The honest SEO check
for your website.
30 checks based on real SEO rules, a clear report — and if you want, the autopilot fixes the issues for you right away.
10 checks today per visitor — after that, the workshop closes for the day.
The workshop explains SEO
Why your title is your most valuable ad space
The page title is the clickable blue text in Google results. It appears for every one of your pages — and decides within a second whether someone clicks you or the competitor below.
The workshop formula: most important keyword first, concrete benefit in the middle, brand name at the end. Between 30 and 60 characters — then Google shows it in full.
- Wrong: „Welcome to our website“ — tells Google and visitors nothing
- Right: „Tennis for kids in Lübeck — free trial session“
- Verify: search your page on Google and see how the title really looks
Why load time loses visitors before they see you
After 3 seconds of loading, half your visitors are gone — back to the competition. The biggest share is server response time (TTFB) plus image sizes.
The workshop measures your server response in milliseconds and checks whether your images are in the modern WebP format. Both are usually fixed in an afternoon: enable caching, convert images, done.
- Target: server response under 800 ms — the workshop measures it live
- Images in WebP instead of JPG: same picture, up to 80 % smaller
- Free helper: Cloudflare free accelerates pages worldwide
ChatGPT & Co: the new search engine nobody watches
More and more people ask ChatGPT or Perplexity instead of Google. These AI systems read the web with their own crawlers — if you block them, you don't exist to them.
The workshop checks your robots.txt and shows whether AI crawlers (GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot) are locked out. Plus: FAQ content with schema markup makes your site citable for AI answers.
- Blocked AI crawlers = invisible in ChatGPT answers
- FAQ sections with schema markup are preferred citation sources
- Clear structure (H1, H2, short answers) helps machines understand you
Local search: the biggest lever for clubs and small businesses
„Tennis club Lübeck“, „pizzeria near me“ — local searches have the clearest intent, and competition is often weaker than for big generic terms.
Three levers, all free: a Google Business Profile with photos and opening hours, local wording in titles and content („in Lübeck“, not „near us“), and listings in local directories for backlinks.
- Google Business Profile: free, often more traffic than the website itself
- Location in title and H1 brings local searches straight to you
- Directories and partners deliver your first backlinks
Frequently asked questions
What exactly does RankWerkstatt check?
30 checks in 6 areas: titles and meta data, page structure (H1, alt texts, links), social previews (Open Graph), technology (HTTPS, robots.txt, sitemap, status codes), structured data and AI visibility (are ChatGPT & Co blocked?), plus speed (server response, compression, image formats).
Is the check really free?
Yes. The scan and the score overview are free, no sign-up needed. The full report with all instructions, the AI briefing and the strategy analysis is unlocked once for €2.99.
What happens after I buy?
The report unlocks immediately — unlimited reading, shareable link, print view for PDF. You can also use the autopilot, which applies fixes like robots.txt and sitemap automatically on your website.
How fast will I see results?
Technical fixes (title, description, load time) often show within days. Content and backlinks take weeks. Recommendation: rescan after 2 weeks and compare positions.
Why is my position for a keyword bad?
Google weighs 200+ signals. The most common reasons: the term barely appears in your content, your page has few backlinks, or competitors have more substance. The strategy section shows which terms have such weaknesses.
Is the autopilot safe?
Yes: before any change, a backup copy of the original file is stored, every change is shown to you in detail for individual approval. One click reverts everything to the original state.
