6 major guidelines published between February and June 2026 by Google Search Central — all implemented and surfaced in our audits. While Surfer, Frase, Ahrefs and SEMrush are still catching up.
Authentic stateless WRS
Our JS rendering service clears cookies + cache + localStorage + sessionStorage + IndexedDB + service workers BEFORE every crawl — the exact behaviour of Google's Web Rendering Service.
Competitors: shared/cached rendering that skews diffs and hides the SPA blind spot.
Complete 2026 Spam Policies
Detects back-button hijacking, cloaking, doorway pages, scaled content abuse, site reputation abuse, sneaky redirects, hidden text/tiny fonts/zero opacity.
Anticipates the April 2026 spam policy and the May 2024 policy on scaled content + site reputation abuse.
People-first Helpful Content
0-100 score across Google's 4 official axes: demonstrated expertise, authoritative sources (.gov/.edu), visual originality, user focus. Keyword-stuffing penalty.
The only scorer on the market aligned with the 4 pillars of the Helpful Content System.
YMYL classifier + reinforced E-E-A-T
Automatically classifies your sites into medical / financial / legal / news / civic. On YMYL, the authorityScore threshold is reinforced ×1.5 (50 → 75). Tailored schemas recommended.
Most competitors apply a single E-E-A-T scoring for every site.
Discover Readiness Score
0-100 score across 8 Discover signals: max-image-preview:large, og:image ≥ 1200 px, NewsArticle + Person schema, publication date, viewport, clickbait detector.
Discover drives 30-40% of mobile traffic for publishers — a feature missing from Surfer/Frase.
Core Updates Watcher + CWV history
Daily cron: scrapes Google Updates + snapshots GSC impressions per site (with ymyl_category) + mobile & desktop LCP/INP/CLS. Detects correlated drops ≥ 20% post-update (≥ 15% if YMYL).
Ahrefs/SEMrush keep it for the Enterprise plan. With us: included.
