How to know if your SEO is good

What the SEO score measures, why it moves, and how it connects to the visitors you actually convert.

"Is my SEO good?" has a real answer, and it doesn't require an agency audit. Every Bloomlight audit grades each page's SEO from 0 to 100. Here's what goes into that number and how to read it.

What the SEO score measures

The score checks the fundamentals search engines rely on to understand and rank your page: a meaningful title and description, headings in a sensible order, links that can be crawled, images with alt text, text that's legible on a phone, and no accidental "don't index me" signals. Each miss shows up as a finding, so a low score always comes with a to-do list.

What counts as good?

For SEO specifically, aim high: 90+. Most SEO checks are pass/fail housekeeping, and there's rarely a structural reason a page can't clear them. Anything under 90 usually means a handful of quick fixes are waiting in your findings.

Why it matters beyond rankings

The same basics that help you rank also help you convert. A clear title and description are your ad in the search results, and they decide whether someone clicks. Mobile legibility and fast loads decide whether they stay. When your SEO and performance scores climb together, more visitors arrive and more of them stick around to become customers.

Keep perspective

The score measures technical readiness. It can't tell you whether your words persuade. Treat it as the foundation: clear the technical findings first, then judge content with the approach in Is your content doing its job?.
