Frequently asked questions
What are SEO tools used for?
SEO (search engine optimisation) tools help search engines find, read and understand your pages. Generators create the files and tags search engines look for, and checkers test an existing page and point out what to fix.
Do I need technical skills?
No. Each tool explains its results in plain language and tells you what to change. You only need to be able to edit your site or ask whoever manages it.
Will these tools improve my rankings?
They help you avoid common technical mistakes, but no tool can promise a ranking. Search results also depend on how useful your content is and who links to you.
Which SEO tool should I use first?
Start with the Meta Tag Generator for your key pages, then create a robots.txt file and an XML sitemap. After that, add schema markup and run the checkers before launch.
How often should I check my site?
Run the checkers after any big change, such as a redesign, a move to a new address or a new plugin, and every few months for important pages.
Do the checkers see what Google sees?
They read the page the way many crawlers do first: the HTML your server sends. Content added only by JavaScript after the page loads is not included, so treat the results as a strong guide, not an exact copy of Google.
