The Error Listed Doesn't Exist. Is This a False Positive?
If the Site Audit shows an error on your site that doesn’t actually exist, it’s likely a false positive. These can happen occasionally, and identifying them helps us improve Ubersuggest PRO by refining our algorithms to reduce such cases.
If you believe you’ve found a false positive, please share the details by answering the questions below. This will help us investigate and make the necessary improvements:
- What is the website URL you were analyzing in the Site Audit?
- What is the issue shown as a false positive?
- Please provide details that you consider necessary to better identify the issue.

How to Audit Specific URLs Instead of the Whole Site
Ubersuggest allows you to audit either your entire website or a single page (URL-based report). This helps you track progress and spot issues at both the site and page level.
Steps to audit a single page:
1. Open the Site Audit tool.
2. If you don’t have a project yet:
a. Enter the URL you want to audit. The tool will automatically detect it as a single-page audit.
b. If you enter a domain but want to analyze only one page, switch the option from Domain to URL.
Example: If you enter neilpatel.com but only want to audit that specific page, select URL instead of Domain.
3. If you already have a project:
a. Click the Pencil icon and enter the address you want to audit.
b. If you enter a URL, the Audit homepage option will be automatically checked.
c. If you enter a domain, but want to audit only the homepage, manually select the Audit homepage option.
With these options, you can easily choose whether to evaluate your entire site or focus on a specific page, depending on your SEO goals.
Site Audit will uncover SEO Issues on the URL you have crawled and organize them based on their SEO impact:
- All Issues — a list of all SEO issues uncovered.
- Critical Errors — the most impactful SEO errors.
- Warnings — less impactful SEO errors.
- Recommendations — least impactful SEO errors.
