SEO agencies
Screaming Frog is a crawl. RotSweep is the watchman between crawls.
SEO agencies already have a crawler. Screaming Frog, Sitebulb, the audit inside Ahrefs or Semrush. You run it, you export, you put broken internal links and redirect chains into a ticket. That is the right workflow for on-site hygiene.
What the crawl is for
A map of the site you control: status codes, redirect chains, titles, canonicals, the things a quarterly audit is supposed to find. Keep doing that. RotSweep is not a crawler and will not grow into one.
What happens in the six weeks between exports
Outbound links on money pages keep rotting. Merchants 301 deep links. Publishers leave resource round-ups untouched for a year. A cited source rewrites the paragraph your client quoted. None of that waits for the next crawl, and none of it necessarily 404s. A broken-link checker on a crawl you remember to run will not see the gap.
How agencies actually use this
One workspace per client, or one workspace with a project per client. Paste, CSV, or a page scan — sitemap scanning from Deep Sweep up. One digest email when something changed, to the people who can actually fix the links. Seats are not billed, on purpose: the developer or the content editor has to be allowed to receive the alert.
Deep Sweep at €25/month is the tier that includes content drift, 1,500 URLs and the sitemap scanner. Full Sweep is for large lists and hourly checks. Slack is not available yet; the digest is email. Compare plans.
EU hosting is not a footnote
We host in the EU, as a Greek company. For EU agencies that is a reason to pick us over a US change-detection tool, not a slogan. GDPR is the law we live under. VAT-compliant invoices are the default. How the company is run.
