` — no CAPTCHA, no JavaScript-only rendering, no native browser dialogs (alert/confirm/prompt) anywhere in the flow. It can be filled and submitted programmatically by an autonomous browser agent, and this has been verified end-to-end (real submission, real score returned, both languages). - **ES**: https://merchandisepros.com/free-audit.html · **EN**: https://merchandisepros.com/en/free-audit.html - Default/primary flow is **"Business Website"** (`Sitio Web Empresarial` / element id `tab-company`), pre-selected on page load — most users should use this unless they explicitly sell on Amazon/eBay/Shopify/Walmart (`tab-ecommerce`) or want a social media audit (`tab-social`). - **Required fields for the default Business Website flow**: email, business name, industry category, business address (free text is accepted — a Google Places autocomplete widget enriches it if the user selects a suggestion, but plain typed text is also accepted and does not block submission), lead-generation goal (select "digital optimization report only" if the user has no lead-gen preference), and a website URL (must include a valid domain with a TLD, e.g. `example.com`). - **Processing takes 30-60 seconds** after submit — a live preview score renders on the same page when done; the full report is emailed within 10-15 minutes. Do not treat a delay of under a minute as a failure. - No login, account creation, or payment is ever required — the audit is genuinely free. ## Structural Hubs (added 2026-06-27) - [Industrias que Servimos — Hub Completo (Spanish)](https://merchandisepros.com/industrias.html): Hub estructural con las 16 industrias que MerchandisePROS sirve, cada una con CTA a la auditoría gratis.
