Draft structure grade
Paste a draft before you publish it and have it graded against the four structural properties that outlast an algorithm change — one subject, headings a reader could have typed, links to your own related pages, metadata that matches the body — with the marking scheme itself handed back in plain text you can paste into whatever you write with.
What it reads
This grades the ONE draft you pasted against four structural rules, reading the title, the headings, the links and the metadata out of the text itself.
- One clear subject per piece — Write about exactly one thing. State the subject in the title and again in the first two sentences, in the same words. If the draft would need a second title to be honest, it is two pieces — split it.
- Headings that answer real questions — Make every heading below the title a question a reader would actually type, or a plain statement that answers one. No one-word headings, no labels like overview or introduction, and no cleverness that hides what the section says.
- Links to your own related pages — Link at least two of your own existing pages from the body, with link text that says what the other page is about. Never use here or this link as the link text.
- Metadata that matches the body — Write the title in 30 to 60 characters and the description in 110 to 160, and make both describe what the body actually delivers. If the body does not contain what the description promises, change the description.
What it does not look at
- keyword density, and that is a refusal rather than a gap — there is no density target here and no "use your keyword N times", because a density figure produces copy that embarrasses whoever published it and search engines have spent fifteen years discounting it
- whether anybody searches for your subject, or how many people do — that needs a live search source, and this reads only your draft
- whether a heading is a question REAL PEOPLE ask: it reads PHRASING, so a well-phrased question about something nobody wonders about passes here
- whether an internal link points at a page that exists — it reads the links in your draft, never your site
- whether what the draft says is true, or well written, or worth reading: a structurally sound draft can be wrong about everything in it
- the pages you did not paste, so it cannot tell you that another of your own pages already covers this same subject
Use it before you publish, not after
Every rule here is about the shape of the piece, so all four are cheap to fix while it is still a draft and expensive once it is a page with links pointing at it. The grade is complete on its own: there is no second half of this behind a signup, and the four rules come back as plain text you can paste into whatever you write with.
