Frequently Asked Questions

The checklist evaluates your page across 20 points covering technical SEO, on-page elements, social metadata, and links — including title tags, meta descriptions, heading structure, image alt text, canonical tags, Open Graph tags, and more.

Both tools check on-page factors, but the checklist is structured as a categorised pass/fail list — ideal for a quick health check. The SEO Audit provides deeper explanations and severity ratings for each issue found.

Aim for 80 or above. Pages scoring below 60 likely have critical issues affecting their visibility in search results. Focus on fixing failed checks first, then address warnings.

Run it after publishing new pages and following any significant content updates. Monthly checks on your top-performing pages are also a good habit to catch issues early.

Title tags, meta descriptions, a single H1, image alt text, and internal linking are the highest-impact factors. These help both users and search engines understand your page's content and relevance.
