Crawlux opens private alpha for Web3 SEO audits

LONDON · FEBRUARY 24, 2026

Crawlux today opened its private alpha to crypto teams, agencies and founders building on Web3. The alpha is the first phase of a public launch planned for Q2 2026.

The product is an automated SEO audit tool built specifically for crypto, DeFi and blockchain projects. Generic audit tools misread crypto sites because they apply e-commerce assumptions to tokens and decentralized exchanges. Crawlux runs 23 specialized analyzers across 6 check groups built for Web3.

The audit covers technical SEO, YMYL and E-E-A-T for crypto finance, AI visibility testing across ChatGPT, Perplexity and Claude, FinancialProduct schema validation, backlink toxicity scoring tuned for crypto PBN patterns and competitor analysis across the top 20 sites in each vertical.

The release lands at the moment AI search starts to matter for crypto. AI engines now drive an estimated 9.2% of crypto product discovery, up from 1.4% a year prior. Sites that do not appear in AI citations lose top-of-funnel traffic before it ever reaches a search engine. Crawlux is the first audit infrastructure that scores Web3 sites against the AI-citation criteria specifically.

Alpha participants get full audits at no cost for the duration of the program. In return they provide methodology feedback, on-record case-study consent and access to their site analytics for benchmarking. The first 50 audits are reserved for protocols with live mainnet deployments and 10,000+ monthly visits. Applications close on March 24, 2026 or when 50 slots fill, whichever comes first.

After the alpha, Crawlux Pro launches publicly at $25 per audit. The free tier covers a basic audit including technical SEO, AI bot policy and on-page schema. A $49 Team tier adds multi-domain audits, shared workspaces and white-label PDF report exports for agency work. The audit methodology is published openly so other auditors can reproduce results with or without the Crawlux platform.

Pricing is one-time per audit, not subscription. Crawlux is a tool, not a SaaS dashboard. Teams run an audit, fix what surfaces, then re-audit when the site changes. This matches how crypto teams actually work: launch sprints, not steady-state marketing operations.

The alpha runs in three cohorts. 20 protocols in week one, 20 in week two and 10 in week three. Each cohort gets a 7-day audit-review-revise cycle. Crawlux scores the site against all 23 analyzers, delivers the report within 24 hours, then runs a fresh audit 7 days later to measure the score change. Cohort assignment goes by submission order within vertical buckets. Protocols with audited contracts and named founder profiles get priority assignment within their cohort.

Alpha applications open at crawlux.com/signup. Selection prioritizes audit diversity across DeFi, NFT, wallet, exchange and layer-1 verticals, with preference given to protocols that publish their site analytics.

Crawlux is the world's first automated SEO audit tool built for Web3, DeFi and blockchain. The platform runs 23 analyzers across 6 check groups including AI visibility testing across ChatGPT, Perplexity and Claude. Free tier available. Paid tiers from $25 per audit. More at crawlux.com.
