Work through the SEO fundamentals that actually move rankings, grouped the way an audit runs: technical, on-page, content, off-page & local, and measurement. Tick each item and your score updates live — your progress is saved in this browser so you can come back to it.

How to use it

Go top to bottom. The order roughly reflects priority — a crawlable, fast, mobile-friendly site comes before clever link tactics. Don’t chase 100% for its own sake; fix the items that matter most for your site and goals first. The score is a progress gauge, not a ranking guarantee.

Where to go deeper

Each area has a full playbook: the complete SEO guide for the whole method, on-page techniques for the on-page items, local SEO tips for the local block, and AI visibility for getting surfaced in AI answers. Model the payoff with the ROI calculator.

Questions, answered

A complete SEO checklist covers technical foundations (crawlability, HTTPS, mobile, Core Web Vitals, schema), on-page (titles, headings, internal links, images), content (intent match, depth, E-E-A-T), off-page and local (backlinks, Google Business Profile, reviews, citations), and measurement (GA4, Search Console, rankings and conversions).

Roughly: fix technical foundations first so the site can be crawled and loads well, then on-page and content so pages match intent and read clearly, then off-page and local authority, with measurement set up throughout so you can see what works.

No. A checklist ensures the fundamentals are in place, which is necessary but not sufficient — rankings also depend on competition, authority and ongoing content. Use it as a working audit and prioritise the items that matter most for your site.
