Check Your Website vs SE Ranking
SE Ranking is built to manage many clients. We are built to finish one page.
The short version
SE Ranking is an SEO platform with GEO folded into its current plans. Their On Page Checker takes a URL, a market and a keyword, and shows current versus recommended values. Tasks carry priority, category and status, and the API/MCP moves audits into other workflows. Core is $129/month, Growth $279/month, with Enterprise on request.
Check Your Website takes one public URL, no keyword and no project. Nine scored areas, the evidence behind every score, a roadmap split into what you can publish yourself and what needs a developer, and a verify step that re-runs the exact check your change depended on after you publish.
At $129/month, SE Ranking is priced for someone who bills for this work. That is the main thing to notice.
Side by side
| Check Your Website | SE Ranking | |
|---|---|---|
| Built for | A website owner who can publish a change | Agencies and marketing teams |
| What you submit | One exact public URL | URL plus market and keyword, inside a project |
| Core measure | AI readiness across nine areas, with evidence | On-page SEO audit; GEO as part of the wider suite |
| Task management | A roadmap of changes, ordered, split by who can do them | Tasks with priority, category and status |
| Multi-client workspace | No | Yes — projects, manager seats, white-label options |
| Proof a change worked | Re-runs the one check that area depends on: fixed / improved / still failing, score before and after | New audits and page monitoring; task status is set by you, not proven |
| Entry price | Free check, no signup | $129/month ($103.20/month annually); 14-day trial without a card |
What SE Ranking is genuinely good at
Scale and workflow. If you manage ten or thirty client sites, you need projects, seats, statuses, white-label reports and an API — and SE Ranking gives you all of that for less than most suites. Their On Page Checker's current-versus-recommended view is a good pattern, and task management across clients is exactly what an agency needs.
We do not do any of that, and we are not going to.
What we do differently
One page, no project. No market, no keyword, no seats to configure. Paste a URL and you have a result.
A task marked "done" is not proof. Anywhere with task statuses, "done" means someone ticked a box. We re-run the specific check your change depended on and record fixed, improved or still failing, with the score before and after. The system decides, not the person who did the work.
Deterministic scoring. The same page state always produces the same score. When the number moves, the page moved — which is what makes a before-and-after credible to a client.
Evidence per area. The exact line, tag or missing answer behind every score, bounded to what you need to act on.
Aimed at the person who owns the site, not the person who bills for it. No terminology to learn, no dashboard to maintain, and a free start.
Which one should you pick
Pick SE Ranking if you manage multiple client sites, you need projects, task management, white-label reporting and an API, and $129/month is a business cost you already carry.
Pick Check Your Website if the site is yours, you can publish a change yourself, and you want the next change and proof that it worked.
What we do not claim
We have no multi-client workspace, no seats, no white-label reporting, no keyword research and no site-wide crawl. We do not monitor brand mentions and we are not a ranking report. We promise no rankings, traffic or citations.
