Free SEO utility
Get a useful answer without a complicated setup.
Add the page or business context you want to review, understand the result in plain language, and use the recommendations to improve your next SEO action.
Reading the xml structure output
The xml structure result is the one to act on first, with url count shown beside it so a fix can be judged in context rather than from a single score.
Turning the check into a change
Once location tags looks right, the same page, keyword, or crawl file can move into a full audit and a tracked content workflow instead of staying a one-off check.
Workflow
Start with a quick check, then go deeper when needed.
Inspect the page, understand the result, and continue into an audit or content workflow when you are ready to act.
