Newsletter ยท October 16, 2026
16 of you audited your site. Here's what we found.
Hi there,
On Wednesday we sent you a free website audit. Since then, 16 of you ran it on your own site, so here's what the results say, as promised: no names, just the patterns.
The good news first. Your sites are in better shape than most: the average score was 94 out of 100, and 6 of you hit a perfect 100.
The most common miss: structured data. 1 in 4 sites had none. It's a small block of code that tells Google and AI assistants exactly what your product is. It takes about 2 minutes:
<script type="application/ld+json"> { "@context": "https://schema.org", "@type": "SoftwareApplication", "name": "Your product", "url": "https://yourproduct.com", "applicationCategory": "BusinessApplication" } </script>
Paste it in your homepage's <head>, swap in your name and URL, done.
Second most common: title length. 3 of you had a title outside 30 to 60 characters. Too long and Google cuts it off; too short and you waste your most visible line in search.
On Domain Rating: you're in good company. Half of the sites scored under DR 16, and the range went from 1 to 57. A low DR on a young product is normal. It builds over months as people mention and write about you.
We ran it on ourselves too. launchit.fast scored 94 at first, held back by a slow server response. We re-ran it later: 100. Nobody is immune.
If you haven't tried it yet, it takes 10 seconds and needs no signup:
Have a great weekend, Brian
