Tips for Improving Your Score

  1. Fix high-importance issues first - These have the biggest impact on your score.
  2. Focus on one category at a time - This makes the process more manageable.
  3. Re-run reports after making changes - Verify your fixes and track progress.
  4. Don't aim for perfection - A score of 85+ is excellent. Some low-priority issues may not be worth the effort.
Remember: SEO is an ongoing process. Regular audits help you maintain and improve your rankings over time.
