SEO Checklist Generator
A page-type-aware SEO checklist with a weighted readiness score, per-category breakdown, and per-item deep links into the exact consolelog.tools that complete each task. Check items off (progress is saved in the URL — shareable with your team), filter by priority, and export to Markdown, CSV, or JSON.
About this ToolHow it works, benefits & use casesTap to collapse
The SEO Checklist Generator builds a page-type-aware audit you can actually work through. Pick a page type — homepage, blog post, product page, landing page, or general — and it assembles the relevant items from a master checklist spanning ten categories: titles & meta, content & keywords, structured data, technical SEO, performance & Core Web Vitals, mobile & UX, images & media, links, social & sharing, and international. Every item carries a priority badge (critical, high, medium, or low), a short note on why it matters, and a concrete how-to — and most link straight to the exact consolelog.tools tool that completes it, like the Meta Tags, Schema Markup, OG Image, or Hreflang generators. As you tick items off, a priority-weighted readiness score (critical counts ×10 down to low ×1, so high-impact gaps move the needle most), a per-category breakdown, and a “Next up” list of your highest-impact unchecked items all update live. Your progress is encoded in the page URL, so you can bookmark it or share the exact state with a teammate, and you can export the whole checklist — ticks and priorities included — as Markdown, CSV, or JSON.
How to Use
- 1Pick a page type — Homepage, Blog post, Product page, Landing page, or General — to load the items that apply to it.
- 2Work down each category, ticking items as you complete them; each item shows why it matters and a concrete how-to.
- 3Follow an item’s deep link to jump straight to the consolelog.tools tool that completes it (Meta Tags, Schema Markup, OG Image, Hreflang, and more).
- 4Watch the weighted readiness score, per-category bars, and the “Next up” list update live, and filter by priority to focus on what matters most.
- 5Copy or share the page URL to hand off your exact progress, or export the checklist as Markdown, CSV, or JSON. Use Reset to start over.
Key Benefits
- Page-type-aware: shows only the items that apply to a homepage, blog post, product, landing, or general page
- Priority-weighted readiness score — critical items count ×10 down to low ×1, so it reflects real impact, not just item count
- Per-category weighted breakdown plus a “Next up” list of your highest-priority unchecked items
- Most items deep-link to the exact consolelog.tools tool that fixes them
- Every item explains why it matters and how to do it, with a critical/high/medium/low badge
- Progress is encoded in the page URL — bookmark it or share the exact state with a teammate
- Export the checklist with ticks and priorities as Markdown, CSV, or JSON
Common Use Cases
- Auditing a blog post before publishing for title, meta description, author/date signals, and internal links
- Reviewing a product page for Product/Offer structured data, optimised images, and the technical essentials
- Running a launch-day landing-page check and sharing the URL so the whole team sees the same progress
- Driving a multilingual site’s hreflang and canonical setup from one prioritised list
- Exporting a CSV or JSON checklist to attach to a PR, ticket, or audit report as a definition of done

0/1A checklist that scores risk — and fixes it
Not every SEO task carries the same weight. A missing <title> or noindex can sink a page; a missing loading="lazy" won’t. This checklist weights each item by priority (critical ×10 down to low ×1) into a single readiness score, so you always know what to fix first. The “Do these next” panel surfaces your highest-impact gaps, and each item links straight to the consolelog.tools that completes it — generate Open Graph tags, build structured data, fix your canonical, or create a sitemap without leaving the workflow.
Tailored to your page type
Pick homepage, blog post, product, landing page, or general and the list adapts — product pages get Product/Offer schema, articles get author and date signals, and multi-language pages get hreflang. Your progress lives in the page URL, so you can bookmark it or share the exact state with a teammate.

Each item is tagged with the page types it applies to, so choosing Homepage, Blog post, Product page, Landing page, or General filters the master list down to the relevant items and hides any category with nothing to show. A product page surfaces Product/Offer structured data, a multilingual page surfaces hreflang, and a blog post surfaces author and publish-date signals, while General shows the universally applicable items.
It is priority-weighted rather than a flat percentage. Each item is worth points by priority — critical 10, high 5, medium 2, low 1 — and the score is the percentage of total weight you have completed, rounded to a whole number. Ticking one critical item therefore moves the score far more than a low-priority one. Each category also shows its own weighted percentage, and the score dial shifts from red through amber to green as you cross 50% and 80%.
