How Local SEO On-Page Checker Works? ↓
🏠 The Home Dashboard – Your Central Hub
The Traffic Torch Dashboard is your single point of control. From here you can:
- Run any of our 15+ audit tools – simply enter a URL and pick the tool you need (including this Local SEO tool).
- View your Google Analytics 4 and Search Console data – connect your accounts to see real‑time metrics, trends, top content, and traffic sources.
- Access your audit history – every scan is saved, so you can revisit, re‑run, or share past reports.
- Ask Traffic Torch AI – get instant, context‑aware advice on any audit result, directly from the dashboard.
Everything is built for speed and privacy – your data stays local, and we never store your analytics credentials.
📊 Google Analytics 4 & Search Console
Connect your GA4 and GSC properties once, and the dashboard automatically pulls in:
- Key metrics – sessions, users, pageviews, conversion rate, clicks, impressions, CTR, and average position.
- Trend charts – visualise daily performance for any date range (7, 14, 30 days, or custom for Enterprise).
- Top content & converting pages – see which pages drive the most traffic and conversions.
- Traffic sources, device breakdown, and geographic data – understand where your visitors come from.
- Real‑time view (Enterprise) – see active users and events as they happen.
All data is cached for performance, and you can refresh at any time. For guest users, we provide demo data so you can explore the interface without connecting an account.
📋 Report Dashboard – Your Audit History
Every audit you run is automatically saved to your Audit History. From there you can:
- Review past results – quickly see the tool used, URL, and timestamp.
- Re‑run any audit – click “Scan” to re‑evaluate the same URL with the same tool.
- Copy the URL – share the audit link with team members or clients.
- Delete audits – keep your history clean.
For Pro and Enterprise users, the history is stored in the cloud and syncs across devices. Free users get local storage with a 5‑audit limit.

The AI uses the latest LLM technology to interpret your audit data and provide clear, step‑by‑step guidance. It’s like having a senior SEO consultant on your team – always available.
* The AI assistant is a beta feature – your feedback helps us improve it.
The Three Pillars of Traffic Torch
All our tools are built around three core principles – UX Health, SEO Intent, and AI Search (AEO). This tool focuses on the second pillar (SEO Intent) with a local twist, but the dashboard brings all three together.
UX Health
Readability, navigation, accessibility, mobile/PWA readiness, and performance proxies. Shows where users get stuck or leave.
SEO Intent
E‑E‑A‑T signals (Experience, Expertise, Authoritativeness, Trustworthiness), content depth, readability, and schema markup – aligns your content with search intent. Local SEO is a specialised subset of this pillar.
AI Search (AEO)
Answerability, structured data, EEAT, scannability, conversational tone, originality, and anti‑AI safety – optimised for AI‑powered search engines (Perplexity, Gemini, ChatGPT).
