For agencies & directors
How Agencies Use Direbase
Audit the prospect, attach the PDF
Direbase is an SEO audit tool that lets web agencies and directors audit a client's or prospect's site from just its URL and use the results as evidence in a proposal. You can try 3 audits for free without signing up, and the PDF report you attach to a proposal is available on the Entry plan (¥980/month) and above.
Showing which items scored what, and where to start fixing, on a single document makes a proposal far more concrete than saying "your SEO looks weak." This page walks through the flow from auditing a prospect's site to attaching the report to your proposal, with links to the tools you use.
How it works
Four steps to a proposal-ready report
01
Audit the prospect's URL
Enter the URL of the prospect's homepage or key pages and run an SEO check. Direbase scores the page out of 100 (up to 83 on the free plan) based on 45 items across four categories — structured data, basic SEO, content, and technical SEO — and shows what is missing item by item. To see whether the page is structured to be cited by AI search, run the AIO Readiness Check as well.
Site-wide diagnosis, which audits multiple pages at once, is available on Entry and above (up to 10 pages on Entry).
02
Compare with competitors
Put the prospect next to competitors in the same industry or area and look at the score gap by category. Showing "competitors cover this item, but your site doesn't" makes the reason to fix it easy to understand.
Competitor comparison is available on Basic and above (3 sites at once; 6 on Pro).
03
Export as a PDF
Use "Export PDF Report" on the SEO check results screen to export the results as an A4 report. It contains a cover, an executive summary, detailed check items, and Core Web Vitals, so you can attach it to your proposal as is. Past audits can also be exported from your dashboard history.
The PDF report is available on Entry and above. On Pro you can remove our branding and add your own company name and logo.
04
Attach it and show how to fix
Attach the PDF to your proposal and explain the priorities, starting from the lowest-scoring items. For JSON-LD, meta tags, and similar items, the audit results also give you ready-to-paste fix code, so you can show not only what to fix but how. After the work is done, audit the same URL again and use the score change in your report.
Fix code covers the top item on Free (after free sign-up), the top 2 on Entry, and every item on Basic and Pro.

Notes
Things to keep in mind in proposals
- The score shows how closely a page's implementation follows Google's recommendations. It does not promise rankings or traffic, so present it in proposals as evidence of implementation gaps.
- Direbase audits the page as it is published at the moment you enter the URL. If the site has changed before your proposal, audit it again before using the results.
- Whether to name competitor sites in a proposal is your call, depending on your relationship with the prospect.
