Our suggested order: biggest obstacles first, quickest first among equals. The effect of each fix is not measured. 1 takes minutes.
Step 1 · Organic
Everything here was observed on the site. Fixing it removes a known obstacle; no one can promise a specific ranking in return.
Observed · AdnaveBot's reading of 12 pages on 2026-11-12 · each finding is what we saw on those pages; “what to do”, the score and the order are our judgment
These addresses are linked from your own pages but return an error. Visitors hit a dead end and search engines waste their visit.
What to do: Fix the link, restore the page, or redirect the old address to the closest live page.
robots.txt tells these assistants to stay out, so they cannot read or cite your pages. That is a legitimate choice, but it removes you from their answers.
What to do: If you want to appear in AI answers, remove the Disallow rules for these crawlers in robots.txt.
How to fix this: AI search readiness: how to be found by AI assistantsWhen 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.
A single H1 tells search engines what each page is about.
What to do: Give each page exactly one H1 that states its topic.
That is heavy for the page code alone, before any images load.
What to do: Remove unused code and inline data, and load non-essential parts later.
How to fix this: Core Web Vitals: how to make a slow website fastThe site links to an old address that then redirects. Each one adds a wasted step for visitors and crawlers.
What to do: Update the links to point at the final address.
Search engines and screen readers use a link's words to understand the page it leads to. “Learn more” tells them nothing.
What to do: Reword each link to name its destination, for example “See our pricing” instead of “Learn more”.
A field with no label is announced to screen-reader users as just “edit text”, and placeholder text disappears as soon as someone types. Clear labels also raise form completion.
What to do: Give each field a <label for="its-id">, or an aria-label if the design has no room for visible text.
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 fastAn 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.

Subheadings help readers and search engines scan the page.
The page gives search engines real content to work with.
Alt text helps image search and screen-reader users.
Without the doctype line, browsers fall back to an old rendering mode and layouts can break.
Without it, accented letters and symbols can show as garbled text, in the browser and in search results.
Search engines treat this kind of redirect as a weak signal and visitors see a flash of the old page. It also breaks the back button.
Headings are the page's outline. When levels are skipped (a heading 2 followed by a heading 4), screen readers and search engines get a broken outline.
An icon-only link or button with no text is invisible to screen readers and tells search engines nothing about where it leads.
hreflang tags tell search engines which language version to show each searcher. A set that leaves out the page itself, or the fallback, is often ignored as a whole.
Visitors and search engines get a secure connection.
Nothing on the page blocks it from being indexed.
The page declares a mobile viewport.

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.
How to fix this: What to set up before you spend on adsGoogle Ads cannot learn which clicks turn into customers without it. A Tag Manager container is present, so it may be loaded from there, which this check cannot see.
What to do: Create a conversion action in Google Ads and add the tag, or import conversions from Analytics.
