SEO score
The SEO score is an on-page check for a live URL.
In Page Writer, the check appears in the left sidebar. It uses DataForSEO and reads the URL from the page file or the current page preview. The URL must belong to the same website.
SEO score check
Run the check after the page is published at its saved URL.
The button is disabled when the file has unsaved changes. Save first, because the check should match the file state you are reviewing.
The panel can show:
| Field | What it tells you |
|---|---|
| Score | General on-page result |
| HTTP status | Whether the live page responds |
| Word count | Whether the page may be thin |
| Title length | Whether the title data looks reasonable |
| Description length | Whether the description data looks reasonable |
| Internal links | How much the page connects to the site |
Save the file
The check should match the current markdown state.
Confirm the URL
The live URL must belong to the same website.
Run the check
Use the sidebar action when the page is live.
Turn issues into edits
Bring score signals back into the page file.
Issue location
The score does not always tell you the exact rewrite.
Use it as a signal. If the score shows thin content, review the body. If link counts look weak, review internal links. If the title or description is odd, check frontmatter and the live page.
CLEA validation
You can ask CLEA to help interpret the result.
Use the on-page check result and this markdown file. List the changes that are safe to make in the file. Do not invent live-page issues that the check did not show.
Human review
The score is not the final judge.
A page can have a decent score and still be unclear. A page can also need product review even when the score looks fine.
