Think you know? File that thought. You’ll see if you’re right in the real test.

6. How We Built the Question Pool

Our team scraped noted seo expert tweets, top forums, and google help docs. We mapped out the following factors we see newbies miss. Then we created short checks. Each check ties to one purpose: keep search engines able to crawl, read, and index your website pages with ease.

7. Quick Note on Grading

Every correct pick scores ten points. A full 100 means you could teach the thing. Miss any? No shame. We list the right answer and a fix you can do today. Your seo knowledge grows on the spot.

8. Sneaky Spots People Miss

You know what? Many folks forget to add a fresh xml sitemap after they add multiple pages. Others leave a blank meta title when they clone a web page template. Both hurt crawl time and water down value.
A quick refresher on essentials from Semrush’s SEO best practices overview can help you stay on track.
Keep an eye on:

• A clean source code free of hidden error links
• A tidy anchor text map so no two pages fight the same keywords
• Using a meta robots line to hush pages that should stay private

9. Real Tools to Check Your Work

After the quiz, open:

• Google Search Console for crawl stats
• 10xSEO Speed Gauge for loading speed
• Ahrefs or Moz for domain authority and link gaps
• Your log files to see how bots move through urls

Match the quiz notes with tool data. That locks the lesson in place. And if you'd like a printable list of all the must-do fixes, download our handy SEO cheat sheet for quick reference.

10. How a Wrong Answer Helps

Pick the wrong box? You get two gains:

1. A clear fix you can run.
2. Fresh knowledge that sticks harder because you felt the miss.

That sting plus a quick patch boosts your seo skills faster than a win you guessed.

11. Sample Fix: Stop Duplicate Content

Say you keep one product on five separate pages with the same text. Google may pick one at random. The quiz reminds you to slot a canonical tag on each twin to point at the main webpage. That move helps search engines choose the right URL and keeps your website content neat. It also lets you avoid duplicate content risks.

12. From Quiz Score to Action Plan

Your report lists:

• Missed questions
• Quick fixes
• Links to guides

For step-by-step instructions on turning these insights into tasks, see GoDaddy’s guide to SEO best practices for your website.
Work the list, and watch your traffic rise. We toss in rough time stamps so you can plan a “finish line” by week’s end.

13. Common Myths We Bust

Myth: “More meta tags means more rank.”
Truth: One sharp meta description beats ten junk ones. Less fluff lets bots crawl faster.

Myth: “Stuff every page with all the keywords.”
Truth: That triggers spam rules and can tank search results.

14. Is the Quiz for Pros?

Yes and no. If you’re a senior seo expert, it’s a fun pulse check. If you’re fresh, it’s a mini class. Either way, scoring high boosts your brag sheet and may tip a client to pick your company.

15. Mini Glossary (Plain Words)

• Index – the big library where google stores found pages.
• Anchor text – the words you click in a link.
• Canonical tag – a hint that tells bots which URL is the main one.
• Domain authority – a guess at how strong your website may look to search engines.

Keep these near if any quiz word feels fuzzy.

16. Why We Only Ask Ten

You might ask, “Why not twenty?” Simple: the maximum number of facts you keep after a fast read sits near seven. Ten leaves wiggle room and still feels complete.

17. Local Edge for Brick-and-Mortar Shops

Run a pizza place? The quiz covers local seo too. We ask how to place e a t cues in a map listing, when to use on page seo for city names, and where a title tag should carry a zip code. Nail these and your pie shows up first to hungry folks nearby.

18. Pulling It All Together

You’ll finish the quiz, see answers, and think, “Okay, now what?” Save your sheet. Map each fix to a task in Trello. Mark done when live. In two weeks, peek at analytics. You’ll spot bumps in clicks, search results spots, and maybe sales.

19. Small Digression: Cats and Crawl Budget

Odd mix, right? Think of a bot like a curious cat strolling halls. Every extra door (or bad url structure) steals time. A neat hall means kitty scans every room quick. Same with google. A lean xml sitemap shows clear doors so the bot can crawl the full site fast.

20. Check Your Link Profile Weekly

While you’re at it, peek at new links coming in. A good anchor text mix beats 50 random “click here” bits. Quality links boost your domain authority and pass weight to key website pages.

21. Security Counts Too

A safe padlock icon keeps users calm and bots happy. And yes, HTTPS is an indirect ranking factor. We slip one quiz item on this to see if you know.

22. When to Use “Noindex”

Don’t miss the question on meta robots noindex tags. If you have thin FAQ page copies or gated PDFs, tag those. That saves crawl time for the good stuff.

23. Keep an Eye on Title Tag Length

Another quiz nod covers length. Google cuts long titles. Aim for 55-60 characters. That way the full hook shows in search results.

24. Last Reminder Before You Click Start
