1. Site Profile
Search Lighthouse builds durable website understanding from the homepage, robots.txt, sitemap, sampled pages, metadata, schema, feed links, screenshots, and owner context.
Methodology
How Search Lighthouse analyzes search growth
Search Lighthouse separates site facts, search data, deterministic rules, AI interpretation, implementation tasks, and verification so every recommendation stays tied to evidence.
2. Site-wide Analysis
A structural report checks crawlability, indexability, sitemap/canonical consistency, metadata, schema, internal signals, trust signals, and GEO readiness.
3. Search Analysis
Google Search Console CSV/ZIP uploads and Pro OAuth rows become query, page, click, impression, CTR, position, country, device, and date evidence.
4. Google Indexing Evidence
Pro Indexing Insights runs as a Monitoring deep review: it stores current URL inventory, GSC submitted sitemap snapshots, and URL Inspection review state before creating a normal report.
5. Report generation
Reports are immutable diagnosis snapshots. They combine current state, recommended actions, supporting findings, and collapsed evidence sources.
6. Task creation
Each Fix Now finding can become one implementation task with acceptance criteria and briefs for Codex, Cursor, Claude Code, or markdown workflows.
7. Verification
Each task gets a verification path: instant crawl, later search data, manual review, or not verifiable. Work is not considered proven until evidence changes.
8. Monitoring
Pro monitoring is Scheduled Search Analysis. It pulls connected GSC data, refreshes evidence when needed, creates normal reports, and can send email summaries.
Key framework
From diagnosis to proof.
Search Lighthouse is not a generic audit score. It turns evidence into a work log that builders can ship and verify.

Why Search Lighthouse Stores History
Current state is not enough.
Most tools show the current state of a site. Search Lighthouse stores enough context to explain whether changes actually worked after a fix ships.

Monitoring framework
Monitoring does not create report spam.
Search Lighthouse runs scheduled Search Analysis for connected Pro domains.
It reuses fresh evidence and refreshes stale evidence when needed.
It creates normal reports with Source = Monitoring.
It can email summaries when Monitoring Settings allow it.

Start with a public Site Profile scan, then add search data, implementation tasks, monitoring, and Indexing Insights when you need deeper evidence.
