Interweb. — app.interweb.media

User guide

Everything you need to get the most out of Interweb.

1. What is Interweb.?

Interweb. is an automated SEO platform that helps you understand what is holding your website back in search, gives you a prioritised list of fixes, and keeps you accountable through a gamified quest system.

At its core it does three things:

  • Audits your site on a technical and on-page level, scores it, and surfaces actionable fixes
  • Tracks your keywords, competitors, and Google Search Console data in one place
  • Motivates progress through The Nexus — a set of gamified quests that reward real SEO work with XP, levels, and credits

You do not need to know how to code or run Google Search Console reports. The platform translates raw crawl data into plain-language tasks.

2. Getting started

Create an account

  1. Go to app.interweb.media
  2. Click Sign up and enter your email address
  3. Choose a password or use the magic link option
  4. Complete the onboarding steps — you will receive 100 free credits on signup

The dashboard

Once logged in you land on the main dashboard. The left sidebar gives you access to:

  • Dashboard — overview of all your sites
  • Sites — manage individual sites
  • Growth — The Nexus quest hub
  • Account — settings, credits, badges

The top bar always shows your current credit balance, level, XP, and streak.

3. Adding your first site

  1. Go to Sites in the sidebar
  2. Click Add site
  3. Enter your domain (e.g. https://example.com) and a display name
  4. Click Save

After saving, the platform runs a quick site health check and takes you to your new site overview. To see the full issues list and prioritised fixes, run a crawl from the site overview.

A standard crawl covers up to 100 pages. A deep crawl covers up to 500 pages (costs 100 credits). You can add multiple sites — each is crawled and tracked independently.

4. Site overview

Navigate to a site by clicking it on the Sites page. The overview shows:

MetricWhat it means
Overall scoreComposite health score 0–100 across all categories
On-page scoreQuality of titles, meta descriptions, headings, and content
Technical scoreCrawlability, status codes, indexability, structured data
Local SEO scoreName/address/phone consistency, local schema markup
CWV scoreCore Web Vitals — page speed and user experience signals

Below the scores you will see the last crawl date, pages crawled count, and a summary of open issues by severity.

Running a new crawl

Click Recrawl on the site overview to trigger a fresh audit. Standard crawl costs 25 credits. Deep crawl costs 100 credits. Crawls are also run automatically by the monthly monitoring job.

5. Issues

Go to Sites → [your site] → Issues. Issues are audit recommendations generated from the crawl. Each has a severity:

SeverityMeaning
CriticalSignificant negative impact on rankings or crawlability. Fix these first.
WarningModerate issues worth addressing after Criticals are resolved.
InfoOptimisation opportunities and minor improvements.

Click any issue title to see a plain-language description, which URLs are affected, a recommended fix, and an AI explanation of why it matters.

Resolving an issue

When you have fixed an issue on your site, mark it as resolved. Resolved issues contribute to quest progress and XP awards. After your next crawl, if the issue is still present it will reappear — the system keeps your progress honest.

6. Rankings

Go to Sites → [your site] → Rankings. Track your most important search keywords here.

Adding keywords

  1. Click Add keyword
  2. Type the keyword phrase
  3. Save — rankings are checked on your next rank update cycle

Reading the data

The rankings table shows current position in Google, position change since last check, a 30-day sparkline, and estimated traffic impact. Rank checks for a batch of 10 keywords cost 10 credits.

7. Competitors

Go to Sites → [your site] → Competitors.

Adding a competitor

  1. Click Add competitor
  2. Enter the competitor's root domain
  3. Save

The platform runs a gap analysis showing your scores vs theirs: overall score comparison, per-category breakdown, and keyword overlap. Competitors you add here also become available as targets in The Duel. Running a competitor analysis costs 30 credits.

8. Performance (Google Search Console)

Go to Sites → [your site] → Performance. This section requires connecting your Google Search Console account.

Connecting GSC

  1. Click Connect Google Search Console
  2. You will be redirected to Google to authorise access
  3. Select the property that matches your site
  4. Authorise and you are redirected back

Once connected the Performance tab shows clicks and impressions over 30 days, average position trend, top pages by click volume, Core Web Vitals, and index coverage. You can disconnect GSC at any time from Account → Settings.

