What is this audit?

SEO — Search Engine Optimization

SEO measures whether search engines can find, understand, and index your public pages from a sampled crawl plus labeled Core Web Vitals. It is not a ranking, traffic, or backlink report.

Twenty SEO benchmarks across crawlability, content, technical performance, structured data, and local signals. Version seo-v1.0. Core Web Vitals use PageSpeed Insights lab or CrUX field data, labeled as such. Missing vitals stay Unable to Verify, never 0.

How it works

Choose. Scan. Review. Improve. Verify.

Five steps from choosing an audit to verifying results — including the WordPress plugin for supported ARO fixes.

Why this audit matters

If crawlers cannot reach or understand your pages, people never see them in search. A sampled crawl shows the foundation — not invented Google positions.

Who it is for

Operators who want an honest search-foundation audit without fake rankings or traffic numbers.

How SiteGlue evaluates the website

Catalog seo-v1.0. Five categories × four benchmarks × 5 points. PASS 5, PARTIAL 2.5, FAIL 0. Not applicable and Unable to Verify are excluded. If nothing is verified the report is Not Scored.

The formula behind the score

earned ÷ verified applicable max × 100. Local-only checks drop out of the denominator for non-local businesses. Sampled crawls are labeled; they are not a complete orphan-page audit.

Key benchmarks and metrics

What we score

Each card opens the Audit Benchmark Library. Scanner, reports, and this page share the same definitions.

Robots and Indexability

Search engines need crawl and index signals that do not block important pages.

XML Sitemap

A sitemap helps search engines discover URLs, but discoverable pages can still pass without one.

HTTP Status, Redirects & Canonicals

Broken status codes, redirect loops, and conflicting canonicals waste crawl budget.

Internal Link Discoverability

Important pages should be reachable from navigation. This crawl cannot prove a complete orphan list.

Page Titles & Meta Descriptions

Unique titles and descriptions help search snippets. Length advice is advisory, not a ranking rule.

Headings & Content Structure

A clear page heading and logical structure help people and crawlers understand the topic.

Service & Location Coverage

Search engines need to see what the business does and where it serves.

Content Quality & Duplication Signals

Thin or duplicated copy on important pages is a crawl signal, not a claim about Google's quality rater.

Mobile Readiness

A viewport tag and responsive signals are HTML evidence, not a full usability lab.

Core Web Vitals

LCP, INP, and CLS come from PageSpeed Insights field or lab data, labeled as such.

HTTPS & Technical Integrity

HTTPS and mixed-content issues are security findings reported separately from ranking impact.

Technical Errors & Broken Resources

Broken internal links and server errors stop crawlers and people.

Structured Data Presence

Relevant schema types help search engines understand the business. Irrelevant types are not required.

Structured Data Validity

This checks JSON-LD parseability, not Google rich-result eligibility.

Business Entity Consistency

Visible name, URL, and contact should match structured data when both are present.

Images & Search Presentation

Descriptive alt text helps when the image conveys meaning. Decorative images without alt are not automatic failures.

Business Identity & Contact Consistency

Name, phone, and a contact path should be public. Service-area businesses may omit a street address.

Location & Service-Area Optimization

Location or service-area copy helps local discovery when it applies.

Trust & Business Credentials

About, team, and contact transparency are visible signals. Testimonials are not verified authentic.

Local Discovery & External Authority

Google Business Profile, Search Console, and backlink counts are not invented. They stay unverified until connected.

Passing and failing checks

Pass

robots.txt is parseable, important pages are reachable, titles are unique, and Core Web Vitals are labeled from PageSpeed Insights.

Fail

The homepage is marked noindex, or the report invents rankings, backlinks, or Google Business Profile status.

Recommended improvements

  • Publish parseable robots.txt and a sitemap when pages are hard to discover
  • Give important pages unique titles and clear headings
  • Use the SiteGlue WordPress plugin for robots hints, Organization JSON-LD, and contact facts — not for titles, meta, or copy
  • Crawlability, titles, headings, and internal links from a first-party sample (default 50 HTML pages)
  • Core Web Vitals labeled as CrUX field or lab data — never TBT presented as INP
  • Structured data parseability, not Google rich-result eligibility
  • Google Business Profile, Search Console, and backlinks stay Unable to Verify until connected

Frequently asked questions

Will this tell me my Google ranking?

No. Rankings, traffic, and backlinks are never invented. This audit scores crawlability and on-page evidence from a sampled crawl.

Is this a full-site audit?

No. The crawler samples up to 50 HTML pages. The report shows how many pages were discovered versus crawled.

Can SiteGlue one-click fix my titles?

No. The WordPress plugin can publish robots hints, Organization JSON-LD, and contact facts. Titles, meta, headings, and Core Web Vitals stay instructions plus a coding-agent prompt or managed RFP.
