How this works

What this tool does

It audits a page or pasted HTML for answer-engine signals: good titles, meta descriptions, Open Graph, JSON-LD, robots directives, sitemaps, and (optionally) an /answers.jsonl feed. The goal: make your content eligible, understandable, and linkable for engines that summarize answers.

Checklist this tool runs

  • Title present, ~10–70 chars, clearly answers a query.
  • Meta description present, ~50–160 chars, no keyword stuffing.
  • Open Graph (og:title, og:description) for share cards.
  • JSON-LD present and parseable (FAQPage, HowTo, SoftwareApplication, etc.).
  • Robots does not contain noindex.
  • Sitemaps are declared; /sitemap.xml serves your index.
  • Optional: /answers.jsonl exists (LLM feed).

How to interpret results

  • Anything red is a block or a big drag on eligibility. Fix those first.
  • Yellow items (e.g., too-short description) are optimizations.
  • Passing all checks won't guarantee ranking, but failing a few can guarantee invisibility.

Quick wins

  • Write question-shaped H1s and intros that directly answer, then expand.
  • Use schema that matches intent (FAQPage for Q&A, HowTo for steps, Product/SoftwareApplication for tools).
  • Link out and in — related internal pages help engines map context.

Caveats

  • CORS may block the fetch; paste HTML instead.
  • Engines change; this focuses on timeless basics, not hacks.
  • Don't spam schema; keep it truthful to visible content.
