Assignment Workflow

How to audit a website for a digital marketing assignment

1

Run the SEO audit

Enter your chosen website URL into the SEO Score Checker. This gives you a full report covering meta tags, heading structure, page speed signals, mobile-friendliness, internal links and schema markup, real data you can screenshot and include in your assignment.

Website SEO Score Checker →
2

Check the domain authority

Use the Domain Authority Checker to find the site's DA score. Include this in your report alongside the audit findings, it gives context to why the site does or doesn't rank well for competitive keywords.

3

Analyze competitor meta tags

Run your chosen brand's top 3-5 pages through the Meta Tag Analyzer. Compare their meta titles and descriptions, are they keyword-optimised? Too long? Missing altogether? This comparative analysis makes for strong assignment content.

Meta Tag Analyzer →
4

Research the domain history

Use WhoIs Lookup to find out when the domain was registered. Domain age is a trust signal for Google, older domains generally rank easier. Include this in your analysis of why a site has the authority it does.

5

Take screenshots for your report

Use the Website Screenshot Generator to capture full-page screenshots of the site you're auditing. Clean, full-page screenshots are much better than partial browser captures for including in written assignments and presentations.

FAQ

Questions from students

Can I use SEO Site Checker for my university assignments? +
Yes, completely. There are no restrictions on using these tools for academic work. The Website SEO Score Checker, Meta Tag Analyzer, Domain Authority Checker, and other tools give you real data from real websites that you can cite and screenshot in your assignments. The tools are used by marketing professionals daily, so the data is legitimate and credible for academic purposes.
Do I need a student email or university account? +
No student email, no university verification, and no special account type required. SEO Site Checker is fully free for everyone, students, professionals and anyone else. There's no separate student plan because the standard free plan already gives you full access to everything. Just visit the site and use any tool immediately.
My course requires Semrush, can I use SEO Site Checker instead? +
For on-page SEO audits, meta tag analysis, domain authority checking, and website analysis assignments. Yes, SEO Site Checker covers these tasks and produces real, credible data. What it doesn't cover is Semrush's keyword research database, rank tracking, and backlink analysis. If your assignment specifically requires data from those features, you'll need Semrush access. Check if your university provides a shared licence, many do. For the audit and analysis portions of assignments, SEO Site Checker works well.
Is the data from SEO Site Checker credible enough to cite in academic work? +
Yes, for the tools that produce analysis based on publicly accessible data like SEO audits, meta tag analysis, WhoIs data and domain authority scores. These are the same data points used in professional SEO work. Domain authority scores are based on Moz's DA metric, which is an industry-standard measure. For academic citations, reference the tool and methodology as you would any analytical tool, and note what data was collected and how.
Can I use the binary and JSON tools on university computers? +
Yes, all tools are browser-based and require no installation. They work on any device with a modern browser, including library computers and university lab machines where you can't install software. This is one of the main reasons developers and students use them. there's nothing to download, configure or set up.
Will I still have access after I graduate? +
Yes, SEO Site Checker is free for everyone, not just students. There's no student pricing tier that expires, no university access that ends when you graduate. The same free tools will be available when you're in your first job, working freelance, or running your own business. The skills you build using these tools carry forward into your career.
