# Sitemap SEO audit – check every page in an XML sitemap

**Use case:** 

Paste a sitemap.xml (or a sitemap index or a site root) and audit the listed pages: title and meta description length, H1, canonical, noindex, hreflang, Open Graph, image alt text, word count, structured data, status codes and redirects, with a 0–100 SEO score and a prioritised issue list per page. Add a Google API key for Lighthouse and Core Web Vitals. Capped at 25 URLs per run.

## About this Actor

This example demonstrates how to use [Bulk PageSpeed & SEO Audit — Core Web Vitals & Lighthouse](https://apify.com/benelux-signals/bulk-pagespeed-seo-audit.md) with a specific input configuration.

## How to integrate an Actor?

This Task's input is already configured above. Use it as-is rather than inventing a new one.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For full API examples (JavaScript, Python, CLI, MCP, OpenAPI), see this Task's Actor page: https://apify.com/benelux-signals/bulk-pagespeed-seo-audit.md

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).
