Hubspot’s Website Grader – what is your SEO score?
Posted on 21 March 2008 by Russ
I can’t keep it a secret any more. There is a great tool available for free to grade your website’s (or blog’s) SEO score. This awesome tool is provided by a SEO and inbound marketing company called HubSpot. You can go to Website Grader and put your site in, along with your main keywords and a few of your competitors, to see where you stack up.
What to expect? Website Grader measures quite a few SEO characteristics, each of which is pretty important. In addition measuring the relevance of the content, the readability of the content as well as meta information, it also evaluates things like Google page rank, Alexa traffic rank, Diggs and other inbound links. Measuring, tracking and improving each of these elements will help your website (or blog) become more popular in the search engines.
Why on earth would I tell my customers about this? First of all understand that the first thing I do when evaluating a prospect customers as a good SEO client, is run their URL through Website Grader. I often print and show them the results. I have found that the information is more valuable to them, when they can see that it is coming from a non-bias, third party. Most of the time, my customers have no idea how to improve in any or all of these areas, so it helps me explain what the SEO picture looks like, without sounding too much like a “sales-guy.” Las thing is, if you find HubSpot through my site, and you decide to hire them, not me for SEO, please make sure you mention my name to them.

Hey very nice blog!!
April 30th, 2009 at 10:41 am
Great work! I also have my own blog I just find it hard to write quality content like this.
I guess I really don’t have the time.
May 5th, 2009 at 6:02 pm
Website Grader is a good tool, thanks for sharing.
There are also other free tools than do essentially the same or very similar job, e.g. seoquake and seobook plugins for firefox. I use them quite often and they are great.

I use this as a sales tool to convince my prospects that they need my seo services. It is pretty convincing I have to admit. My website score is a 92 what’s yours? Hubspot is not really an SEO company per say, more of a conversion management system that you use yourself so I don’t think we will loose many clients to them.
July 25th, 2009 at 5:10 am
Haha – you don’t see posts like this too often
July 27th, 2009 at 4:26 pm

I love comments… I just started my blog a week ago, and have already received comments from a few people. (TechnoSpud and Cool Cat Teacher, of course) Wow!! How rewarding is that??
December 25th, 2009 at 5:49 pm
I think the real reason people pay so much for SEO is that they don’t have time or the inclination to learn–they have too much going on with the business they’re running and can’t stop to devote the time. It’s another case where busy people pay a premium for the stuff they could do themselves. Like freelance tax issues–I pay for my taxes to be professionally done, even though it’s no real mystery how to do it. Sad, eh?
December 30th, 2009 at 4:02 pm
Kudos for giving such a terrific site. Your website is not only informative but also bvery imaginative too. We find very few experts who can write not so easy stuff that creatively. A lot of people look for knowledge on this subject. We ourselves went over dozens of blogs to find information with regard to this.We look forward to much more !!
December 30th, 2009 at 5:44 pm
Kudos for hosting such a useful site. Your weblog is not only informative but also very artistic too. There are only few bloggers who can write technical articles that creatively.

I loved reading your post. I am very glad i went through your post. Good work. Keep up the good work.
January 3rd, 2010 at 5:26 am
I hadn’t yet to think about the plainly simple ways the big G works. The truth of the thing is that a spider “indexes” your page multiple times, it still takes a metric tonne of due effort on your part in order to get a site to become interesting to the spiders. This adds to my understanding of search engines.
January 6th, 2010 at 4:02 pm
I found your site on technorati and read a few of your other posts. Keep up the good work. I just added your RSS feed to my Google News Reader. Looking forward to reading more from you down the road!

If you want to grow the traffic to your website then a great way to do this is by utilizing a nice social bookmarking tool to automate the process. Having a automatic bookmarking software is essential, because this means you can save an average of 3-4 hours a day, or possibly an average of $200/month in bookmarking expenses while you generate the greatest results in terms of traffic and Page Rank increase.

I think the real reason people pay so much for SEO is that they have more with them so a simple loss will not effect them.

A rather useful site. I’ve been using it for some time now, at http://www.meusfilmes.com with some success.
Bear in mind that a small website MAY get a lot less visitors than a large one and STILL have a greater websitegrader score because what this site mainly measures is the POTENTIAL for visibility in search engines. A larger website may indeed get a lot more visitors, but be built in such a way that crawlers will have a hard time indexing it.
