Without one, Google picks its own text for your search result, and it is often a poor choice.
What to do: Add a description of 70 to 160 characters that says what the page offers and why to click.
How to fix this: How to write page titles and meta descriptionsWhen someone shares the page, the preview will look bare or use the wrong image.
What to do: Add Open Graph tags: og:title, og:description and an og:image of 1200 × 630 pixels.
Paste inside the <head> of the page. Replace the image address with a picture of 1200 by 630 pixels.
<meta property="og:type" content="website"> <meta property="og:title" content="Home Page - Scorecard Research"> <meta property="og:description" content="Describe this page in one or two sentences."> <meta property="og:url" content="https://www.scorecardresearch.com/Home.aspx"> <meta property="og:image" content="https://www.scorecardresearch.com/your-preview-image.png"> <meta name="twitter:card" content="summary_large_image">
There is no structured data, so an assistant has to guess what the business is from loose text.
What to do: Add schema.org markup for the organisation, plus the type that fits the page: Product, Service, Article, FAQPage or SoftwareApplication.
Paste inside the <head> of the page. Fill in the name and logo address.
<script type="application/ld+json">
{
"@context": "https://schema.org",
"@type": "Organization",
"name": "scorecardresearch.com",
"url": "https://www.scorecardresearch.com",
"logo": "https://www.scorecardresearch.com/your-logo.png"
}
</script>When pages share a title, search engines cannot tell which one to show, and searchers cannot tell them apart.
What to do: Rewrite each title so it describes that page specifically.
Google will choose its own snippet for these pages, often a poor one.
What to do: Add a description of 70 to 160 characters to each page.
Pages under about 200 words rarely rank for anything.
What to do: Expand these pages with useful detail, merge them into a stronger page, or hide them from search.
Pages with little text rarely rank for anything beyond the brand name.
What to do: Add useful text: what you offer, who it is for, prices, answers to common questions.
How to fix this: Thin content: what it is and how to fix itA single H1 tells search engines what each page is about.
What to do: Give each page exactly one H1 that states its topic.
Images without alt text are invisible to search engines and to screen-reader users.
What to do: Add a short alt description to each meaningful image. Use an empty alt for purely decorative ones.
How to fix this: Image SEO: alt text, file size and layout shiftA sitemap lists every page so search engines find them all, including new ones.
What to do: Generate a sitemap.xml and submit it in Google Search Console.
Save as sitemap.xml at the top level of the site, then submit https://www.scorecardresearch.com/sitemap.xml in Google Search Console. It lists only the pages this audit read; add the rest.

These scripts must download and run before anything is shown.
What to do: Add defer or async to scripts in the page head, or move them to the end.
How to fix this: Core Web Vitals: how to make a slow website fastWithout it, copies of the page (with tracking codes, for example) can compete with each other in search.
What to do: Add a canonical link pointing at the page’s preferred address.
Paste inside the <head> of the page.
<link rel="canonical" href="https://www.scorecardresearch.com/Home.aspx">
Structured data lets Google show extras such as ratings, prices, opening hours and FAQs in your result.
What to do: Add schema.org markup that fits the business (Organization, LocalBusiness, Product, FAQ).
Paste inside the <head> of the page. Fill in the name and logo address.
<script type="application/ld+json">
{
"@context": "https://schema.org",
"@type": "Organization",
"name": "scorecardresearch.com",
"url": "https://www.scorecardresearch.com",
"logo": "https://www.scorecardresearch.com/your-logo.png"
}
</script>These headers protect visitors from downgrade and content-sniffing attacks. Browsers and security scanners look for them.
What to do: Have the web server send Strict-Transport-Security and X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff on every response.
For an Apache server, add to the .htaccess file. On other servers, ask your host to send these two headers.
Header always set Strict-Transport-Security "max-age=31536000" Header always set X-Content-Type-Options "nosniff"
Only 0 H2 subheadings found.
What to do: Break the page into sections with H2 subheadings that use the words people search for.
How to fix this: How to write page titles and meta descriptionsThis small file tells search engines what they may crawl.
What to do: Add a robots.txt at the root of the site that allows crawling and names your sitemap.
Save as a file named robots.txt at the top level of the site, so it opens at https://www.scorecardresearch.com/robots.txt.
User-agent: * Allow: / Sitemap: https://www.scorecardresearch.com/sitemap.xml
The server did not report compressing the page.
What to do: Turn on gzip or Brotli compression on the server or host.
How to fix this: Core Web Vitals: how to make a slow website fastLinks shared on X will show as plain text.
What to do: Add a twitter:card meta tag (summary_large_image works for most pages).
Paste inside the <head> of the page. Replace the image address with a picture of 1200 by 630 pixels.
<meta property="og:type" content="website"> <meta property="og:title" content="Home Page - Scorecard Research"> <meta property="og:description" content="Describe this page in one or two sentences."> <meta property="og:url" content="https://www.scorecardresearch.com/Home.aspx"> <meta property="og:image" content="https://www.scorecardresearch.com/your-preview-image.png"> <meta name="twitter:card" content="summary_large_image">
Assistants quote pages that state a question and answer it plainly. This page has no question-style headings.
What to do: Add a short section of real customer questions as headings, each answered in two or three sentences.
How to fix this: AI search readiness: how to be found by AI assistantsThe page does not declare a favicon.
What to do: Add a favicon link so your brand shows in tabs, bookmarks and mobile results.
Paste inside the <head> of the page. Put the icon file at that address first.
<link rel="icon" href="/favicon.ico">
An optional plain-text summary of the site for AI assistants. It is cheap to add, but there is no evidence yet that it changes how often a site is cited.
What to do: Optionally add /llms.txt with a short description of the site and links to its most important pages.
Optional. Save as llms.txt at the top level of the site. Edit the first lines to describe what you do.

Step 2 · Ads
Ads only pay off when the site can measure what they bring in. We look for tracking tags in the page code; tags that load later, through a consent banner or tag manager, will not show up here.
Without analytics you cannot see where visitors come from or what they do. A Tag Manager container is present, so it may be loaded from there, which this check cannot see.
What to do: Set up Google Analytics 4 and add its tag to every page.
