Built for limited time, not limited ambition

No SEO team, no problem

Most small businesses do not have a dedicated SEO person on staff, and do not need one to get started with a first check on their own site. The free check surfaces the highest-return fix first instead of a hundred-item checklist sorted alphabetically by category, and a registered account turns each finding into a ready-to-paste fix plus a verification re-scan that confirms it actually went live within a 30-day window — so acting on a finding does not require hiring anyone new just to read the report and understand what to do next with it. Findings carrying a quick-win flag, meaning both high-impact and low-effort at once, are the ones worth doing first on a limited afternoon between everything else running a small business already demands of one person's time and attention.

What this doesn't do

This checker audits one page at a time rather than crawling an entire site in a single pass, and it measures what is structurally checkable in a page's HTML and metadata rather than promising a specific outcome. A page's actual ranking also depends on factors outside any single page, such as competitor content and backlinks earned elsewhere, so a high SEO Health Score is one input into ranking rather than the whole of it.

FAQ

SEO for small business — FAQ

I don't have an SEO background — is this usable? +

Yes, that is who it is built for. Every finding across the SEO Health Score's nine weighted categories — technical, on-page, content quality, schema, performance, AI search readiness, images, trust and compliance, and local SEO — is ranked by impact vs. effort, so the first thing an owner sees is the highest-return fix, not the longest checklist sorted by category. No SEO vocabulary is assumed anywhere in the report; each finding explains what is wrong and why it matters in plain language, the same way you would explain a problem to a friend rather than to another SEO. A finding also carries a quick-win flag when it is both high-impact and low-effort, so the very first action to take is obvious without reading the whole list end to end, and without knowing what a canonical tag or a schema markup even is beforehand.

How much time does this take for a small business owner? +

The free check runs in a minute on one page — a homepage or the highest-traffic page is usually the right place to start, since that is where a fix reaches the most visitors first and pays back the fastest. Fixing what it finds takes longer than the check itself, but the impact-vs-effort ranking means the highest-impact item can be done first and the rest picked up whenever time allows, rather than working straight down an unordered list from top to bottom regardless of how much each item actually matters. Findings also carry a quick-win flag for anything both high-impact and low-effort, so a busy owner with fifteen minutes free between other work can still find something worth doing without reading the entire report first, and can come back to the rest of the list on a different, less busy day.

Do I need to hire someone to act on the findings? +

Not necessarily. A paid analysis adds AI-generated, page-specific fixes — ready-to-paste copy and code, not just a description of the problem — plus a verification re-scan within a 30-day window that confirms a fix actually went live rather than just assuming it did once it was pasted in somewhere. Some findings, like a missing sitemap entry or an empty alt attribute, are quick even without technical help; others, like a heading hierarchy rebuild across a whole page or a schema markup addition, are still worth a developer's time even with ready-to-paste code already in hand. The re-scan exists specifically because a fix that looks correct in a code editor does not always deploy correctly to a live site, and a missed deployment step is easy to overlook without checking again afterward on the actual published page.

Is this cheaper than an SEO agency retainer? +

The free check costs nothing and requires no signup to see the ranked list of findings. Paid plans exist for ongoing tracking and AI-written fixes, priced for a single site rather than an agency's multi-client book of business — see current plans on the homepage for exact numbers, since pricing is not duplicated here to avoid it going stale on this page.

Does it check AI search visibility too, or just Google? +

Both, from the same free check: an SEO Health Score built from nine weighted categories for classic search, and a GEO Readiness Score built from five weighted dimensions — Citability, Authority & Brand Signals, Structural Readability, Technical Accessibility, and Multi-Modal Content — for whether AI systems like ChatGPT and Gemini can find and cite the page. Customers increasingly start research in an AI chat instead of a search box, so a page that is invisible to one but visible to the other is only half covered for how people actually look for a business today. Both scores come back on the same URL in the same run, with no second check needed to see the AI-search side of the report, no separate signup for either score, and no extra wait for the second score to finish computing.
