Why 30 pages and not just your home page
Many free checks look at one page. But the problems that hold Google back are often deeper down: a page that isn't allowed to be indexed, a broken link in your menu, duplicate titles on your service pages. That's why RankLantern goes through up to 30 pages, the way Google itself goes through your site.
What the result looks like
A score from 0 to 100, the most important problems at the top, and for each point what it is and what fixing it does.
Example: the check of ranklantern.com itself.
What the check doesn't do
- No positions in Google: for that you connect Search Console in a subscription
- No mobile speed measurement with Google: that comes with a subscription
- No backlink research
- No changes to your site: you get the points, you or we fix them
After the check
You can fix the points yourself with the explanation in the result. Would you like your site to be checked every week after that, with new articles ready as drafts? Look at the pricing page or read how it works for WordPress sites.
See the plansFrequently asked questions
›Is the check really free?
Yes. You pay nothing and you're not tied to anything. You get the result and a short explanation for each point. The full report per page comes with a subscription.
›Why do you ask for my email address?
We send you the link to the result, so you can find it again later. We only email you about it if you tick the box, and the address is deleted after 30 days.
›Does the check change anything on my site?
No. RankLantern reads your public pages, just as Google does. Nothing is changed and nothing is logged into.
›How often can I run a check?
Twice a day from the same address. The same site again on the same day gives the result that's already there.
›How long does it take?
Usually about a minute. A little longer for a slow site; then the result also comes by email.
Shall we look at your site together?
Rather talk first? In half an hour we show you what could be better and how RankLantern takes it on.
What happens after your request
- 1. You pick a time that suits you in the calendar.
- 2. You get a confirmation by email with the link for the call.
- 3. We look at your site together for 30 minutes, free and without obligation.
