WooRank
WooRank scans a website you point it at against on-page, technical, and marketing checklist items, then hands back a single score with prioritized fixes, alongside keyword tracking and Core Web Vitals monitoring. It's built for agencies and marketers who want a shareable client report and lead-generation tooling more than a deep technical crawl.
Scoring a single site against a checklist of on-page factors and pulling a free Core Web Vitals score from Google's PageSpeed Insights API is a well-known, buildable pattern — what's harder to match is the ongoing keyword-position history, white-label report branding, and embeddable lead-gen widgets WooRank builds for agencies reselling the reports to clients.
What you lose building it yourself
- ✕Keyword-position history tracked automatically over time
- ✕White-label PDF reports and an embeddable lead-gen widget
- ✕Core Web Vitals and uptime monitoring refreshed automatically each week
- ✕The 'Assistant' prioritized-fix feedback layer
Why people still pay
A one-off script can score a single site once; WooRank's actual value for its target buyer — agencies — is packaging that into a repeatable weekly report with keyword history, white-label branding, and a lead-gen widget they can put on their own site, none of which a single script maintains on its own.
A SINGLE-SITE AUDIT SCRIPT
An AI coding tool can build a script that crawls a handful of pages on one site, checks common on-page factors, and pulls a free Core Web Vitals score from Google's PageSpeed Insights API — a realistic weekend build. Matching WooRank's ongoing keyword-position tracking, white-label report branding, and embeddable lead-gen widgets for agencies is a bigger, ongoing undertaking.
StackPython + requests/BeautifulSoup (or Playwright for JS-heavy pages) for the crawl · Google PageSpeed Insights API (free) for Core Web Vitals · Jinja2 + WeasyPrint (or a spreadsheet template) to render the exported report.
Build a Python script that takes a homepage URL and crawls up to 50 same-domain internal pages (respect robots.txt, 1s delay between requests). For each page, check: title tag length and presence, meta description presence, H1 count, image alt-text coverage, and broken internal links (4xx/5xx). Call Google's free PageSpeed Insights API for the homepage to pull its Core Web Vitals scores. Combine all checks into a single 0-100 score per page using a simple weighted rule (e.g. missing title = -10 points), and export one PDF or HTML report summarizing the site's overall score and its worst-offending pages.

Free alternative: SEOnaut — a self-hosted, open-source technical SEO crawler that covers on-page auditing for free; nothing free replicates WooRank's keyword tracking, white-label PDF branding, or embeddable lead-gen widget, which is what the subscription is actually paying for
QUESTIONS
Does WooRank check backlinks or maintain a keyword database like Ahrefs or Semrush?
No — the pricing page doesn't list backlink checking as a feature on any plan, and keyword tracking is scoped to positions you choose to track, not a searchable database of every domain's rankings.
Is there a free version?
No permanent free tier — WooRank's pricing page offers a 3-day free trial on its paid plans, after which it requires a Pro, Premium, or Enterprise subscription.
What is WooRank's 'Assistant' feature?
A feedback panel inside the dashboard that surfaces prioritized fixes and Core Web Vitals results alongside the site score — it's part of the automated scoring, not a conversational AI assistant.
