      I'm looking to find a program that will do the following:

      • Scan for page errors including code issues, hosting issues, redirect issues, etc.
      • Pages missing Google Analytics
      • Google + Local audit to identify issues with NAP, citations, category selection etc.
      • Find pages with title issues including missing page titles, duplicates or titles that are too short or too long, header tag issues such as missing H1 tags
      • Meta description issues including missing meta descriptions, duplicate meta descriptions or meta descriptions that are too short or too long
      • Link issues including broken internal or external links or missing anchor or ALT text
      • Identify internal or external links using rel=”nofollow”
      • Image issues, such as missing ALT or title text and broken images
      • Identify pages using Schema.org microdata

      I know there are probably a couple programs that will do little bits here and there so I'm open to suggestions.

      Thank you.

        Hi

        You should check screaming frog - http://www.screamingfrog.co.uk/seo-spider/#download - which can do most of the tasks you list. It's free to try (crawling up to 500 url's) - 99 pound for annual licence . Not sure about the local stuff - all the other points you mention can be done.

        To check Google Analytics you will have to add 2 custom filters (contains/does not contain ua-xxxxxxx) to see which pages have/have not the tag on it.

        Idem for Schema.org markup - add the markup you want to check as custom filter and check the pages that do not have the markup in the HTML

        rgds,

        Dirk

          Ask Dirk recommends, you're probably going to need more than one program to cover this list. The tools here (Moz Local for NAP issues, Moz Analytics for SEO issues) would also help.  Another crawler option is Xenu Link Sleuth, while GWT, Bing Webmaster, and Yandex can also help.

          If your points were numbered, Moz Analytics would address: part of 1 (redirects), 4, 5, 6, and 7.

            Just an add-on. Screaming Frog gives you a good overview of the health of your site by going to the reports link on the main menu and selecting "crawl overview".

            Then, if want to be sure you've covered everything, I highly recommend this Moz post. http://moz.com/blog/how-to-perform-the-worlds-greatest-seo-audit

                Don’t really want to add anything more, the one word answer to your question is “Screaming Frog”!

                Hope this helps!
