Show HN: Topical.so - structural SEO audits for AI-generated blogs

3 pointsadriaanb7 comments

Hi HN,

I built Topical.so to audit structural SEO issues on (AI-generated) blogs.

It surfaces things like keyword cannibalization, weak internal linking, thin content, and topical clustering, etc.

Sample report: https://reports.topical.so/profilespider-com-lj519xw6iyv9krk...

I'm happy to run it on any blog for free. Share your blog in the comments, or submit it through the website: https://topical.so

Does it cover any webpage? I have a AI-generated SEO webpage and wondering how good or bad it's in terms of SEO: https://crafto.ai/features/linkedin-carousel-generator

It works better with editorial content, like blogs, guides, etc.

Do you want me to run it on your site?

Yes please! Or should I submit it on your website (with my email) so I can get a report?

Btw given the increasing number of AI website builders, you could consider expanding this tool to any webpage, just my 2 cents.

Submitted through your website anyway. I can see the value of this tool given the explosive growth of AI-generated content.

Here it is! I front-run you a bit :)

Thanks for front-running it! It is mostly spot-on - as a solo builder who recently spent 2 days learning SEO and iterating/expanding my website from a single landing page, your report caught many of the issues I am aware of (thin content, some dup pages, missing/inaccurate metadata, H1, need better backlinks, etc), as well as things I haven't fully learned (content gaps and cluster). This would've easily saved me a good amount of those 2 days as a beginner.

It seems the "how to improve" part is mostly based on my current website structure (which is fair). What I'm personally doing now is looking more into the specific area/keywords/competitors my site is in, and thinking about what content, keywords, blogs, or even formats (e.g., adding graphs, stats, quotes vs. plain text) need improvement. This part is obviously more manual, time-consuming, and domain-specific, but I'd consider paying for it if your tool offered this as a premium feature.

Perfect, I will send it to you when it is done! The ETA is 6 hours due to backlog.

Thanks for the tip! Technically, it works on every website, but I still need to review the results more thoroughly for full-site crawls. For pages with lots of content it works really well now.
