FAQ
What does this Google SEO audit check?
It runs 43 checks across 6 dimensions based on Google Search Central’s official documentation: Search Essentials Compliance, Helpful Content signals, Crawling & Indexing Health, Ranking System Alignment, Search Appearance Optimization, and Mobile/Security/Technical Foundations.
How is the score calculated?
Each check is scored PASS (2 points), PARTIAL (1 point), or FAIL (0 points). The raw score is normalized to 100. A score of 90+ means Google-compliant; 75–89 has minor gaps; below 55 indicates critical compliance issues.
Is this the same as a Lighthouse audit?
No. Lighthouse measures performance, accessibility, and basic SEO signals. This tool checks compliance with Google’s published spam policies, helpful content guidelines, crawling requirements, and ranking system alignment — things Lighthouse doesn’t cover.
How often should I audit my pages?
After any major content or structural change, and quarterly for high-priority pages. Google’s guidelines evolve, and content that was compliant six months ago may have gaps after algorithm updates.
What should I fix first?
Start with the “Top Fixes” section at the bottom of your results — these are prioritized by compliance impact. Search Essentials violations (spam policy risks) should always be addressed before optimization improvements.
