Before you install anything

## Your first Feed comes from a crawl.

askbowtie reads your public pages in about a minute and flags broken links and images, dead outside links, slow pages, missing titles and a home page hidden from Google. It reads again every week.

### 3 pages link to a broken page

Visitors hit dead ends.

### Broken image on /recipes/dutch-oven-bread +1 page

Visitors see a gap where the picture should be.

### 2 pages respond slowly

Slow pages lose visitors before they read a word.

Demo data from kettlestone.com. Found by the crawl, before any install.

When you want more

## Add one line. Get the rest.

Traffic, conversions and errors start flowing into Feed and Explore, and Ask can answer over all of it.

Ask stays on your site

## It answers about your site, and nothing else.

Ask only uses your own data. It will not invent a number it does not have, and anything off topic gets a short no and a question about your site instead.

I only answer questions about your site. Want to know which pages lost traffic this week?

A note from Ben

## You can't improve what you can't measure.

I've said that for years. Most tools make measuring hard, and reading the numbers is often harder. So I rebuilt askbowtie to do the reading: it tells you what changed, and you ask when you want more.

Love it, hate it, or just aren't sure yet. Write to me at [support@askbowtie.com](mailto:support@askbowtie.com). I read every one.
