Question 1

What are TryFormatter SEO tools?

Accepted Answer

TryFormatter SEO tools are a suite of technical, search appearance, crawling, indexing, and content planning utilities designed for website owners, content editors, developers, and search marketers.

Question 2

Are the SEO tools free?

Accepted Answer

Yes, all tools within the SEO Studio are completely free to use with no hidden subscription fees, paywalls, or feature limitations.

Question 3

Do the tools require signup?

Accepted Answer

No. You can use any TryFormatter SEO tool without creating an account or providing an email address.

Question 4

Do all SEO tools run entirely in the browser?

Accepted Answer

Many text-based tools (like the Meta Tag Generator, Schema Builder, or Tone Analyzer) process data locally. However, tools that require fetching public webpage HTML or checking remote HTTP headers (like the SEO Audit Tool, Broken Link Checker, or Redirect Checker) send requests through a server-side route because of browser cross-origin limits.

Question 5

What is the difference between the SEO Audit Tool and SEO Report Generator?

Accepted Answer

The SEO Audit Tool is an interactive dashboard built for direct optimization work, offering prioritized issue tabs and check statuses. The SEO Report Generator is built to analyze public pages and generate clean, exportable PDF documents suitable for sharing with clients or developers.

Question 6

Can I check broken links?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The Broken Link Checker scans a webpage and crawls internal links up to a configured limit to identify working, redirected, broken, restricted, rate-limited, or timed-out destinations.

Question 7

Can I generate JSON-LD structured data?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The JSON-LD Schema Generator provides a visual form builder to create valid structured data markup for Article, FAQ, Local Business, Product, How-To, and Video types.

Question 8

Does structured data guarantee rich results?

Accepted Answer

No. Valid JSON-LD markup helps search engines understand page details, but Google determines rich snippet displays dynamically based on search context and relevancy rules.

Question 9

Can I create robots.txt and XML sitemap files?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The Robots.txt Generator constructs crawler access rules, and the XML Sitemap Generator validates lists of URLs to create search-engine-ready sitemap.xml files.

Question 10

Does llms.txt guarantee AI citations?

Accepted Answer

No. The llms.txt file is an emerging, optional markdown convention to help AI systems map website contents, but it does not guarantee inclusion or references in LLM search answers.

Question 11

Can these tools guarantee better Google rankings?

Accepted Answer

No. These tools identify technical errors, metadata gaps, and code configuration issues to help you optimize pages, but they cannot guarantee search engine indexing, traffic, or specific rankings.

Question 12

Can I audit private or password-protected pages?

Accepted Answer

No. Since URL-based audit tools retrieve public webpage HTML, they cannot access pages behind logins, authenticated dashboards, staging setups, or private local networks.

Question 13

Which tool should I use first?

Accepted Answer

We recommend starting with the SEO Audit Tool. It runs a broad scan of metadata, heading hierarchies, images, links, and structured data, identifying which technical checks require immediate attention.

Question 14

Are entered website URLs stored?

Accepted Answer

No. TryFormatter does not log, track, or save the URLs you enter or the HTML analyzed during audits. Data is processed temporarily to perform the requested check and is cleared upon tab closure.

Question 15

Can I use these tools for client websites?

Accepted Answer

Yes. All utilities, sitemap tools, and PDF reports generated by the SEO Studio can be used freely for auditing and maintaining client domains.
