Structured Data (40 Points)

For DevelopersFor Marketers

What We Check

Presence and accuracy of JSON-LD, Schema.org type detection, required property coverage, and Rich Results eligibility

Why It Matters

Properly configured structured data enables Rich Results in Google (star ratings, FAQs, breadcrumbs, etc.), significantly improving click-through rates

How to Improve

Use JSON-LD format with Schema.org vocabulary and set the appropriate type (Article, FAQPage, Product, etc.) for your page. Verify with Google's Rich Results Test tool

Basic SEO (30 Points)

For Marketers

What We Check

Title tag (30-60 characters recommended), meta description (120-160 characters), heading hierarchy (H1-H6), canonical tag, and OGP tags

Why It Matters

Title and meta description are displayed directly in search results. Proper optimization improves both rankings and click-through rates

How to Improve

Set a title with target keywords within 30-60 characters and write a unique meta description for each page. Use only one H1 per page

Content (20 Points)

For Marketers

What We Check

Text volume (1,000+ characters recommended), image alt attribute coverage, and internal/external link counts

Why It Matters

Sufficient text helps Google understand your page content. Alt attributes affect image search, and links boost overall site authority

How to Improve

Create quality content with 1,000+ characters, add alt attributes to all images, and include internal links to related pages

Technical SEO (10 Points)

For Developers

What We Check

HTTPS compliance, mobile-friendly design, page speed, and security headers (HSTS, etc.)

Why It Matters

Without proper technical foundations, search engines cannot crawl and index your content effectively, regardless of content quality

How to Improve

Enable HTTPS, implement responsive design, and optimize page speed through image compression and CSS/JS minification

Core Web Vitals (Performance Metrics)

For Developers

Three key metrics defined by Google to measure user experience quality. These are also Google search ranking factors

LCP (Largest Contentful Paint)

Measures the time until the main content of the page is displayed. This is how fast users perceive the page has loaded

Good
Under 2.5s
Needs Improvement
2.5s - 4.0s
Poor
Over 4.0s

💡 Optimize images (WebP format, lazy loading), improve server response times, and minimize CSS/JS

CLS (Cumulative Layout Shift)

Measures how much the page layout shifts during loading. Evaluates unexpected movement caused by images, ads, or banners loading

Good
Under 0.1
Needs Improvement
0.1 - 0.25
Poor
Over 0.25

💡 Specify dimensions for images and videos in advance, and prevent layout shifts from web font loading

INP (Interaction to Next Paint)

Measures the time from user interaction (like button clicks) until the screen responds with a visual update

Good
Under 200ms
Needs Improvement
200ms - 500ms
Poor
Over 500ms

💡 Split heavy JavaScript tasks, avoid blocking the main thread, and reduce unnecessary scripts

Performance Score (0-100)

A comprehensive score from 0-100 based on LCP, CLS, INP and other metrics. 90+ is considered good

Mobile and desktop are measured separately. Mobile scores tend to be lower. Since Google uses mobile-first indexing, prioritize mobile improvements

Domain Power (0-10)

For Marketers

A score from 0-10 indicating how much trust search engines place in your domain. Higher scores mean new pages are more likely to rank well

0-2New Site

Newly launched site with few backlinks and limited trust established with search engines

3-4Growing

Content accumulation and backlink acquisition are progressing. Consistent operation is key

5-7Medium-High Authority

A site with established credibility. Quality content and natural backlinks are being recognized

8-10Top Level

Industry-leading trust level. Typically major media outlets and government organizations

Domain Age

The number of years since the domain was registered. Domains operated for longer periods are generally considered more trustworthy

How to Improve Domain Power

  • Consistently publish high-quality content
  • Earn natural backlinks from other sites
  • Improve technical SEO foundations
  • Maintain stable long-term operations

Keyword Research Tool

For Marketers

A comprehensive tool for SEO keyword research: bulk suggest keywords, monthly search volume, and ranked keyword analysis — all in one place.

Suggest Keywords + Search Volume

Fetch Google suggest keywords in bulk for any keyword. Paid plans also display monthly search volume, CPC, and competition. Click column headers to toggle sort order.

Understanding Monthly Search Volume

Monthly search volume shows the average monthly Google searches. Values use Google Ads standard rounding (590, 720, 880, 1000, 1300, etc.). CPC is the cost per ad click, and competition (0-1) indicates advertising competition level.

Ranked Keywords (Basic+)

Enter a domain to see which keywords it ranks for on Google. View ranking position, monthly search volume, CPC, and competition to discover your site's strengths and improvement opportunities.

Competitor Comparison

For Marketers

Compare SEO scores and Domain Power side by side with competitors. Helps identify gaps and prioritize improvements

Basic Plan: Compare up to 3 sites simultaneously
Pro Plan: Compare up to 6 sites + PDF export
