Dead Link Patrol for metal fabrication

Bulk URL status checker, applied to metal fabrication & contract manufacturing.

A fabrication shop running $15K/month in ad spend can hemorrhage hundreds of dollars a month driving traffic to broken quote pages. Dead Link Patrol pastes the entire URL list from your account and returns which URLs redirect (usually fine), which return 404s (costly), and which timeout (also costly). Run this on your landing-page inventory before launching a new paid campaign — catch the broken pages in bulk rather than discovering them one by one when CFO questions the CPL spike. The bulk export of broken URLs with HTTP codes feeds directly into Audit as a line-item failure, so your health checklist surfaces the issue as a blocker. For shops with multiple facilities, Dead Link Patrol catches the scenario where a regional CNC group's capability page was retired but still running ads — 5 business days of wasted spend before you notice. Recommendation: schedule Dead Link Patrol monthly on all your landing pages and use the broken-URL export as your web team's to-do list. Pair it with PageTag so you're checking both 'do the pages exist' and 'are they set up for paid traffic.'

About Dead Link Patrol

Paste a list, get back which URLs return 404, which redirect, and which are clean. Built specifically for catching dead landing pages before ad spend wastes on them — UTM tools never do this and account audits rarely find it in time.

About metal fabrication

Job shops and contract manufacturers compete on capacity, certifications, and lead-time more than price. Their buyers are procurement managers and engineering leads at OEMs who need parts made to spec.
