The output

Every page bucketed. Every rewrite briefed.

One score. Three buckets. Zero manual triage. The REWRITE queue arrives with an editorial brief ready to hand to Sage’s AI writer or your editor.

KEEP
8.0 – 10.0
Already citing well. Monitor + defend. Sage watches citation velocity and alerts you on drops.
REWRITE
5.0 – 7.9
Highest ROI band. Median 3× citation lift after refresh. Auto-brief attached.
KILL
0 – 4.9
Not salvageable. Auto 410 or 301 to canonical peer — removes indexing drag from your domain.

FAQ

Common questions, plain answers.

How often should I audit?

Monthly rescoring catches drift — pages that were KEEP in April can drop into REWRITE by July. Sage runs it automatically on Agency+.

Does it cost credits?

Included in your plan up to your cap. Pages beyond that bill at $0.015/page. A 500-article library is under $7.50 to fully rescan.

Can I audit competitor domains?

Yes — point Sage at any public sitemap. Included on Agency Pro; overage priced per page.

What if I disagree with a bucket?

Override any bucket manually. Sage learns from overrides — after 20 corrections, the composite weights adjust to your editorial priorities.
