mttr and Moz Pro
Moz Pro is known for Domain Authority, its link and keyword data, and now AI visibility. mttr reads each page the way search engines and AI assistants do and ranks the fixes. Keep Moz for authority and keywords, and add mttr, free, for the pages.
Keep Moz Pro. Add mttr on top.
mttr is not a replacement for Moz Pro. It is a free layer that reads your pages the way search engines and AI assistants do.
What Moz Pro is best at
- Domain AuthorityThe best-known score for how strong a site’s links are, used to size up any domain.
- Link ExplorerThe links behind a site, links new and lost, and Spam Score.
- Keywords and rankingsKeyword ideas with volume and difficulty, and positions tracked over time.
- AI VisibilityHow ChatGPT, Gemini and Google AI Mode mention a brand, beside its rivals.
What mttr adds on top
- Pages read as an AI crawler gets themThe words in the HTML before any script, whether robots.txt and the firewall let GPTBot, ClaudeBot and PerplexityBot in, and one address for each page.
- One rulebook, 44 rules in four stagesCan a machine reach the page, understand it, believe it and act on it. Every rule comes with its fix.
- Signs of generated textHidden characters, chat and markdown left in, placeholders never filled and stock phrasing, page by page.
- A loop your agent runsThe plan in your agent’s words for Claude Code, Codex or Cursor, and 62 MCP tools: it makes each change, asks for a fresh read, and mttr says which rules now pass.
Which tool for which job
Both means each does a part of it.

| Track rankings | Moz Pro | Positions tracked week by week, beside rivals. |
| Track how AI answers mention a brand | Moz Pro | mttr does not track mentions or citations. |
| Crawl for technical issues | Both | Site Crawl finds broken links and missing titles; mttr checks what AI crawlers get from each page. |
| Find signs of generated text | mttr | Hidden characters, chat left in, placeholders and stock phrasing. |
| Hand fixes to an agent and recheck them | mttr | The plan in the agent’s words, then a fresh read of the live site. |

Questions
Is mttr a Moz Pro alternative?
No. mttr has no Domain Authority, link index, keyword data or rank tracking. It is a free layer on top of Moz Pro that reads each page the way search engines and AI assistants do and ranks the fixes.
Can I use mttr with Moz Pro?
Yes. Moz shows how strong a site is and where it ranks; mttr shows what to change on the pages themselves, and checks each change once it is live.
Does mttr have a Domain Authority score?
No. mttr’s score, out of 100, says how well formed a site’s pages are for search engines and AI assistants. It does not measure links, and it does not say an assistant cites the site.
Is mttr free?
Yes. Reading any public site is free, with no sign-up: the first 100 pages, a score, its place and the fixes worth the most. An email gets a key, and the key connects your agent.
