    When you’re not an SEO expert, how do you quickly check if a website is “OK for Google”?

    This is the simple 5-minute checklist I usually recommend to beginners:

    • H1 / H2 structure
      We use free tools like SEO Review Tools (seoreviewtools.com) to quickly see if headings are clear and logical.

    • Site speed
      Google PageSpeed Insights, with a strong focus on mobile results.

    • Navigation clarity
      Getting short, human UX feedback via ListAndFuse (Listandfuse.com FR or EN version).

    • Indexation
      Simply typing site:yourdomain.com directly into Google's Chrome navogator.
    No advanced SEO.
    No paid tools.
    Just basic checks to avoid obvious beginner mistakes.

    Curious to hear from the community:
    What’s the first thing you ask beginners to check?
