Enabling Page SEO Checks in WordPress

SureRank makes it easy to monitor the SEO health of your content right from the WordPress dashboard. One powerful feature is the Page SEO Checks column on the “Pages” screen, which gives a quick overview of each page’s SEO status.

Follow the steps below to enable this option:

Step 1: Go to the Pages Screen

From your WordPress dashboard, navigate to Pages > All Pages.

Step 2: Open Screen Options

Click on the Screen Options tab located in the top-right corner of the screen. This will expand a drop-down panel.

Step 3: Enable “Page SEO Checks”

In the dropdown, check the box labeled Page SEO Checks. This will add a new column to the Pages table view.

Step 4: Review SEO Check Results

Once enabled, you’ll see a new Page SEO Checks column beside each page entry. Each page will display page health.

• Issue Detected – This status indicates that the page has one or more critical SEO issues. These should be addressed as a priority to improve your site’s visibility and performance.
• Needs Improvement – The page is missing some recommended SEO best practices. While not critical, addressing these issues can help enhance your rankings.
• Optimized – The page has passed all key SEO checks and is considered optimized. No immediate action is needed.
  

Clicking on any of these badges opens a slide-in panel that shows a detailed list of SEO checks and suggestions for that page.

Tip: Regularly reviewing your Page SEO Checks helps maintain strong on-site SEO and improves your chances of ranking higher in search engines.
