Publication readiness checker

The page-level publication checklist, as a working tool. Go through the checks for one page before it ships; the required ones decide the verdict. Your answers are stored only in this browser.

Page being checked (optional)

1 · Give the page a distinct job

If several pages would give the reader the same answer, publish one stronger page instead.

The page answers one written question RequiredWrite the exact question this page answers, in one sentence, before publishing. No sibling page gives the same answer RequiredCheck your inventory for overlap — the inventory studio groups the near-duplicates. More than a template swapA changed city name or product keyword is not, by itself, a new purpose. The page adds something the template alone would not.

2 · Inspect the evidence and the limits

For each claim, know its source and whether it is an observation, a calculation or a projection.

Every factual claim has a recorded source RequiredClaims without a source are removed or rewritten as opinion, not softened. Examples are labeled as examples RequiredNo invented ratings, testimonials, customer stories or case-study results presented as real. Availability and pricing claims are currentProduct availability, prices and limits on the page match the offering as it stands today.

3 · Check what the visitor can reach

Confirm the main text is available, navigation works, and the primary task can actually be completed.

The page renders and its primary task completes RequiredTested on the real page — desktop and mobile — not just in a preview. Title, description, heading and canonical describe this page RequiredStructured data, if present, describes visible content only — no invisible claims. Error and empty states are understandableWhen something fails or returns nothing, the page says what happened and what to do next.

4 · Make the indexing decision explicit

A sitemap should list the public canonical pages you want discovered — not every route in an application.

The indexing decision is written down RequiredIndex or noindex, and why — recorded with the page, not left as a default nobody chose. The sitemap lists only public canonical pages RequiredPrivate tools, drafts and placeholders stay out. The sitemap extractor shows what yours currently lists. Live status checked after publishingHTTP status and indexing directives verified on the live URL. Sitemap submission is discovery assistance, not a promise of indexing.

The verdict summarizes your own assessment. It is not a ranking, indexing or traffic guarantee — it is a record that the questions were asked before the page scaled.

Why a gate, not a vibe

Programmatic publishing multiplies whatever it touches — including mistakes. A checklist that lives in a guide gets read once; a checklist that produces a verdict gets used on every page. These eleven checks are the guide's four sections made countable: a distinct job, inspected evidence, a reachable page, and an indexing decision somebody actually made. Read the reasoning in the full guide.
