The situation
Your client asks what needs fixing. Start from the same evidence.
Results from several tools are hard to discuss in one call. Insight organizes detected issues and their sources so you can move on to scope, unknowns and ownership.
Today
- The client asks “what is wrong” while you stitch results from several tools.
- Priorities are not shared, because each team pulls in its own direction.
- Pricing talks start without a documented starting point.
With Insight
- A dated site result with the main issues
- Priorities to start your quote from
- Questions about what an automated audit does not cover
Project stages
One measurement from quote to ongoing care.
This scenario is one of five stages. The same audit runs at each one, so results compare.
- Before the project
- During the project
- After launch
How it works
Three steps, one result.
You end up answeringWhich issues belong in the project, and what still needs an answer?
-
Check the client site
Enter the home page and a few important pages. A public URL is enough, no admin access.
-
Choose what goes into scope
Insight orders the issues by priority, and you decide which ones go into the quote.
-
Ask about the rest
The audit cannot see pages behind a login or the client’s goals. That is what you ask about on the call.
What you get
A list of issues and questions for the scoping call
One document with a date, scope and sources. Share it with a link; the recipient needs no Insight account.
See a starting-point report- The client site’s public URL
- A few important pages, such as services and contact
- An initial scope for the call

Limits
What Insight will not do here.
An automated audit is a starting point. What it cannot see stays with you.
- It does not price the project for you.
- It does not check pages behind a login.
- It does not replace a conversation about the client’s business goals.
- Which pages bring in sales? The audit shows technical issues but not what matters most to the client.
- Are the cart and logged-in pages in scope? An audit of the public site cannot see them.
- Who ships the changes: the client’s team or an external vendor?
- What is the stack, and can templates be changed or only content?
- Were there earlier audits, and what was actually implemented from them?
- What is the time frame for the first iteration?

No. The scan organises detectable technical signals and puts them in order. Pricing depends on business scope, the stack and the client team’s availability. That is what the conversation is for.
The scan covers publicly reachable URLs, the same way any indexing crawler does. Logged-in areas and staging environments need separate access, so you will agree the scope with the client anyway.
Usually a few representative ones: the homepage, a key commercial page and one repeating template. A wider crawl makes sense once the scope is roughly agreed.
Lighthouse shows one run of one URL. Insight gathers signals from several areas into one result with a date and a source, and orders them by weight, so the conversation does not start by stitching three exports together.
Yes, the report is built to be handed over. Just name it for what it is: a documented starting point and a list of questions, not an approved remediation plan.
