Grade my FAQ — score your live page out of 100
Paste your URL. We'll scan the page, check eight things that actually matter for SEO and visitor experience, give you a grade, and tell you exactly what to fix. Free, no signup.
What we score, and why
FAQ section detected (20 pts). No FAQ section means no FAQ schema, no rich result eligibility, and no deflected support tickets. This is the foundation — if you fail it, fix it first.
FAQ schema present (20 pts). Even if Google has narrowed FAQ rich results in the main search results, the schema still feeds AI Overviews, People Also Ask, voice assistants, and other engines. It's cheap to add and loses you nothing.
Schema structural validity (15 pts). Missing acceptedAnswer fields, wrong @type values, empty questions — small mistakes that make the schema useless. Our validator gives a per-question breakdown of these.
Question count, answer length (20 pts combined). Five to fifteen questions is the sweet spot — enough coverage, little enough to scan. Answers should be one or two sentences before optional detail; too short fails to answer, too long loses skimmers.
Mobile viewport (10 pts). Without a viewport meta tag, your FAQ looks broken on phones. Most traffic is mobile. This is a one-line fix and a hard fail if missing.
FAQ position on the page (10 pts). Burying your FAQ at the bottom of a long page wastes its support and SEO value. Either move it up or link to it from your hero.
Schema-vs-visible match (5 pts). Google's explicit guidance: the FAQ schema must reflect content visible on the same page. Mismatches are the most common reason valid schema doesn't earn anything.
Frequently asked questions
What does the FAQ audit actually check?
Eight things: whether your page has a visible FAQ section, whether it has FAQPage schema, whether that schema is structurally valid, whether the question count is in a useful range (5-15), whether answer length is in a readable range, whether the page declares a mobile viewport, where on the page the FAQ sits (top vs buried), and whether the schema roughly matches the visible content count.
How is the 100-point score calculated?
Each of the 8 checks has a maximum weight (20, 20, 15, 10, 10, 10, 10, 5). You score the full max for a pass, partial for a near-miss, and zero for a fail. Weights reflect impact — having an FAQ section at all is worth 20 points; having the schema match the visible content exactly is worth 5.
My score is in the 60s — is that good?
It's working but leaving real value on the table. Most sites scoring 60-75 are missing schema, have answers that are too short or buried at the bottom of the page, or have a schema-vs-visible mismatch. The fixes are usually mechanical.
Why didn't you find my FAQ?
Most common reasons: the FAQ is rendered by JavaScript and not in the page HTML (we don't run JS); the page returned an error or blocked our crawler; or there's genuinely no FAQ-like content on the URL you gave us. Try the canonical URL of your FAQ page, not a redirect.
Will this hurt my SEO?
No. We make a single GET request with a clearly identified user agent. We don't write anything, we don't store the page, and the request looks like a normal browser visit.
Can I run this on competitors' sites?
Yes — the tool works on any publicly accessible URL. People do this to benchmark, and to spot what competitors are doing well that they're not.
