Manual SEO checklist & planning worksheet

Keep your site review in one place. Check each task only after you have inspected it yourself, then save the plan for your next work session.

This is a manual checklist. It does not crawl websites, detect plagiarism, check rankings, or award an SEO score. Your notes stay in this tab and are lost when you close it unless you download them.

Evidence, next actions, and review date

Turn observations into one useful change

For example, if a visitor cannot find your image compressor from the home page, record the missing link as evidence. Add a visible link, then try the journey again on a phone. Checking this task records work you completed; it does not predict a ranking increase.

Use the right evidence

Use Google Search Console for your site's search impressions, clicks, and indexing. Use the robots.txt analyzer to inspect pasted directives, the meta tag generator to draft tags, and the schema generator to draft structured data. Review every output before publishing.

Google's SEO Starter Guide explains crawlability, useful content, and search presentation. No checklist can guarantee traffic or search placement.
