Understanding Your Maker Score

The Maker Score is a specific, actionable metric designed to tell you how well you are building organic traction. It is NOT a vanity metric; it is a health check.

How It's Calculated

The score (0-100) is a weighted average of three key pillars:

1. Consistency Score (35 points)

We check the frequency of your content updates. Ideally, you should be publishing at least one significant update or post per week.

• Good: 1+ posts/week
• Fair: 1 post/month
• Poor: No updates in >30 days

2. Implementation Score (35 points)

We scan your site and SEO data for technical "wins".

• Do you have valid sitemaps?
• Are your meta tags descriptive?
• Is your page load speed acceptable?

3. Impact Score (30 points)

Traffic and engagement. This is the hardest to game.

• Trend: Is traffic going up or down?
• Volume: Are you getting at least 100 clicks/month?

How to Improve Your Score

Don't obsess over the number. Focus on the actions.

1. Fix the basics: Use the "Site Analytics" tool to find technical errors.
2. Fill Content Gaps: Use the "Growth Engine" to find high-value keywords you are missing.
3. Be Consistent: Commit to shipping one piece of content every week.
