Monsido

Monsido assists web content editors with quality assurance tasks; provides a checklist of SEO opportunities; offers insight into analytics concerns; monitors "uptime" of a site and can alert a user to a specific length of downtime; and allows users to search their content for specific instances of language, links, and images.

The Office of Marketing and Communications has purchased an Enterprise version of Monsido that allows us to scan up to 1 million web pages throughout the osu.edu ecosystem. With the Enterprise version, we have the ability to set up multiple groups based on colleges or offices and have administrators appointed for each group who can help set up new domains, users, and policies for their specific area.

Monsido is currently a free tool available to Ohio State employees who edit their websites and require a tool to check for Quality Assurance, SEO Opportunities, and can provide some insight in Accessibility concerns. (Please note that Monsido is not the official accessibility scanning tool of the university and is not used to comprise accessibility reports. For that information you will need to contact the Accessibility Coordinator for your department). An added benefit to the tool is the ability to set up "policies" that can scan your site for unwanted terms, determine whether you have necessary language on your site, or determine if you have placeholder tags in that should be updated.

Already a Monsido User?

If you're already a Monsido user, then you know how helpful it can be in scanning your site, finding those broken links and misspelled words, and giving you helpful hints on improving your SEO and accessibility. The Chrome extension helps you see these issues on a page by page basis and can show you exactly where they are on the given page. If you ever feel like you're just not getting as much as you could out of the tool - you can always request a training.
