Settling the Score: Website Graders vs. Search Experience Optimization
Every so often we have clients requesting an update to their website based on some website grader or another. Now, this isn’t a problem in itself—such tools make it easier to improve websites. It does become a problem when you pursue a perfect score on these sites as an end in itself.
What I’d like to assert is that site evaluation tools, even and perhaps especially when combined, cannot recommend a perfect website. We could spend days, even weeks, implementing their recommendations—and racking up higher costs than you’d need to build a website from scratch—but it wouldn't guarantee traffic, conversions, or satisfied users. Instead, you should focus on users' experience of the website.
