What Is an SEO Score?

Your SEO score is a composite rating of how well your website is optimized for search engines. It factors in technical setup, content quality, performance metrics, and user experience signals. A higher score means better visibility in Google, Bing, and other search engines.

SiteGhost analyzes your site using Google Lighthouse and AI-powered content analysis to generate scores across performance, SEO best practices, accessibility, and more.

How Scores Work

90+

Good (90-100)

Your site follows SEO best practices. Minor optimizations may still help.

50-89

Needs Work (50-89)

Significant opportunities for improvement. Likely missing key optimizations.

<50

Poor (0-49)

Serious SEO issues. You're likely invisible to search engines for competitive terms.

Common SEO Issues We Find

πŸ“

Missing or Bad Meta Tags

No title tag, duplicate titles across pages, descriptions over 160 characters, or missing Open Graph tags. These directly impact click-through rates from search results.

⚑

Slow Performance (Core Web Vitals)

LCP over 2.5s, CLS shifts above 0.1, or INP over 200ms. Since 2024, these are confirmed Google ranking factors for both mobile and desktop.

πŸ“±

Poor Mobile Experience

Google uses mobile-first indexing. If your site is hard to use on phones β€” tiny text, broken layouts, unplayable content β€” you're being ranked based on the worst version.

πŸ–ΌοΈ

Unoptimized Images

No alt text (accessibility + SEO hit), oversized files slowing load time, missing width/height causing layout shifts, and not using modern formats like WebP.

πŸ”—

Broken Internal Links

404 errors waste crawl budget and link equity. They also frustrate users β€” and Google notices when people bounce back to search results.

πŸ—οΈ

Missing Structured Data

Without JSON-LD markup, you miss rich snippets in search results β€” stars, FAQs, prices, and events that dramatically increase click-through rates.

πŸ—ΊοΈ

No Sitemap or Robots.txt Issues

Missing XML sitemap means Google has to discover pages on its own. A misconfigured robots.txt can block important pages from being indexed entirely.

πŸ”€

Heading Hierarchy Problems

Skipping from H1 to H4, multiple H1 tags, or no H1 at all. Search engines use heading structure to understand content hierarchy and topic relevance.

How Performance Impacts Rankings

Page speed isn't just about user experience β€” it's a direct ranking factor. Google's own data shows:

  • As load time goes from 1s to 3s, bounce rate increases by 32%
  • From 1s to 5s, bounce rate increases by 90%
  • Sites in the top 10 results average 1.65s load time
  • A 1-second delay reduces conversions by 7%

Frequently Asked Questions

What's a good SEO score?
Aim for 90+ on Lighthouse SEO. For performance, 80+ is solid and 90+ is excellent. Keep in mind that scores vary by page complexity β€” a heavy e-commerce page won't score the same as a simple landing page, and that's normal.
How is this different from Google PageSpeed Insights?
We run real Lighthouse audits (same as PageSpeed) but layer on AI analysis that explains what the numbers mean and prioritizes fixes by impact. Instead of raw metrics, you get a clear action plan with plain-English explanations.
Does SEO score guarantee higher rankings?
Not directly β€” Google uses 200+ ranking factors including backlinks, content quality, and domain authority. But technical SEO is the foundation. A perfect score on weak content won't rank, but strong content on a broken site won't either.
How often should I check my SEO score?
After every significant content or design change. At minimum, monthly. Google's algorithm updates frequently, and competitors are constantly improving. Regular monitoring catches regressions before they hurt your rankings.
Can I check my competitors' SEO?
Absolutely β€” enter any public URL. Competitive analysis is one of the best ways to find opportunities. See what they're doing right and where you can outperform them.
