  2. Click New Site Project (or Add Site) and enter your website’s homepage URL.

Follow the detailed steps below to complete the setup.

You just launched a gorgeous new website for your client. It looks amazing on desktop and mobile. The copy is punchy. The client is thrilled. Three months later, they call you, frustrated. Their traffic has flatlined, and they are not getting any leads.

You scramble to figure out what is wrong. You run a generic speed test and tell them to wait another month. But behind the scenes, their site is bleeding traffic. Broken links, missing meta tags, missing image alt text, and toxic backlinks are dragging their domain power into the basement. You are losing client trust fast because you do not have a clear picture of their technical SEO health.

You cannot scale an agency if your website builds are technically broken under the hood. HighLevel fixes this instantly with Site Projects and built-in SEO Audits. You can now monitor domain power, track organic traffic, and run deep, automated technical audits to fix broken SEO automatically with AI. Let us get your client sites healthy and ranking.

Ready to streamline this? Here is exactly how to do it in 60 seconds:

Part 1: Add the Site Project and Connect GSC

First, we need to get the website onto our radar and plug it into Google’s brain.

  1. Go to Sites > SEO > Site Projects.
  2. Click New Site Project (or Add Site) and enter your website’s homepage URL.
  3. Crucial Step: Click Connect Google Search Console. Sign in to your Google account and select the verified property for that domain. This instantly imports up to 10,000 real keywords, total clicks, and impressions directly from Google so you never have to guess what is driving traffic.

Part 2: Launch the Advanced Dashboard

Now let us look under the hood.

  1. Once the initial data fetches, you will see a high-level snapshot of your site’s Domain Power, Backlinks, and estimated Organic Traffic.
  2. For full control, click the Launch Advanced SEO button.
  3. This opens your detailed command center where you can navigate through the Overview, Organic Keywords, Backlinks, and Top Pages tabs to see exactly what is working and what is broken.

Part 3: Run a Full Site Audit

Stop manually hunting for broken links. Let the crawler do the work.

  1. Inside the advanced SEO interface, navigate to Site Audit and create a New Audit Project.
  2. Set your crawl preferences (like setting the max pages to crawl and excluding backend folders like /admin).
  3. Hit start. The system will crawl your entire site and generate a clear Site Health Score, categorizing every technical issue into Errors (critical), Warnings (moderate), and Notices (minor).
  4. Want to optimize a specific high-value landing page? Use the On-Page Audit tool. Enter the URL and target keyword, and the system will grade your content and technical SEO against the top-ranking competitors in your niche!

Part 4: Auto-Fix Issues with AI

This is where you save hours of manual labor.

  1. Navigate to AI Recommendations.
  2. The AI will present instant, automated fixes for the issues the audit uncovered.
  3. Review the suggestions and let the AI instantly rewrite broken title tags, generate missing meta descriptions, and fix missing image alt text with a single click. (Note: Review these fixes before applying to ensure they match your brand voice! Each fix consumes a small amount of your AI credit quota).

Running automated Site Audits ensures your client websites remain technically flawless, keeping their traffic growing and their retainers active.
