Frequently asked questions
Everything about audits, pricing, crawling, and how Dascenda uses AI. Still stuck? Get in touch.
Getting started
What does Dascenda actually do?+
Enter a URL and get a growth score, your 3 highest-impact actions, copy-paste fixes for titles and meta descriptions, and a 4-week content plan. Every item includes implementation steps — it is a weekly growth sprint, not an SEO data dump.
Do I need any SEO knowledge to use it?+
No. Dascenda tells you exactly what to do in the next 10 minutes and why to come back next week. No keyword tables, rank tracking, or backlink dashboards.
How long does an audit take?+
Most audits finish in well under two minutes, depending on how many pages we read and how large the site is.
Growth moves
What is a growth move?+
A targeted step that closes a specific gap on your site — not a generic blog post. Each move shows what's weak, what you'll win, the content to ship, optional site-strengthening tasks, and (after you publish) Google click data from Search Console.
How do I measure if a move worked?+
When you ship a move, paste the live page URL. If Search Console is connected, we track clicks and impressions for that URL over time. New pages need a few weeks; data lags 2–3 days. Your growth score on re-audit is a fallback signal.
Which plans include growth moves?+
Starter: 1 move/week, auto-prioritized from audit gaps. Pro: up to 2/week, edit keywords, skip, and refresh flat moves. Free: ideas on audits only.
Does Dascenda publish to my site?+
No — you copy and publish in your CMS (~5 minutes). We measure after you confirm the live URL.
Pricing & plans
Is there a free plan?+
Yes. One audit per week on up to 8 pages — full sprint included: growth score, 3 priorities, copy-paste fixes, and 4-week plan.
What do paid plans add?+
More audits per month, more pages per crawl, full audit history, weekly growth moves that close audit gaps (Starter: 1/week, Pro: up to 2/week with control), and richer reports on Pro — not keyword databases or rank tracking.
Can I cancel anytime?+
Yes. You can manage or cancel your subscription at any time from the billing portal, and you keep access until the end of your current period.
Audits & crawling
How many pages do you crawl?+
We start at your homepage and follow internal links up to a per-plan limit. Free audits look at a single page; paid plans crawl more of the site for a fuller picture.
Do you respect robots.txt?+
Yes. The crawler honors robots.txt rules, applies timeouts and page limits, and skips duplicate URLs so it stays polite to your site.
What if an audit fails?+
Audits that fail show a clear status with the reason, and you can retry. A failed audit never silently counts against you.
AI & data
Which AI model powers the recommendations?+
Dascenda runs analysis through a configurable model layer. The recommendations are generated against a strict schema and validated before they are saved, so you always get structured, usable output.
What data do you store?+
We store your account email, the URLs you audit, the page data we crawl (titles, meta descriptions, headings, link counts), and the generated reports. See our Privacy Policy for the full picture.
Do you sell my data?+
No. We do not sell your data. See the Privacy Policy for how data is used and retained.
