Frequently asked

Do I need to install anything on my server?

No. SEO by Daniel crawls your public pages over HTTP. There is no plugin, tag, or script to add.

Which sites can I add?

Any domain you own or have permission to scan. Permission matters because the crawl sends automated requests to the server.

How many domains can I monitor?

It depends on your plan. The pricing page lists the current limits. Every plan starts with a 14-day trial and no credit card.

What if a scan finds nothing wrong?

That is a clean result. Keep the scan schedule running so a template change does not quietly introduce a regression.

Search rankings depend on many factors

SEO by Daniel identifies on-page and technical issues that align with Google's published guidance. It does not modify your site, submit pages to search engines, or influence rankings directly. Fixing flagged issues may create better conditions for ranking, but search results depend on hundreds of signals including domain authority, content quality, and competition.
