Enter the term you want to rank for and get tailored, ready-to-use guidance for every placement point on your page.
Every item here is within your direct control. Complete these before publishing any page you want to rank.
Technical issues silently block rankings. Work through this list once for the whole site, then revisit after major changes.
What happens outside your site matters. Backlinks, brand signals, and authority all contribute to where you rank.
If your business serves a specific geographic area, this stage is essential. Skip it if you operate entirely online with no physical location.
Content is the long-term engine of organic traffic. This stage covers strategy, structure, and ongoing optimisation.
The SEO Ranking Wizard is a free, browser-only 6-stage SEO checklist tool that guides you through every layer of search engine optimisation — from keyword placement on a single page, to technical site health, off-page authority, local visibility, and long-term content strategy. Enter your target keyword in Stage 1 and the tool generates tailored, ready-to-use examples for H1 tags, H2 headings, meta titles, meta descriptions, LSI terms, image alt texts, and more. All 6 stages work independently — jump to any stage at any time. Your progress is saved locally in your browser.
This wizard replaces scattered notes and generic SEO advice with a structured, actionable checklist. Stage 1 is dynamic — it reads the keyword you type and generates specific, realistic copy examples tailored to your topic. Stages 2 through 6 are comprehensive checklists covering every recognised SEO factor, each with a short explanation of what the task is and why it matters. Complete items as you go, add notes, paste your finished work, and watch your SEO readiness score climb from 0 to 100%.
Effective SEO is not a single task — it's a layered system. Stage 1 handles keyword placement on your individual page. Stage 2 completes the full on-page checklist (canonical tags, schema, internal linking). Stage 3 audits technical health (speed, mobile, Core Web Vitals, XML sitemap). Stage 4 covers off-page signals (backlinks, brand mentions, directory listings). Stage 5 addresses local SEO for businesses with a geographic service area. Stage 6 builds the content strategy that compounds traffic over time.
SEO has hundreds of ranking factors. A checklist ensures nothing is overlooked, creates a consistent process across every page you publish, and provides a measurable way to track how optimised a page really is. The scoring system in this wizard gives you an objective readiness score — not a vague "good" or "needs work", but a concrete percentage based on how many tasks are done. This puts you in the best possible position to rank; no tool or checklist can guarantee specific rankings, but thoroughness dramatically improves your odds.
No. All 6 stages are available at any time. Most people start with Stage 1 (keyword placement) and Stage 2 (on-page checklist) for a new page, then work through Stages 3–6 at the site level. The wizard saves your progress in your browser so you can return to any stage whenever you're ready.
No. The SEO Wizard runs 100% in your browser. It does not ping Google, check rankings, or send any data to a server. All guidance is generated locally based on the keyword you type. For live data (rankings, backlinks, crawl reports), you'll need external tools like Google Search Console, Ahrefs, or Semrush.
No tool or person can guarantee rankings — search results depend on hundreds of factors including competition, domain authority, and Google's constantly evolving algorithm. What this wizard does is ensure your page is fully optimised: you will have done everything within your control to give it the best possible chance of ranking well.
Yes. All checkboxes, notes, pasted content, and your saved keyword are stored in your browser's localStorage. They persist across sessions and browser restarts. Clearing your browser's site data or using private/incognito mode will reset the wizard.
The wizard currently holds one active keyword session. If you want to work on a different page, click "Generate SEO Guidance" with a new keyword — the generated examples will update. Note that changing the keyword does not reset your checklist progress in Stages 2–6, since those items apply at the site and page level regardless of keyword.
