What SEO reports judge

Every SEO report makes the same fixed set of judgments about the page and its target keyword - its checks. These are deliberately the questions only comparing the page against the live search results can answer; the mechanical facts (meta tags, indexability, page speed) are covered by Silktide's regular checks. Because every page is judged against the same set, results can be compared across pages.

• Content is coherent
• Page type fits the search intent
• Target keyword is winnable
• One page owns the keyword
• Covers the topic in real depth
• No obvious competitor advantage
• Title promise is kept
• Snippet competes for the click
• As current as the results demand
• Speaks the searcher's language
• Reads naturally, not for engines
• Expertise the query demands
• Adds something the results lack

Each check has a fixed priority, and the page's SEO score is computed from these judgments - every point lost corresponds to a flagged check you can see.
