when you need it.

02

CLI / CI

Run the same checks in GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, or any shell when deploy gating is useful.

03

API + MCP

Call audits from internal tools, Claude Desktop, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client.

§ faq

What does "AI-ready" mean?+

AI search engines like ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews crawl, parse, and summarize websites differently than traditional search. An AI-ready site makes its content easy for these systems to discover and accurately represent.

Is the audit really free?+

Yes. No signup needed. Guests get 1 AI readiness audit, 1 UX review, and 1 fix recommendation per day. Sign up free to unlock 3 fix recommendations per day (15/month). Premium gets 100 of each. No credit card to start.

What's included in the UX Quality Review?+

We capture a screenshot of your page and analyze layout, typography, color contrast, mobile-friendliness, and accessibility using computer vision.

How are industry benchmarks calculated?+

We continuously audit top-ranked websites across 20+ industries and compute percentile rankings so you can see where you stand.

Can I audit competitor sites?+

Absolutely. Enter any public URL to audit it, whether it's your own site, a competitor, or any page you're curious about.

Does it work with Claude Desktop, Cursor, or other AI clients?+

Yes. Premium subscribers get an MCP server at /api/mcp that exposes the audit engine as tools. Add it to Claude Desktop, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client and your AI agent can run audits and check quota directly. See /docs/mcp.
