Price check: finding old numbers on your website
The price check reads the text on your website and reports pricing tied to an expired period, or figures that contradict each other across pages. Typical hits are promotional prices with no end date, old amounts buried in FAQ answers, and numbers in blog posts nobody keeps track of anymore.

What gets reported
Not every number — only the ones tied to time or contradiction:
- Promotional prices with an expired period.
- Prices tied to a year that has already passed.
- Conflicting amounts on different pages.
- Old figures buried in FAQ answers and older posts.
Why this is more than cosmetic
Someone who reads the old price and then hears the current one experiences it as an increase in the moment, even if the price changed months ago. On top of that, a specific figure published on a page can be read as a binding offer.
Fixing every instance in a single pass is worth more than three separate corrections spread over months, because each gap in between is a chance for someone to see the wrong number.
Where old prices survive the longest
The classic case is a downloadable price list: removed from the visible page, but still reachable through an old link and still indexed by search engines. Replace the file under the same name instead of adding a new one, so every existing link points to the current version.
So this is how you'd do it by hand
After every price change, walk through every place an amount appears: service pages, homepage, downloads, the enquiry form, and preview text shown when a link is shared. It works, as long as you remember to do it every single time — which is exactly where it usually falls apart.
Häufige Fragen
- Does it flag every price on my website?
- No. Only figures tied to a time period or a clear contradiction get reported, not every number.
- Does it check prices inside PDF files?
- No, only the visible text on your pages. Downloadable price lists are worth checking yourself — they're the most common leftover.
- Can I mute a flagged price permanently?
- Yes. Any reported passage can be silenced if it's intentional on your end.
- How is this different from just proofreading my pricing page?
- It also compares figures across pages you might not think to check together, like an FAQ or an old blog post.
