Part 01 · Overview
Welcome
What it is, who it suits, its grades and the ten things to know first
2.4
GPA, above 41 of the 83 other technical SEO tools we grade
CrawlRaven is a web app that pulls in Google Search Console and GA4 data, keyword lists exported from tools such as Ahrefs or Semrush, and its own crawl of the site. From these it ranks content work, such as decaying pages, cannibalized queries and near-miss keywords, and keeps technical audit findings in a separate view sorted by severity. A remote MCP server lets AI assistants read the same data.
To get you started, here are 9 things to know about CrawlRaven, taken from its own pages and our grades.
- 1
Best for turning Search Console data into an SEO to-do list
There's no free plan, the audit's monthly page allowance isn't stated, and keyword imports and CSV exports wait for Pro and Agency.
- 2
Paid plans start at $29 a month
As its pricing page puts it: $29 per month for 1 website, billed monthly.
- 3
You can try it first
7-day free trial of everything in Pro on 1 website, no credit card required
- 4
It runs on Web
Web, with a browser extension too.
- 5
Search Console and GA4 in one place
Connects Search Console by OAuth and syncs queries, pages, clicks and positions daily, then weighs each page against its GA4 traffic and engagement.
- 6
Ranked content opportunities
Maps each keyword to the page that should rank and flags content gaps, cannibalization, runner-up keywords and pages losing clicks, each with a suggested next step.
- 7
200-point technical audit
Crawls the site for indexation, canonicals, Core Web Vitals, JavaScript rendering, HTTPS, redirects and structured data, with findings sorted by severity and search clicks.
- 8
A 2.4 GPA, above 41 of 83
That is against the other technical SEO tools we grade, on value, the free plan, features, ease of use and platforms.
- 9

The report card
Best for turning Search Console data into an SEO to-do list
CrawlRaven joins Search Console, GA4 and its own 200-point crawl into one ranked list of content and technical fixes, and AI assistants can read it over MCP. There's no free plan, the audit's monthly page allowance isn't stated, and keyword imports and CSV exports wait for Pro and Agency.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | B | Pro lifetime is $390 once for 3 fixed websites, under two years of this category's middle subscription. Monthly, Starter is $29 for 1 site, right at the middle, and Pro is $39 for 3. |
| Free plan and trial | C | No free plan, but the 7-day trial of Pro on 1 website needs no card. A free audit of up to 100 pages needs no account, and the Chrome side panel is free. |
| Features | C | Search Console and GA4 joined to keyword mapping, cannibalization and decay flags, a 200-point technical audit and MCP access. The gaps: no keyword research of its own, CSV exports only on Agency, and an audit page allowance the pricing page doesn't state. |
| Ease of use | C | No rating on record. You connect Search Console and GA4 by OAuth and let it sync and crawl before the ranked list means much. |
| Platforms and integrations | B | Web and a Chrome extension, with Search Console, GA4, Ahrefs and Semrush imports, and MCP for Claude, ChatGPT, Codex and Cursor. No desktop or phone app. |
An A is worth 4 points, a B 3, a C 2, a D 1 and an F nothing. The GPA is the average of the five.
Who CrawlRaven is for
- Fits if you're a consultant turning Search Console data into a weekly fix list
- Works for teams that want Claude or ChatGPT to read their SEO data over MCP
Who it is not for
- Skip it if you want a free plan, as there's only the 7-day trial and some free tools
- Watch out: audits run within a monthly page allowance the pricing page doesn't state
- Pricey if you need CSV exports, which are on Agency at $199 a month
- Tight if you buy a lifetime plan, which keeps its 3 or 20 sites with no swaps or add-ons
- Not for you if you need keyword research, as it imports lists from Ahrefs or Semrush instead

Keep it
Nothing CrawlRaven does is plain enough to make in a weekend. The 3 things listed below take a company.
It costs $348 a year.
What you could not
- A crawler that checks every page of a site.

- It plugs into other products, Google Search Console, Google Analytics 4 and Ahrefs among them.
What this rests on. CrawlRaven’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
