Limitations
What this product is not
This list is part of the product. If it is written here, the limitation is real.

Crawling
- We do not crawl like Google. We do not have crawl budget, full JavaScript rendering or real index data.
- A crawl is a sample. Sites larger than the plan limit are not fully covered.
- Pages behind authentication or a paywall are not crawled.
- iframes, shadow DOM and heavily JavaScript-rendered content may be incomplete.
Indexing and ranking
- Crawling is not indexing. We cannot guarantee that a page is indexed.
- Indexing is not ranking. Search Health is not a ranking forecast.
- Real ranking data requires Google Search Console or an authorized provider connection.
Search volume and keywords
- Search volume and difficulty stay empty until an authorized provider is connected, and are never invented.
- Opportunity score is a transparent heuristic over site content, not market demand.
- Clustering uses token overlap and can miss some semantic relationships.
AI and GEO
- Without an authorized API key, no AI answer is recorded or simulated; the state is "not measured".
- AI answers are non-deterministic and personalized; one observation is not a ranking or a guarantee.
- We do not guarantee citation, mention or recommendation by any system.
- llms.txt is an emerging convention and does not give guaranteed control over models.
Content
- Without an AI key, output is a structured scaffold, not publish-ready prose.
- With an AI key, models can be wrong; [VERIFY] markers must be resolved by a human.
- Originality checks use n-gram overlap and do not prove plagiarism.
- Content quality is not a guarantee of rankings or traffic.
Integrations and payments
- WordPress, Shopify and REST require your own valid, authorized credentials.
- Google Search Console/GA4 require a server-side OAuth client and your explicit consent.
- Real payments require Stripe keys and your approval; mock mode moves no money.
- Payment eligibility depends on country, business type and provider approval.
Governing principle
When a measurement is not possible, we write "not measured". When we have no data, the column stays empty. When there is no guarantee, we do not imply one.
