Local SEO Toolkit — BYO DataForSEO Key

💡 Cost note: DataForSEO charges per request on your account. Live SERP calls are a few cents each; a 5×5 Maps grid is 25 calls. Start small, then scale up.

Website security scanner

The same scanner built for Pearce Studios, included in full: a graded A–F report covering 8 security-header checks (HSTS, CSP, clickjacking, MIME-sniffing, XSS, Referrer-Policy, Permissions-Policy, and cookie/session flags — the external-scan side of CSRF hardening), server information disclosure, TLS certificate details, platform & technology fingerprinting (CMS, frameworks, hosting, analytics), sitemap.xml & robots.txt, and email security — SPF, DMARC (with policy), DKIM across 14 common selectors, and MX. No DataForSEO key needed for this one, and it's SSRF-guarded: private/internal addresses are refused.

Website URL

ℹ️ An external scan can only see what a site shows the public internet. It can't test login-protected areas, real CSRF tokens inside forms, or server-side code — use it as a fast outside-in checkup, not a penetration test.
