How long until I get my report?

The Quick Scan is typically under 60 seconds. Paid reports are generated and emailed within 2–3 minutes of payment.

9 categories: SEO & Search Visibility, Website Performance & Speed, Mobile Experience, Security & Privacy, Accessibility, Content & Messaging, Technical Health, Trust & Credibility, and Local SEO & Google Business. Each category is scored independently, and we provide specific evidence and fix instructions for every issue found.

Do I need technical knowledge?

Not at all. Reports are written in plain language with prioritized, step-by-step recommendations. Each issue is labeled with who can fix it, and many are things you can do yourself without touching code.

How accurate is the analysis?

We analyze your actual live website, checking real page speed, real HTML structure, and real content. Every finding comes with specific evidence from your site, so you can verify it yourself.

Absolutely. We only use your email to deliver your report. No spam, no sharing with third parties. We analyze publicly accessible pages (the same thing Google sees). We never store passwords, we don't access admin panels, and we never sell your data. All connections are encrypted with 256-bit SSL. See our Privacy Policy for full details.

Can I see a sample report before buying?

Yes! Check out our interactive demo report to see exactly what a full audit looks like, with real findings, evidence, and fix instructions you can explore.

How do I cancel my subscription?

You can cancel anytime from your dashboard. Just click "Manage Subscription" to open the billing portal. Your audit access continues until the end of your current billing period.
