Mistake #2: Ignoring the Site Auditor After Initial Setup
❌ Wrong: Running one audit at the start and never scheduling recurring scans.
✅ Right: Schedule automated audits weekly or monthly so new technical issues are caught before they affect rankings.
Mistake #3: Building Reports Manually Instead of Automating
❌ Wrong: Manually exporting and recreating reports each month for every client.

Raven Tools Troubleshooting
Problem: Google Analytics data is not showing in the dashboard
Cause: The integration was not fully authorized, or the wrong property was selected.
Consertar: Go to Campaign Settings → Integrations, disconnect Google Analytics, and reconnect using the correct Google account. Make sure you select the right property and reporting view.
Problem: SERP Tracker is showing outdated or incorrect rankings
Cause: Rank checks may not have refreshed recently, or a different search engine location is configured.
Consertar: Manually trigger a rank check from inside the SERP Tracker. Confirm your target search engine and location settings match your intended audience.
Problem: Site Auditor scan is not completing
Cause: Very large sites or sites with server-side blocking may cause the crawler to time out.
Consertar: Limit the crawl depth or the number of pages per scan in the auditor settings. Ensure your robots.txt file is not blocking Raven Tools’ crawler user agent.
📌 Observação: If none of these fix your issue, contact Raven Tools support via their help center at raventools.com.
