Getting Started with SEO Analysis
The fastest way to get started is to visit the SEO Analyzer and paste your website URL. The analyzer will automatically crawl your sitemap, parse your robots.txt file, inspect meta tags on every indexed page, and generate a comprehensive SEO report. The report includes an overall score, individual page breakdowns, and prioritized recommendations. Each recommendation includes specific implementation steps — such as correcting title tag length, adding missing meta descriptions, fixing canonical URL conflicts, or implementing structured data markup.
Understanding Your SEO Score
Your SEO score is calculated across multiple weighted categories: on-page optimization (title tags, meta descriptions, heading hierarchy), technical SEO (HTTPS, robots.txt, sitemap, canonical URLs), content quality (keyword density, readability, word count), and social readiness (Open Graph tags, Twitter Cards). The Site Audit Tool provides a deeper technical breakdown, while the Meta Inspector gives you a bird's-eye view of meta tag health across all pages.
Advanced Tools & Workflows
For users looking to go beyond basic analysis, FlatSEO offers a full suite of specialized tools. Use the Keyword Research Tool to discover long-tail opportunities from Google Autocomplete data, classified by search intent and difficulty. The Backlink Checker evaluates your internal and external link profile, social presence, and structured data signals.
