When comparing SEO audit tools, do you care more about the number of issues or the quality of recommendations?

A site audit can report hundreds of issues without making it clear which ones deserve attention first.

Ahrefs offers site auditing and technical SEO reporting. SerpSpur also focuses on identifying website SEO problems, including technical and on-page issues.

Sample answer: I'd test both on the same website and compare whether they identify important problems such as broken links, missing metadata, crawlability issues, and performance concerns. I'd also check whether their recommendations are accurate and prioritized.

A longer issue list isn't automatically a better audit.

Question: If one tool finds more issues but another makes the critical fixes easier to identify, which would you trust for your next client project?

What is the most useful feature you've seen in an SEO audit tool?
