A newcomer lands on your website. What do they see?

Is this a Google ranking tool?

No. Nobody outside Google can read exact rankings for free, and scraping Google breaks its terms. This checks what we can read honestly: your public page, from the point of view of an English-speaking newcomer. Where you actually rank also depends on competition, reviews and links, which this does not measure.

Can it check where I appear in Google for my specialities?

It shows you the exact searches a newcomer would type, with links, and you tell it which page of results you appear on. It also tells you whether your own site has a page aimed at each speciality. We never query Google for you, so the position is whatever you see yourself.

What do you do with my address?

We read the public page once, plus robots.txt and sitemap.xml, show the result on your screen and keep nothing. We follow your robots.txt, and we do not log in or fill in forms.

Does a low score affect my listing?

No. Your listing and your position on Barcelona English Pros do not depend on this check or on buying anything from us. Featured partner placement is paid and labelled as paid.

Is the check always right?

It reads the page the server sends. If a button or text is added later by a plug-in, we may miss it, so please check each item by eye.
