SiteAuditBot

Verifiable

Semrush's site-auditing crawler, distinct from SemrushBot: it crawls a domain on demand when a Semrush customer runs the Site Audit tool, looking for SEO and technical issues. Unlike the backlink crawler, which Semrush says cannot be identified by IP, Site Audit is documented as running from a single dedicated subnet.
