Crawlux launches Crypto SEO Grader, single 100-point score for any crypto domain

LONDON · APRIL 21, 2026

Crawlux today launches Crypto SEO Grader, a free tool that returns a single 0-100 score for any crypto domain. The Grader combines the methodology of the AI Citation Checker, Token Schema Tester, AEO Test and Web3 Robots.txt Checker into one consolidated metric, giving crypto teams a single number to track over time and benchmark against competitors.

The score breaks down across four weighted components. Technical SEO (25%): Core Web Vitals, indexability, internal linking and robots policy. Schema accuracy (25%): FinancialProduct schema validation across all token pages, NewsArticle and Article schema on content, structured data error checking. AI Visibility (30%): citation rate across 12 calibrated prompts, AEO vertical fit, AI bot policy compliance. Backlink health (20%): scoring under the Web3 Backlink Toxicity Rubric, Tier 1 source presence, audit firm citations.

Week-one data: 1,247 crypto sites ran through the Grader between April 14 and April 20, 2026. Median score: 38 out of 100. Distribution by decile: bottom 10% scored below 12. Bottom 25% scored below 22. Median 38. Top 25% scored above 56. Top 10% scored above 71. The top performer in the cohort scored 91 out of 100.

Vertical-specific patterns. Layer-1 chains scored highest as a category (median 51 of 100) due to mature documentation pipelines and strong developer ecosystem citations. DeFi lending protocols scored second (median 47) with strong FinancialProduct adoption. NFT marketplaces scored lowest (median 24) primarily due to missing FinancialProduct equivalent schema patterns and weak AI bot policy. Pre-launch protocols scored 14 to 22 median, anchoring the bottom of the distribution.

The Grader is free with no signup at crawlux.com/free-tools/crypto-seo-grader. Each IP gets 10 audits per day at no cost. The score returns in 60 seconds median. Crawlux Pro subscribers get unlimited Grader runs plus weekly trend tracking with score-component diffs.

Beyond the score, the Grader returns the top 5 highest-impact fixes specific to the audited site, ranked by expected score lift. Teams that shipped all 5 recommendations in week one saw a median score improvement of 18 points (from 38 to 56) within 14 days post-audit. The fix-list specificity is the actual value of the tool; the headline score is the framing.

The Grader joins the free-tools suite at crawlux.com/free-tools alongside the AI Citation Checker, Token Schema Tester, AEO Test and Web3 Robots.txt Checker. The five tools share methodology with the paid Crawlux Pro audit, which runs all 23 analyzers in one consolidated report rather than the focused single-check format of each free tool.

For agencies and in-house teams, the single-score format unlocks a workflow that previously required cross-tool aggregation. Agencies can run the Grader against a prospect domain in 60 seconds. They screenshot the score breakdown and use it as the opening artifact in a sales conversation. In-house teams can track the score weekly and report it to executives without translating four separate tool outputs into a single narrative. The simplification matters most for non-SEO stakeholders (founders, CMOs, board members) who need a number to track, not a fix list to ship.

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.
