What does Lemwatch monitor?

Lemwatch runs 20+ automated checks per site: uptime, response time, SSL/TLS expiry, domain expiry, DNS changes, sitemap health, broken links, content changes, SEO audits, mobile usability, security headers, and more.

Yes. The free tier monitors up to 5 sites. Pro is $19/month for 50 sites and Agency is $59/month for 100 sites, both with full feature access.

How is Lemwatch different from UptimeRobot or Pingdom?

Lemwatch bundles uptime, change detection, SEO audits, security scans, and a public API in one platform — features competitors charge separately for. It also includes team workspaces, white-labelled status pages, and a webhook system out of the box.

Does Lemwatch send alerts?

Yes. Lemwatch supports email, browser push, webhooks, and per-site notification routing so the right person hears about the right incident.

Is there a public API?

Yes. Pro and Agency plans get a public REST API with webhooks for sites, checks, incidents, and reports.

What SEO factors does Lemwatch monitor?

Lemwatch monitors Google indexation status, meta tags (title, description, Open Graph, Twitter Cards), broken links, page structure, Core Web Vitals (which are SEO ranking factors), and content freshness.

How is the SEO score calculated?

Our SEO score combines multiple factors: meta tag completeness, page structure quality, link health, indexation status, and performance metrics. Each factor is weighted based on its SEO impact.

Can Lemwatch replace my SEO tools like Ahrefs or Semrush?

Lemwatch focuses on technical SEO monitoring and alerting—things that need continuous tracking. It complements but doesn't replace keyword research and competitive analysis tools like Ahrefs or Semrush.

How often does Lemwatch check SEO factors?

SEO audits run daily by default. Some factors like indexation are checked less frequently since they don't change as often. You can also trigger manual checks anytime.

Does Lemwatch track keyword rankings?

After you connect Google Search Console, Lemwatch shows the queries already driving impressions and clicks, together with CTR and average position. It is designed to flag meaningful ranking and indexation changes on your own sites; use dedicated research software when you need market-wide keyword discovery or competitor estimates.

How does broken link detection work?

Lemwatch crawls your site and checks all internal and external links. When a link returns a 404, 500, or other error code, we flag it so you can fix it before it affects user experience or SEO.

Can I monitor competitor SEO?

Currently, Lemwatch focuses on monitoring your own sites. For competitive analysis, we recommend combining Lemwatch with tools like Ahrefs or Semrush.

How does indexation monitoring work?

We fetch your robots.txt, walk your full sitemap (including nested sitemap indexes), and compare the discovered URL set against Google's index. You get an accurate indexed-page count and an alert if there's a meaningful drop, which often signals indexing problems or a manual action.

Why was my indexed-page count too low before?

Earlier versions only sampled a portion of large sitemaps, capping the count for sites with many sub-sitemaps. The crawler now follows the full sitemap tree, so the number you see matches what Google actually has access to.