9. Crawl Atlas

Go to Sites → [your site] → Crawl Atlas. Crawl Atlas is the URL-level explorer for your latest crawl. It combines pages discovered by Interweb with Google Search Console page metrics for the selected date range.

The page is designed for technical SEO triage: scan crawl status, issues, metadata, indexability, internal links, load time, and GSC performance in one dense table.

What Crawl Atlas shows

AreaWhat it means
SnapshotThe latest crawl snapshot for the site. Crawl Atlas is read-only and does not trigger a new crawl.
Date rangeThe Search Console reporting range used for clicks, impressions, average position, and CTR.
GSC statusShows whether Search Console is connected, disconnected, unavailable, or requires reconnection. Crawl rows remain visible even without GSC.
Overview metricsCrawled URLs, URLs with issues, indexable pages, total clicks, total impressions, and average position.
URL tableUp to the first 500 crawled URLs with status, issues, metadata, crawl metrics, internal links, and GSC metrics.

Filtering and sorting

Use the filters above the table to search by URL, title, or H1; narrow by issue severity or issue type; filter by status class; isolate indexable or non-indexable pages; and show pages with or without Search Console visibility. Sort the table by status, issue count, clicks, impressions, position, word count, load time, internal links, and depth.

Opening a URL

Click any row to open the detail drawer. The drawer starts with live URL inspection, followed by title, meta description, H1, canonical, crawl metrics, GSC metrics, and the stored issue list for that URL.

When GSC is connected, Interweb automatically runs Google's URL Inspection API for the clicked URL and caches the result in the table. If Google reports the URL as not indexed, the status column changes to Submit to index.

Important: Google does not provide a general API for requesting indexing. The Submit to index button opens your Search Console property and copies the URL to your clipboard so you can paste it into Google's URL Inspection bar, run the live test if needed, and use Google's Request indexing control. Crawl Atlas keeps showing Submit to index until you click I submitted this URL. After confirmation, the table shows Submitted for 24 hours; after that, clicking the URL again runs a fresh inspection. Pages marked non-indexable or no-index are not recommended for submission.

10. The Nexus — growth hub

Go to Growth in the sidebar. The Nexus is where SEO work becomes a game. It contains four quest types on a 2×2 grid. Each card shows a pulsing dot when you have an active quest of that type.

QuestWhat it isAccent
The CampaignLong-term fix roadmap across 3 tiersTeal
The Duel7-day head-to-head against a competitorRose
The LabSimulate SEO changes before you buildPurple
The Daily Grind3 quick tasks every day to maintain momentumAmber

11. The Campaign

The Campaign is your primary growth roadmap. It structures your site's open recommendations into three sequential tiers that you work through at your own pace.

How it works

TierRecommendations includedXP rewardCost
Tier 1 — Technical FoundationAll Critical severity issues150 XP25 credits
Tier 2 — Content and AuthorityAll Warning severity issues300 XP25 credits
Tier 3 — OptimisationAll Info severity issues450 XP25 credits
  1. Click Generate Tier 1 — costs 25 credits and creates a campaign quest
  2. A list of Critical recommendations appears as expandable task cards
  3. Work through them on your actual site, then click Done on each task
  4. When all tasks in a tier are complete, you receive XP and the next tier unlocks
  5. Repeat for Tier 2 and Tier 3

You do not need to complete tiers in a single session. Progress is saved as you go. When you commit a simulation from The Lab, it appears as a campaign_lab task inside your Campaign.

12. The Duel (Beta)

Beta feature. The Duel gives you a focused 7-day fix sprint using a competitor as a reference point. Completing tasks improves your own scores — it does not guarantee you will outrank the competitor.

The Duel is a 7-day focused challenge where you pick a competitor and try to close the SEO gap against them before the timer runs out.

Starting a duel

  1. On The Duel page, select a competitor from your list
  2. Review the Intel panel — it shows your current scores vs theirs
  3. Click Start Duel — costs 50 credits
  4. A 7-day countdown begins

During the duel

The duel loads your site's Critical and Warning recommendations as tasks. Click Strike on each task to mark it done. The progress bar fills as you resolve tasks.

Outcomes

OutcomeConditionResult
VictoryAll tasks resolved before timer expiresXP awarded, possible badge
ExpiredTimer reaches zero before all tasks are doneNo XP, no credit refund
AbandonedYou click AbandonNo XP, 50 credits lost

You can only have one active duel at a time per site.

