SiteScore is Grow Wild's proprietary SEO health assessment tool that evaluates your website across the technical, content, and authority dimensions that determine organic search performance. Unlike generic website graders that focus on surface-level metrics, SiteScore analyzes the factors that actually influence rankings — giving you a clear, actionable picture of where your site stands and what to fix first.

How SiteScore Works

Multi-Dimensional Assessment

SiteScore evaluates your website across three core dimensions, each weighted based on its impact on organic performance:

• Technical Health (40%): Site speed, Core Web Vitals, mobile responsiveness, crawlability, indexation, SSL, and structured data — the foundation that enables everything else
• Content Quality (35%): On-page optimization, heading structure, keyword usage, content depth, meta tag quality, and internal linking patterns
• Authority Signals (25%): Domain authority, backlink profile quality, referring domain diversity, and brand signal strength

Scoring Methodology

Each dimension receives a score from 0-100, and these are combined into an overall SiteScore grade. The grading scale provides clear benchmarks: 90-100 (Excellent), 80-89 (Good), 60-79 (Needs Improvement), and below 60 (Critical Issues). Most sites score between 45-75 on their first assessment, with significant room for improvement.

Technical Health Analysis

What SiteScore Checks

The technical assessment covers the critical infrastructure elements that determine whether search engines can effectively crawl, render, and index your content:

1. Core Web Vitals: LCP, INP, and CLS scores per our site speed guide
2. Mobile responsiveness: Layout, tap targets, font sizing, and viewport configuration
3. Crawlability: Robots.txt configuration, XML sitemap presence, and crawl depth analysis
4. Indexation health: Pages indexed vs. submitted, coverage errors, and canonical configuration
5. Security: SSL certificate validity, mixed content warnings, and HTTPS enforcement
6. Structured data: Schema markup presence and validation per our schema guide

Content Quality Analysis

SiteScore evaluates on-page content quality across key pages — homepage, service pages, and top-traffic content. The assessment checks title tag optimization, meta description quality, heading hierarchy, keyword integration, content depth relative to competitors, image optimization, and internal linking density. Each element maps directly to our on-page SEO checklist.

Using Your SiteScore Results

Prioritized Action Plan

SiteScore does not just identify problems — it generates a prioritized action plan organized by impact and effort. Critical issues (blocking indexation or causing severe user experience problems) appear first, followed by high-impact optimizations and quick wins.

Use your SiteScore results as the foundation for a comprehensive SEO audit and feed the findings into your technical remediation workflow. Track your SiteScore quarterly to measure improvement over time and ensure technical health does not regress as the site evolves.
