Audisto Hourly Monitoring Alert Triage (Delivery)

Audisto Hourly Monitoring Alert Triage (Delivery)

1. 01

   Open the Monitoring plan project and confirm hourly crawl scheduling is active

   The $199 monthly Monitoring plan is the only tier with hourly crawl scheduling and real-time critical alerts. If the client sits on the $99 Crawler plan with daily scheduling, escalate the plan question before promising alert response times in the retainer.

2. 02

   Pull the critical alert queue and sort by first-detected timestamp

   Triage oldest first. An alert that has sat unactioned for multiple hourly cycles is a delivery failure the client will eventually find in their own analytics.

3. 03

   Classify each alert against the 200 testing requirements configured for that crawl

   Separate regressions on existing tests (something broke) from new findings outside the current test set (something appeared). The first category is a fire; the second is a backlog item for the next review call.

4. 04

   Reproduce the flagged URL in a fresh crawl before touching the client's site

   Rendering and JavaScript execution differences can produce false positives on JS-heavy builds. Confirm the error survives a re-crawl with rendering enabled, then check whether the change came from the client's deploy or from a third-party script.

5. 05

   Log the confirmed issue with the affected URL pattern and the crawl timestamp

   Pattern-level logging matters because Audisto tests run against patterns, not single pages. One confirmed pattern failure usually means dozens of affected URLs the client has not seen yet.

6. 06

   Send the client a same-day note naming the pattern, the count of affected URLs, and the fix owner

   Keep it to the confirmed facts from the crawl. Agencies that report a critical alert within the same hourly cycle convert monitoring retainers into structural fix work far more easily than those that batch alerts into a monthly report.

7. 07

   Add or adjust a visual test in the test editor so the same regression trips an alert next time

   This is the step most agencies skip. Each triaged incident should leave the test suite stronger, otherwise the 200 testing requirements per crawl never get used to their full value.

8. 08

   Re-crawl after the client's fix ships and close the alert with the verification timestamp

   Do not close on the client's word. Close on a clean crawl result, and note the resolution in the monthly technical SEO health summary.
