Get a Screaming Frog specialist working in your account

You already know what Screaming Frog can surface. The bottleneck is finding the time to run the crawls, interpret the exports, and turn the data into a prioritized fix list. Trusty Oak's fractional SEO specialists work directly inside your Screaming Frog setup, configuring crawls, pulling structured exports, and delivering findings your dev or content team can act on. This is not a managed SEO service. It is a dedicated specialist who does the Screaming Frog work you do not have bandwidth for.

What our team does with Screaming Frog

Concrete work our fractional specialists take on inside your Screaming Frog account. No vague promises.

Configure Custom Crawl Settings for Your Site Architecture

Before running a crawl, a specialist reviews your robots.txt, sitemap, and URL structure to set crawl scope, user-agent, and rendering mode correctly. Misconfigured crawls return misleading data, so this setup step is treated as a deliverable, not a formality. You receive a saved configuration file you can reuse or hand off.

Run Scheduled Crawls and Track Changes Over Time

We run crawls on a cadence you define (weekly, monthly, or post-deploy) and compare results against prior exports to flag new issues and confirm resolved ones. Screaming Frog's crawl comparison feature is used to surface regressions after site updates or migrations. You get a change log, not just a raw export.

Build and Maintain Custom Extraction Rules

Using Screaming Frog's custom extraction tab, we write XPath, CSS path, or regex rules to pull specific on-page elements your standard crawl does not capture by default, such as structured data fields, custom meta attributes, or CMS-specific markup. These rules are documented so they can be updated when your templates change. Deliverable is a saved extraction config and a sample output file.

Produce Prioritized Technical Audit Reports from Crawl Data

Raw Screaming Frog exports are filtered, sorted, and cross-referenced to produce a structured audit report organized by issue severity and estimated fix effort. We segment findings into categories like broken internal links, redirect chains, duplicate title tags, and missing canonical tags, then assign priority based on crawl depth and traffic data from a connected Google Search Console or Analytics property. You receive a report your team can assign and work from directly.

Integrate Screaming Frog Data with Google Sheets and Looker Studio

Crawl exports are imported into Google Sheets using structured templates that allow ongoing tracking without rebuilding the dataset each time. Where clients want a live dashboard, we connect cleaned export data to Looker Studio to visualize trends in crawl errors, index coverage, and page speed scores over time. This turns one-time audit data into a monitoring layer.

Support Site Migrations with Pre- and Post-Crawl Audits

For domain migrations, CMS changes, or HTTPS transitions, we run a full pre-migration crawl to document the existing URL inventory, redirect map, and on-page metadata baseline. After launch, we run a post-migration crawl and compare both exports to identify broken redirects, lost canonicals, or missing pages before they affect rankings. Deliverables include both crawl exports, a redirect validation report, and a flagged issue list for your dev team.

How Trusty Oak supports Screaming Frog workflows

How the Screaming Frog handoff works

During onboarding, your Client Success Manager reviews any existing Screaming Frog configuration, crawl history, or audit outputs you have on hand and uses that to map your priorities into a Strategic Delegation Plan. If you are starting from scratch, we document your site's crawl scope, authentication needs, and reporting cadence before the first crawl runs. Your specialist works inside your Screaming Frog license and your connected Google properties, not a shared environment, so you retain full ownership of every configuration and export. Each workflow is documented in a shared space you control, and nothing is pushed to your team without your review. As your site evolves, we update crawl configurations and extraction rules to match, so the work stays accurate rather than becoming stale.

Common Screaming Frog workflows we build

A few of the most common workflows our team has deployed with Screaming Frog.

1

Monthly crawl, export to Sheets, delta report to Slack

On a set date each month, we run a full crawl of the client's domain, export the filtered results into a structured Google Sheet, and post a delta summary (new issues, resolved issues, unchanged errors) to a designated Slack channel. The client gets a consistent signal without opening Screaming Frog themselves.

2

Post-deploy crawl, redirect validation, dev ticket creation

After a site update or deployment, we run a targeted crawl scoped to affected URL paths, validate that redirect rules are resolving correctly, and log any broken chains or 404s as tickets in Linear, Jira, or Asana with the affected URLs and expected behavior documented.

3

Crawl export, Search Console join, orphaned page report

We export the full crawl URL list and join it against a Google Search Console index coverage export in Google Sheets to identify pages that are crawlable but not indexed, or indexed but not internally linked. The result is a segmented orphaned page report with recommended actions for each segment.

4

Custom extraction crawl, structured data audit, fix brief

Using Screaming Frog's custom extraction tab, we crawl the site targeting schema markup fields (such as Product, Article, or FAQ schema) and export the results into a validation sheet checked against Google's structured data requirements. Any missing or malformed fields are documented in a fix brief formatted for a developer or content editor.

5

Pre-migration URL inventory, redirect map build, post-launch validation

Before a domain or CMS migration, we crawl the existing site to produce a complete URL inventory with status codes, title tags, and canonical URLs. We use that inventory to build or validate the client's redirect map, then run a post-launch crawl to confirm each redirect resolves correctly and flag any chains longer than one hop.

Frequently asked questions

We work inside your Screaming Frog license so that all saved configurations, crawl history, and custom extraction rules stay in your account when the engagement ends. If you do not yet have a license, we can walk you through setup during onboarding, but the account is always owned and controlled by you.
Most clients set a recurring crawl cadence (monthly is common) and use their monthly hour budget to cover the crawl, export processing, and a delta report. The scope of ongoing work is defined during onboarding and can be adjusted month to month. Hours that are not used roll over, so a lighter month does not result in lost budget.
Screaming Frog is well-suited for site-level technical audits, redirect validation, and custom on-page extraction at scale. If your primary need is ongoing rank tracking or keyword research, tools like Ahrefs or Semrush are a better fit and we support those as well. If you are not sure which tool matches your goal, that is a conversation we have during the discovery call before any work begins.
Yes. If you have an existing export, a specialist can work from that file to produce a prioritized audit report without re-running the crawl. This is a common starting point for clients who have data but have not had time to act on it. Pricing is the same: Specialists bill at $50 per hour against your monthly talent budget.
After the discovery call, onboarding typically takes one to two weeks, which includes matching you with a specialist and completing the Strategic Delegation Plan. The one-time onboarding fee is $300, and the monthly talent budget starts at $1,000. Most clients have their first crawl delivered within the first two weeks of the engagement.
