Run through these six checks before any post goes live. Each one catches a different way a good post underperforms — a weak title in Google, a broken image in a shared link, or a page the sitemap never picks up.
Get real character-width feedback so your title doesn’t get cut off in search results, and a description worth clicking.
Open Meta Tag Generator →Article, FAQ, or HowTo schema — whichever fits your post — gives search engines a shot at showing a richer result than a plain blue link.
Open Schema Markup Generator →Confirm your featured image, title, and description render correctly before someone shares the link.
Open Open Graph Preview →A pixel-accurate preview of exactly what your listing looks like in search results, not just a character count guess.
Open Google SERP Snippet Preview →Especially important if the post exists at more than one URL (tags, categories, AMP versions) — this tells search engines which one counts.
Open Canonical URL Tag Generator →Confirm the new post is actually listed in your sitemap.xml, since search engines can take much longer to find pages that aren’t.
Open XML Sitemap Validator →No — this is a pre-publish check. For minor edits to an already-published post, only re-run the title/description steps if you actually changed those.
The XML Sitemap Validator will flag that clearly — most CMS platforms generate one automatically at /sitemap.xml.
