Questions
What does the free SEO checker measure?
Twenty technical criteria measured on your live site, 100 points in total: HTTPS and redirects, server response time, title, meta description, H1, canonical, indexability, robots.txt, sitemap, structured data, Open Graph, viewport, image alt text, broken internal links, content depth and hreflang. The weight of each item is public on the How scoring works page.
Does a high score mean I will rank on Google?
No. A high technical score means Google can read your site without tripping over basic problems. Rankings also depend on whether your content answers what people search for and whether other sites mention you. Technical health is necessary, not sufficient.
What do I get with an account?
DeskSEO re-checks your domains on a schedule with the same 20-criteria engine, keeps score history, emails you when the score drops or a new issue appears, pulls your Google Search Console data with average position per query, and can measure whether AI assistants mention your brand. The Free plan covers one domain.
Where does the position data come from?
From your own Google Search Console: average position per query per day, impressions and clicks — numbers Google recorded, not a scraper checking results from one location. You add the DeskSEO service account email as a Restricted user in Search Console, and DeskSEO only shows data after you verify you manage the site.
How do payments work?
DeskSEO uses a prepaid balance in US dollars, topped up with PayPal from $10. Listed prices exclude VAT; VAT 10% is added at top-up. Each top-up is invoiced for the exact amount you pay (VAT included); using your balance for a plan or an AI visibility run is not invoiced again. Top-ups cannot be withdrawn or refunded as cash; every refund goes back to your balance.
Is there a free plan?
Yes: one domain, a weekly check, email alerts when the score drops, and the last 28 days of Search Console with the top 50 queries. The one-off SEO checker and AI bot checker are free without an account.
