Scoring one page at a time tells you about that page. A site-wide audit tells you where your site as a whole is losing ground, and which handful of fixes would lift the most pages at once. TamRank scores every page you let it, puts them in one list, and lets you sort and filter that list until the work is obvious. This page shows how to run one and what to do with the result.
In short
- Go to TamRank → SEO Audit.
- Run the bulk audit to score everything. On a large site this takes a few minutes.
- Use the filters to find the pages that are both weak and worth fixing.
- Export to CSV if you want to plan the work outside WordPress.
Running the audit
Open TamRank → SEO Audit and start the bulk scan. TamRank works through your content in batches so it does not overload your server, which means a large site takes several passes. Leave the page open until it reports that it is finished.
The audit covers the post types you have enabled for analysis. If a content type is missing from the results, that is where to look first, not a fault in the scan. Pages set to noindex are left out on purpose, since the score is about content you want found.
You only need the full scan occasionally: after a migration, after a bulk content change, or when you want a fresh baseline. Individual pages re-score as you edit and save them.
Reading the results
The audit opens on an overview: your average score, and how your pages fall across the four bands.
- Excellent, 80 to 100
- Good, 60 to 79
- Needs attention, 40 to 59
- Improve, 0 to 39
Those bands are the useful part, more than the average. An average of 62 made of pages that are all around 62 is a very different site from one where half your pages are excellent and the other half are at 30. The filters let you pull out one band at a time, which is how you find the second case.
Each page in the list carries its score, and the score itself breaks into the same two parts as everywhere else in TamRank: your meta, and your content. How that is calculated is explained in How your SEO score works.
What is free and what is PRO
The audit is not a PRO feature. On the free plan you get the full scan across your site, the overview with its filters, a reset, and CSV export. That is enough to find your weak pages and work through them.
PRO adds the layer above that: the per-page breakdown expanded in place so you can read every failed check without opening the page, a bulk meta editor for fixing titles and descriptions across many pages at once, and a shareable SEO report. Those are about doing the work faster and reporting on it, rather than about seeing more.
Turning the list into work
A list of 400 scored pages is not a plan. Three filters turn it into one.
- Start where traffic already is. A page at 55 that gets visits is worth ten pages at 40 that get none. Your Search Console data on the dashboard tells you which is which. Improving a page nobody visits improves nothing.
- Take the Good band before the Improve band. A page at 65 usually needs a title and a description, which is ten minutes. A page at 25 usually needs rewriting, which is an afternoon. Do the ten-minute ones first and the average moves further.
- Look for the repeated fault. If two hundred pages are all missing a meta description, that is one decision, not two hundred tasks. Patterns across the list are worth more than any individual score.
Export to CSV when you want to sort and slice this outside WordPress, or hand a list to whoever is writing.
Tip: not every page deserves a score you care about
Tag archives, thin category pages, an old announcement, a thank-you page after a form. They will all score badly, and they should. They are not trying to rank.
The temptation with a site-wide list is to treat every low score as a task, which turns a useful diagnostic into a very long to-do list that never ends and never earns anything. Decide which pages actually matter, which is usually a smaller number than you expect, and let the rest sit at 40. If a page genuinely should not be found, set it to noindex and it drops out of the average entirely, which is the honest way to clean up the number.
Troubleshooting
The audit shows no pages. Run the bulk scan; the list is built from saved scores, so before the first scan there is nothing to show.
A content type is missing. It is probably switched off for analysis under TamRank → Settings. Sitemap membership and analysis are separate settings, so check the right one.
The scan stops partway. It works in batches and a large site needs several. Keep the page open until it reports it is done.
A score here differs from the one in the editor. The audit reads the last saved score. The metabox recalculates live as you type. Save the page, and they agree.
My average will not move. Check what is dragging it. A large set of archive or utility pages scoring in the 30s holds an average down no matter how good your real content is.
Frequently asked questions
Is the site-wide audit free?
Yes. The scan, the overview, the filters and CSV export are on the free plan. PRO adds the per-page breakdown, the bulk meta editor and a shareable report.
How often should I run it?
After a migration or a bulk change, and otherwise occasionally. Individual pages re-score when you edit them.
Does the audit change anything on my site?
No. It reads and scores. Every change is one you make.
Why are some pages missing?
Pages set to noindex and post types excluded from analysis are left out deliberately.
What is a good average?
There is no target worth chasing. Read the bands and the pages that earn you something, not the single number.
