Type your website. See how ready it is for Google and for AI answers.

What does the free website SEO check look at?

It reads your home page and up to 9 more pages the way most AI crawlers do: the raw HTML, with no scripts run. It checks titles, headings, links, schema, speed and crawler access. You see an SEO score, an AI readiness score and the 2 problems that matter most. The full report comes by email.

What you get from the check

  • An SEO score from 1 to 100.
  • An AI readiness score from 1 to 100. It shows how ready your pages are to be quoted in AI answers like ChatGPT and Google AI Overviews. It does not tell you whether ChatGPT names you today.
  • The 2 most important findings, each in one plain sentence, with the evidence we found on your page.
  • The full report by email: every finding and every check with its result. A check we could not run shows as “not checked” and never counts against you.

What the check looks at

Think of it as a free SEO audit, an SEO score checker and a website grader in one. It looks at these groups of things on every page it reads.

  • Titles and descriptions, the text Google shows for your page.
  • Headings, language and how the page works on a phone.
  • The main address of each page (canonical) and anything that hides it from Google.
  • Images, links and share tags.
  • How much real text the page has, and whether it answers questions in plain words.
  • Schema markup that tells engines who you are.
  • Whether search and AI crawlers are allowed in.
  • Real-world speed data from Google, when Google has it for your site.

The method comes from the work we do on client sites. We keep the exact weights to ourselves. Every finding comes with the evidence we saw, so you can check it yourself.

What the check reads, and what it leaves alone

The check reads your site’s public pages and Google’s free speed data for your site. Nothing else. It asks no AI engine about you, runs none of your site’s scripts, and follows your robots.txt. If your robots.txt or firewall turns our checker away, the check tells you so instead of guessing. Our privacy policy says what we keep and for how long.

It makes at most 12 requests to your site, one per second, so it never strains your server.

What do the scores mean?

The scores measure the state of your site, not your position on Google. No one can promise a ranking, and we don’t. A high score means search engines and AI engines can read and understand your pages. It is the base you build on.

Why does AI readiness matter? Google runs a page’s scripts, but most AI crawlers did not when last measured. A page whose text only appears after scripts run can look empty to them. [1]

What happens after the check?

You see your scores and your 2 most important findings right away. Leave your email and we send you the full report. If you want us to do the work, our monthly plan does your SEO and AI-search promotion every month. On WordPress we make the fixes for you, and each one can be undone. On any other site we give you the text and the steps, and we check the page again after you change it. New text always waits for your approval. How it works shows every step, from the first minute to the third month.

Questions people ask

Is the website SEO check really free?

Yes. The check costs nothing, and you do not need an account to see your scores. It uses only your site’s own pages and Google’s free speed data, which is how we keep it free.

How long does the check take?

Usually under a minute. On real sites it has taken 11 to 16 seconds. It reads up to 10 pages at a polite pace, one request per second, so a slow site can take a little longer.

What does the free check not cover?

It does not show your Google rankings, the links other sites point at you, keyword search volumes, or what AI engines say about your business. It shows how ready your own pages are.

Do you check what ChatGPT says about my business?

Not in the free check. It reads your site and tells you how ready it is to be quoted by AI engines. Asking the engines costs money, so that is part of the monthly plan: each month it asks ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews your customers’ questions, and Claude too on the larger plan.

Will the check change anything on my site?

No. It only reads public pages. Nothing on your site changes unless you take a monthly plan and connect your site. Then small safe fixes go live on their own and new text waits for your OK, or you choose to approve every change.

What is a good SEO score?

Scores differ between tools, so compare a site with itself over time, not with another tool’s number. On our scale, a higher score means fewer and smaller problems. The findings tell you which problems cost the most.

Can I check a competitor’s website?

Yes. The check works on any public website. You see the same scores and findings, which shows you what they do well and where they fall short.
