How RankDebug differs
Cause Tied to Deploys
Every release is recorded and followed by a check and a crawl. New problems are matched to the changed files and signals that could explain them.
Clicks at Stake
Findings and opportunities are ranked by the Search Console clicks of the pages they affect, so the list is already in priority order.
Permanent History
Search Console keeps 16 months. We backfill what it has and keep every day after that, so slow declines can be traced to their start.
Which to choose
Choose RankDebug if
- You own the site and ship to it often
- You want to know what changed and when
- You want findings ordered by clicks
Choose Sitebulb if
- You run audits for clients
- You want explained hints for every issue type
- You prefer a desktop tool
RankDebug vs Sitebulb: questions
Do you explain how to fix each issue?
Each finding says what was found and where. For the reasoning, ask the agent, or request a written report from our team.
Can we use both?
Yes. Sitebulb for periodic deep audits and us for monitoring between them is a sensible split.
