What a Website Check Report Looks Like

This is an example report for a fictional business, so you can see what you would receive before you ask for your own. Every name, page and number below is made up.

Fictional example. Juniper Street Bakery and its website (juniperstreetbakery.example) do not exist. Your real report is private, sent only to you by email, and describes only your own public pages.

Sample, fictional business. Not a real customer's report.

Sample overall website score

Good, with worthwhile opportunities

Overall summary (example)

Juniper Street Bakery presents what it sells clearly and has sound technical basics. The biggest opportunities are making it easier to call or order from a phone and filling in the basics search engines look for.

What the score means.

The overall score is a weighted average of eight category scores. Each category starts from objective checks of your public pages (is there a title, is HTTPS on, is there a phone link). AI can move a category score only a limited amount, and only where the evidence is judgement rather than fact. The final numbers are calculated by our own code, not by the AI.

A score describes what could be observed on a few public pages on one day. It is not a ranking, a grade of your business, or a forecast of traffic, leads or sales.

Score bands
ScoreBand
90 to 100Strong foundation
80 to 89Very good foundation
70 to 79Good, with worthwhile opportunities
60 to 69Several areas worth improving
40 to 59Significant opportunities
0 to 39Needs attention

Scorecard, with example evidence.

Each category shows its score, how confident the review is, and the specific thing it saw. The mobile category carries its own limitation note.

First Impression Medium confidence74 / 100

Example evidence: The opening screen names the bakery and what it sells in one headline. The page leads with a photo of bread rather than a clear next step.

Mobile Experience Limited automated mobile assessment70 / 100

Example evidence: A mobile viewport setting is present and images use responsive markup. The phone number is plain text, not a tap-to-call link.

Limited automated mobile assessment. Automated mobile review is limited without a rendered-device inspection.

What the check looked at: a mobile viewport setting in the page code, a tap-to-call phone link, responsive image markup, whether pinch-zoom is allowed, the size of the homepage, whether contact or form controls are present.

Visual mobile rendering was not performed, so how the page actually looks and feels on a phone (layout, text size, spacing and tap targets) was not assessed.

Contact & Calls to Action High confidence68 / 100

Example evidence: A contact form was found, but no tap-to-call link and no “Order” or “Visit” button near the top of the homepage.

Business Information High confidence78 / 100

Example evidence: Address, hours and a phone number are written out on the Contact page. Hours are not on the homepage.

Search Foundations High confidence62 / 100

Example evidence: Page title and one H1 found. The homepage has no meta description, and no sitemap was found.

Search & AI Readability Medium confidence70 / 100

Example evidence: Menu and services are described in plain sentences. No structured business data (schema) was found.

Technical Basics High confidence88 / 100

Example evidence: HTTPS works, the four pages reviewed all loaded, and a language is declared.

Trust Signals Medium confidence60 / 100

Example evidence: No customer reviews or testimonials were found on the pages reviewed, and 6 of 14 images have no description (alt text).

Three next steps, in priority order.

The things most worth your time first.

  1. Add a tap-to-call link and one clear action near the top High impact
    Visitors on a phone decide quickly. The phone number is text only, so calling takes copying and pasting.
    Turn the number into a tap-to-call link and add a single button such as “Order for pickup” or “Visit us” above the fold.
  2. Write a meta description for the homepage and main pages Medium impact
    Without one, a search engine chooses its own snippet. A short description in your words is a chance to say what you sell and where.
    Write about 120 to 155 characters per page that say what the page offers. Do not copy the same text onto every page.
  3. Describe your images and add a sitemap Lower impact
    Image descriptions help people using screen readers and give search engines context. A sitemap lists the pages you want found.
    Add short, specific alt text to the 6 images that lack it, and publish an XML sitemap.

What this check cannot tell you.

Every real report ends with these limits too. They matter more than the number.

  • The check reads up to five public pages of a site. It is not a whole-site crawl.
  • No screenshots were taken and no page was rendered in a browser, so how the site looks on a phone or desktop was not seen.
  • No actual search positions were looked up. A score is not a ranking, and nothing here predicts one.
  • No visitor behavior, conversion rate or sales figures were measured.
  • Server response time is one measurement from our review server. It is not a speed test or a Core Web Vitals score.
  • AI helps write the findings from what the review observed, and it can be imperfect. Scores are informational.

What to do with a report.

Most of it is practical and you can act on it yourself. If you want help, these are the services that fit.

Small fixes

Phone links, descriptions and missing basics are often quick changes to the site you already have. A WestSideSite-hosted site includes small edits.
