CARD 01The grading scale
Five grades. One of them is yours — after we look.
This is the scale your card is marked against, written in plain English so you can read your own result without an SEO dictionary. It is a rubric, not a result: nobody is graded on this page.
Get your own grade. One URL, one keyword, and the card comes back with all six lines filled in.
CARD 02What gets scored
Six lines, and a service behind every one.
Getting found starts with sound SEO, so the free test looks for the big problems standing between your site and a higher rank. Every line below is scored out of 100 on your card — and every line names the service that fixes it.

CARD 03Submit a press release
Put real, published news on the record.
Line 04 of your card looks at the published mentions pointing at your business. A press release is how a small business creates one on purpose — a dated announcement, written properly, distributed, and then published where people and search engines can find it.
- Your business name gets a dated announcement attached to it. A new location, a new service, an award, a hire, a milestone — on the record, with a date on it.
- It gives you something to point at that isn’t your own website. A buyer checking you out finds published coverage instead of only your own marketing.
- It creates the kind of mention Line 04 is looking for. Published mentions and citations are part of what the Authority & Citations line examines.
- And it gives you something worth sharing. “Be Social. Be Exciting!” — a published release is a better social post than another discount.
- Send us the announcementYour news in your own words, or a few bullet points and we write it. Tell us the business name, the city and the link you want it to point at.
- We edit it into release formatHeadline, dateline, body, boilerplate and contact block — written so an editor can run it and so it reads as news, not an advert.
- You approve it and payYou see the final wording before anything goes out. It goes out only after you have signed it off.
- It is distributed, then it lands in the archiveOnce it is published, the release is collected into our press release archive so it has a permanent home you can link to.
Every commercial detail of this product is deliberately blank. We have not been given a price, a package structure, a distribution partner or a syndication figure — so none is shown, and no media-outlet names or logos appear anywhere in this section. Writing in a plausible-looking price and a round-number syndication claim is the one thing this whole design exists not to do. Send us the real terms and this card fills in.
This box is where the price goes. It is empty because we have not been told what it is.
Start a release now and we will come back with the wording and the price before anything is distributed or paid for.
CARD 04Local SEO
Local SEO is more important than ever.
Local search engine optimization can be either tougher or easier depending on the local competition factor. Line 03 of the card is the local line, and these are the questions behind it — each one marked on your own listings, not on anybody else’s.
SEO companies near you
The live site publishes five offices — Los Angeles/Covina, San Diego, Las Vegas, Boca Raton and Long Island — each with its own street address and local phone number, all last updated August 2018. Confirm which offices and numbers are still current, and which address is the official one for schema, before we publish any of them. Stale NAP data actively hurts local rankings, and LocalBusiness schema pointing at a closed office is worse than no schema at all. Until you confirm, this design shows the market only. Hours are also needed for the schema.
Score your local listings first. The local line tells you whether the map pack or a directory is taking the calls you should be getting.
