Website Score and SEO basics

Check how healthy your website is and use the SEO & Growth tools to help people find you on Google.

VDM gives you two ways to help your website get found: the Website Score and the SEO & Growth screen. Nobody can promise a place on Google, but these tools show you what to fix.

Check your Website Score

1. Open Website Studio and find Website Score.
2. You see a score out of 100 for speed, Google, phones, security and getting customers.
3. On a VDM website, each problem has Fix it with Visi or Open Brand Kit. Press it to fix that problem.
4. After a fix, press Check again.

If your website was made somewhere else, VDM cannot change it, so there are no fix buttons. The card offers Copy and fix my website or Make a new one with Visi. Get my form works on any website.

Use SEO & Growth

1. Open SEO & Growth in the menu on the left.
2. Google listing check (Growth and Pro) compares your Google Business listing with what VDM has: name, phone, address, hours, website and main category. Press Check now. Each row says if it matches and where to fix it.
3. Monthly SEO report (Growth and Pro) arrives by email on the 1st and shows here too. Email me this report turns the email off or on.
4. Competitor tracking (Pro) checks the competitor addresses you typed in Website Studio every month and lists what changed.
5. Where you show on Google lists your average place on Google for the searches you follow, with clicks, and whether it went up or down since last week. Type up to 10 searches, one per line, and press Save and check now. It also shows the searches that bring people now. It needs Set up Google for me in Website Studio first.
6. Other places to be found lists Yelp, Bing Places, Apple Maps, Facebook, Nextdoor and the BBB. Search for me shows if you are listed there; Claim or fix opens the place to claim it. Tick I have it as you go, and use Copy my details so every listing says the same thing.
7. Found in AI answers checks what ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Copilot and Google read before they recommend a business: whether AI tools may read your website, your business details, questions and answers, linked social profiles, your own domain, Bing Places, your Google listing and recent articles. Fix it opens the screen that fixes each one. VDM cannot see inside those tools, so this is a checklist, not a ranking.
8. City pages shows how many you have.
9. More ways to get found opens tools you already have, like Website Score, blog articles, landing pages and review requests.

Good to know:

• The Google listing check needs Google Business connected in Connections, with your location chosen. VDM changes your listing only when you confirm.
• Under the Google listing check, Your description on Google shows the text Google has now. Write a new one, or press Visi, write one, then Send to Google. Google allows no links, phone numbers or offers in it.
• Fix it all shows at the top when VDM can fix things by itself: the phone, website or hours on your Google listing, and photos on your website without a description. It shows every change first. Publish your website after to put the descriptions online.
• Google's own numbers show in the report only when Google shares them.
• To add city pages, see Add pages, city pages and blog articles.
