FREE SEO CHECKER

Free SEO checker for your website

The SEO checker reads the parts of your page that Google looks at and gives you a score right away. For your title, your headings and every other item, you see what the checker found and why it matters.

WHAT GETS CHECKED

The ten SEO items in the checker

The SEO checker looks at the on-page side of your page, meaning the parts you control yourself. The list shows what each item is and how to fix it. On top of these, the checker looks at a few technical basics, such as the page language and the icon in the browser tab.

Come across a term in the list that you don't know? You'll find it explained in plain words in my guide to key SEO terms.

Not sure which keyword belongs at the front of your title? The free keyword research tool shows how often people in the United States search for a term.

  • Title in Google (meta title)

    Whether your page title is there and how long it is

    How to fix it: Put your most important keyword at the front and stay under 60 characters, or Google will cut off your title.

  • Description in Google (meta description)

    Your description in the search results

    How to fix it: Write one sentence that makes searchers want to click, with your keyword in it. Around 150 characters works well.

  • Main heading on the page (H1)

    The main heading of your page

    How to fix it: Give every page one H1 that says in plain words what the page is about.

  • Image descriptions (alt text)

    Descriptions for your images

    How to fix it: Briefly describe what the image shows, so Google and screen readers understand it.

  • Preferred address for Google (canonical URL)

    Whether your page has one fixed address for Google

    How to fix it: Point the canonical to the address that should appear in Google, even if the same page can be reached at another address.

  • Preview when shared

    What your page looks like when someone shares it

    How to fix it: Fill in a title, description and share image, so your link looks good on LinkedIn and WhatsApp.

  • Business details for Google

    Your name, address and business hours in a format Google reads directly

    How to fix it: Add your business details to the code as structured data, with the same details as on your Google Business Profile.

  • Contact details

    Whether a visitor can find your phone number, email address or street address

    How to fix it: Put your phone number and email address on every page, for example in the footer.

  • Amount of text

    How much running text there is on the page

    How to fix it: Write enough text to answer your visitor's question. A few short lines give Google too little to go on.

  • Links to your other pages

    How the page links to the rest of your site

    How to fix it: Link from your text to your most important pages, with link text that says where the link goes.

THE LIMITS OF THE CHECKER

What this checker does and doesn't do

What the checker looks at

  • Your title and description in Google
  • Your main heading (H1) and your alt text
  • How much text there is and how you link to your other pages
  • Structured data and the technical basics

What the checker doesn't look at

  • Backlinks and domain authority
  • Your rankings in Google (that's what the keyword rank checker is for)
  • Whether your text answers the searcher's question well
  • Your other pages: the checker looks at one page

For your whole site, with your backlinks, your content and your competitors included, you need a full SEO audit.

THE REST OF SEO

What else Google looks at

On-page SEO is the foundation of an SEO strategy: from your title, your description and your headings, Google quickly sees what your page is about. Deciding who ends up at the top takes more than that.

What else counts:

  • ▸ Backlinks: which other sites link to you
  • ▸ Content: whether your text answers what the searcher wants to know
  • ▸ User signals: whether visitors find what they were looking for
  • ▸ Competition: how strong the other pages targeting that search term are

A good score on this checker won't get you to the top on its own. With a weak foundation, though, you start out behind, and your backlinks and your text then have to make up for that first.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Questions about the SEO checker

An SEO checker looks at whether the basics of your page are right for Google: a good title, one clear H1, a description for the search results and text for your images. This checker does that directly on your own page and gives you a score, with the reason each item matters. You get the fix for each item by email.

On-page SEO is everything you improve for Google on your own pages: your title and description, your headings, your text, your internal links and the technical side. That is what this checker looks at. What happens outside your site, such as links from other sites to yours, is called off-page SEO and is not part of it.

No. A good score means the basics of your page are right. Where you end up in Google also depends on your backlinks, the quality of your text, whether it answers the question behind the search, and how strong your competitors are.

The SEO checker looks at your page itself: your title, your headings, your images and the technical side. Where you rank in Google differs per search term and changes all the time. You can see that with the free keyword rank checker. It finds the search terms that fit what you offer and shows for each one whether you're on page 1.

An SEO checker automatically tests whether the basics of one page are right. An SEO audit looks at your whole site, including your content, your internal links, your backlinks and your competitors, and ends with a plan that says what comes first. An audit like that is done by hand, as part of a paid project.

All the checks for your page, with the reason each item matters and how to fix it. At the top are the three items that deserve attention first. Besides your email address, I ask two short things: what you want to achieve with your website and when you want to get started.

Not necessarily. HTML5 allows multiple H1s and Google can handle them. One H1 per page does make it clearer what your page is about, which is why the checker recommends it. If there are two, that's not a big deal.

Well-known brands often use a short title, like "Nike" or "Apple". If people search for your brand name, that works fine. If not everyone knows you yet, a longer title with the words you want to be found for will help.

Open Graph tags decide which title, text and image appear when someone shares your page on LinkedIn, WhatsApp or Facebook. They have no direct effect on your rankings in Google. If they're missing, the platform decides what to show, and sometimes that's a random image or none at all.

Then you don't need alt text either. The checker shows that item as "n/a" and doesn't deduct any points for it.

This SEO checker is free. You can run three scans a day, and they count toward the same daily limit as the website checker. If you want me to look at your content and your backlinks as well, that runs as a paid project.

Run it after every big change: a new page, a rewritten text or a changed title. If little changes, checking once a month is enough to keep the basics in order.
