Website monitoring for SEO agencies
Keep watch over client sites between scheduled crawls, without another per-project SaaS bill and without uploading the client list to a hosted crawler. TechDash runs on your computer, ranks incidents by severity, and can ping Slack, Teams or Discord.
The agency problem
You cannot manually click every important client URL after every release. You also cannot put a full crawl on every domain every morning. The gap in the middle is where accidental noindex, canonical and robots.txt changes live.
TechDash is SEO change monitoring software shaped for that gap: a desktop app, local data, and a licence that does not grow with headcount of sites.
A workflow that fits retainer work
- Add the key URLs. Homepages, money templates, legal pages, and anything that just launched.
- Baseline the checks. Let TechDash store the current indexability, canonicals, robots.txt and content signals.
- Review incidents by severity. Critical indexability first. Advisories can wait for the weekly slot.
- Verify fixes. Do not close the Slack thread until Check & Verify is clean.
Client data stays local
Crawl history, screenshots and the site list are not copied into a TechDash cloud account. That is a practical answer when a client asks where their URLs are stored. Details live in the local data help article.
Cost against per-project SaaS
If a hosted monitor charges per workspace or per 100 URLs, a ten-client roster becomes a budgeting exercise. TechDash is a one-off desktop licence. The constraint is the machine, not the price list. See no-subscription website monitoring.
Questions
Can I monitor client websites?
Yes. Give each site a friendly name, search by hostname, pause one client or pause everything from the tray. Crawl data stays on your machine.
How do I avoid drowning in noise?
Checks have Advisory, Warning and Critical severities. The Health Report ranks sites by weighted open issues so a noindex on a money page is not buried under title tweaks.
Can the team see alerts?
Desktop notifications stay on the machine running TechDash. Webhooks can send the same incidents to Slack, Microsoft Teams or Discord.
How does this compare to paying per client in SaaS?
Hosted monitors often add a project, workspace or URL pack when you onboard a client. TechDash is one licence and as many sites as the computer can handle.
Is there a client-ready health report?
The in-app Health Report is built for operators. Use it to decide who needs a call, then write the client note from the incident evidence. A polished PDF export is not the current product.
Buy the desktop licence. Keep the crawl data local.
One-off licence, 77 shipped checks, Slack/Teams/Discord alerts, and no monthly monitoring subscription. Current launch price: $89.50.
