Jobs where the tab is already open
Open-Tab SEO fits the moment you are staring at a page and need on-page truth — not a crawl of 40,000 URLs. Pagehand is free forever; the jobs below are the ones we built the Score for.
Before you hit publish
Staging or CMS preview is open. Run Audit. Fix title length, missing H1, thin copy, or broken OG image before the URL hits Search Console. Export the Markdown report into the PR or Notion ticket. Related: title & meta check.
Competitor spot-check (one URL, not a crawl)
You opened a competitor’s landing page. You want density, H1, schema types, and internal-link count — not their whole backlink graph. Paste-URL suites make you wait for a crawl credit. Open-Tab SEO is instant and free. Related: keyword density.
Freelance / agency QA handoff
Client sends “please check this page.” You open it, copy the Pagehand Score card into Slack, and attach critical issues. No seat license to justify on the invoice. Pledge: free forever.
Schema sanity on the live DOM
JSON-LD often breaks after a theme update. The Schema tab lists @types and flags parse errors on the rendered document — including tags injected by tag managers. Guide: schema check.
Wrong job
Whole-site crawls, rank tracking, and backlink graphs are out of scope. We do not pretend those live behind a Pro button. Compare scopes on Compare.
