You don’t need another dashboard to keep up with. You need a little clarity about what’s working, what may need attention, and where to look next.
The homepage
Your place
in search
AI suggests up to two searches from your homepage’s services and locations. We check a small sample of Google results for your website and one search competitor.

Practical notes for a better website review.
Clarity on the homepage
Can a first-time visitor tell what you do, where you work, and how to get in touch?
A clear answer near the top of the page is a useful foundation for both customers and search engines.
The local details
Does your website describe the places and people your business actually serves?
Specific service information and consistent contact details give a deeper local SEO review somewhere useful to begin.
The next click
When someone is ready to call or book, how much work do they have to do?
Check the experience on a phone. A visible contact option and a short, usable form can make the next step easier.
Clarity on the homepage
Read the score
in context.
Your score combines homepage SEO, search rankings, and Google AI visibility.
- Homepage SEO · 40%. The homepage check score, scaled to 40 points.
- Search rankings · 40%. Average points across the searches checked: #1 earns 100, #2 earns 90, down to 10 for #10. Lower positions or absence from the checked first-page results earn zero.
- Google AI visibility · 20%. 20 points if at least one citation to your website was found; zero if none was found in the completed searches, including when Google returned no AI Overview.
The score stays out of 100. Unavailable sections earn no points and are marked “Unverified”; this does not mean your website failed those checks. Incomplete reports are labeled “Partial score.” Older reports use their saved keyword data. Competitor counts and search volume do not affect the score. This is our scoring method, not a Google score.
Based on your saved report.
The score uses the data already collected for your website. It does not run another scan. Search and AI findings apply only to this sample; they do not measure every search or AI platform.

Good
questions.
A little more about this free SEO checker and what happens next.
Is this SEO checker really free?
Yes. You can view a limited, one-time snapshot without entering your email. Each website gets one original report, which is saved and shown again on future visits. For a deeper review and help making improvements, you can contact us separately.
Can I refresh my snapshot after making changes?
The free snapshot is created once per website. Returning to this page shows the original report with its original date; it does not run another check or track changes over time. Request a deeper review if you would like us to assess improvements and next steps.
What does the SEO score mean?
Our snapshot score combines homepage SEO (40%), search rankings (40%), and Google AI visibility (20%). Unavailable sections earn no points, so incomplete data lowers the score. It is our review rubric, not a Google score or a full-site audit.
Why might my rankings or AI visibility be missing?
New snapshots check a first-page sample for up to two AI-suggested service searches. Your website may not appear in that sample, an AI Overview may not be available, or a source may fail. Older saved reports use indexed keyword data. Missing data does not mean your website never ranks or has no AI visibility.
Is this a local Google Maps ranking check?
No. The search sample covers organic search data for the United States, not live Google Maps positions near a specific address. Local visibility needs a separate review of your Google Business Profile, service area, and competition.
Can you help improve my website’s SEO?
Yes. Lincoln City Websites helps businesses in Lincoln City, along the Oregon Coast, and remotely with website repairs, useful content, local SEO, and conversion improvements. We review your current platform and agree on the scope before work begins.
What happens to the URL and contact information I enter?
We retain your public website address and original report indefinitely to provide this one-time snapshot and support website research. We may also use them in a follow-up review you request. We share the website address with third-party SEO data and website-analysis providers to prepare the report. We also share short public homepage text snippets with AI providers to suggest search terms, which we check with SEO data providers. Anyone entering the same address can view the saved report; it does not refresh. Only submit a public business website without private links or access tokens. Contact details are optional. If you submit your email for a deeper review, we store it with the website address to respond to your inquiry. You are not subscribed to marketing emails.
