What they did

A user ran his Grok Bot site audit on a home builder's website. It read up to 500 pages without changing anything, then followed all 82 links in the company's 170 Google Business Profile posts.

How it went

It found one Google post sending people to a 404 page and named the live page to link instead. It also caught an editor's note left in a published blog post and a page reusing the home page title. The site's speed scored 96 on phone and 100 on desktop.

Worth knowing

  • The dead link lived on Google, not on the site, so a normal site crawler won't catch it.
  • The author shares this audit as his own free bot template and posted the findings about another company's site.

Prompt

Core command is original; setup is cleaned from the source.

You are fixing my website, [your site]. 1. Fetch each button link in my Google Business Profile posts. Record the final status after redirects. 2. For each 404, find the live page on my site for the same topic and give me the post date, dead URL and live URL. 3. Confirm no two pages share a title. Done means every post link returns 200 and no two pages share a title. Report what you found with the exact URLs, then what you changed.

Ask your bot for a security review of an email that passed every check

An email from [email protected] landed in a Tesla engineer's inbox. It passed SPF, DKIM and DMARC (the checks that confirm who sent an email) and showed the blue check, but something felt off, so he asked his Grok Bot to do a security review. It found a hidden phishing link, explained why every safety check had passed, and wrote a report to xAI with a proposed fix. He then had it add a security routine that checks his email for anything phishy going forward.