13. The Lab (Beta)

Beta feature. Lab simulations produce directional estimates only — not guarantees of traffic or ranking changes. Results are powered by AI. Treat outputs as a starting point for prioritisation, not a precise forecast.

The Lab lets you run AI-powered simulations to estimate how a specific SEO change might affect your traffic and rankings before you invest time building it.

Custom scenarioDescribe any change — the AI models the impact20 credits

Committing a simulation

When a simulation identifies a high-value fix, click Commit. This creates a campaign_lab quest and adds the task to your Campaign. A toast notification appears with a "View in Campaign" link for 8 seconds. You can have up to 10 simulation results stored.

14. The Daily Grind

The Daily Grind keeps your SEO momentum going with three small, achievable tasks every day. Each set is tailored to your site's current issues, is free, and resets at midnight UTC.

Starting your day

  1. Go to Growth → The Daily Grind
  2. If no tasks exist for today, click Generate tasks
  3. Three task cards appear — each is a specific, actionable fix. Starting the Daily Grind costs 0 credits.

Streak and XP multipliers

Your streak counts the number of consecutive days you complete all three tasks.

StreakXP multiplierXP earned
Days 1–41.0×50 XP
Days 5–91.5×75 XP
Days 10–142.0×100 XP
Days 15+3.0×150 XP

If you miss a day your streak resets to zero. At 7-day and 30-day streaks a milestone overlay appears with bonus credits. At 30 consecutive days you also earn the streak_30 badge.

15. Gamification — XP, levels, streaks, badges

XP and levels

Everything you accomplish earns XP — resolving recommendations, completing quest tiers, winning duels, finishing daily tasks. XP accumulates globally across all your sites. When you level up, a toast notification appears and you receive 150 bonus credits.

18. Tips and best practices

  • Start with Tier 1 of the Campaign. Critical issues have the biggest impact. Work through them before moving to Warnings or Info-level tasks.
  • Connect GSC early. The more data the platform has about your actual search performance, the more targeted the recommendations and simulations become.
  • Use The Lab before big changes. Before investing development time in a major change, run a Lab simulation to get a directional estimate. Treat the output as a signal for prioritisation, not a precise prediction.
  • Do the Daily Grind every day. Three small tasks a day adds up faster than large sporadic efforts. The streak multiplier means consistent users earn significantly more XP over time.
  • Try The Duel for focused competitor sprints. The 7-day constraint focuses your effort in a way that open-ended to-do lists cannot. Even partial progress is still real SEO improvement.
  • Re-crawl after fixing issues. The platform scores against the last crawl. Running a recrawl after a batch of fixes will update your scores and unlock fresh recommendations.
  • Watch your credits balance. Monthly site monitoring (50 credits/site) is automatic. If your balance drops to zero, monitoring pauses.

19. FAQ

My score went down after a recrawl. Why?

A recrawl may discover new pages or issues that were not in the previous crawl. A lower score after a deeper crawl means the platform has a more complete picture of your site — it is not a regression in your SEO.

How long does a crawl take?

Standard crawls (100 pages) typically complete in 2–5 minutes. Deep crawls (500 pages) may take 10–20 minutes depending on server response times.

Can I use the platform for client sites I manage?

Yes. You can add any domain you have authorisation to crawl. There is no limit on the number of sites per account (subject to available credits for monitoring).

What happens if the duel timer expires while I am still working?

If the countdown reaches zero while you have the Duel page open, the display automatically transitions to an expiry card. You can start a new duel immediately at the standard 50-credit cost.

Will committing a Lab simulation start a recrawl?

No. Committing a simulation creates a campaign_lab quest in your Campaign to track that you intend to make the change. Run a manual recrawl after you have implemented the change to see the real-world impact.

My streak is showing as broken but I completed tasks yesterday.

Streak tracking is based on UTC dates. If you completed tasks close to midnight UTC, the daily boundary may have reset before your tasks were saved. Check the "last active" date shown on the Daily Grind panel.

How do I disconnect Google Search Console?

Go to your site's Performance tab and click the disconnect option, or contact support.

Can I get a refund on credits?

Credit purchases are final and non-refundable. If you believe there has been a billing error, contact support@interweb.media with your transaction reference.
