First, you’ll see a live preview of how your page will appear in search engine results. Here, you can view the page title and description and see how your changes affect the preview.

Helps search engines better understand your page by listing all headings (H1–H6).

Here you get an overview of all headings on your page and can directly select which heading level (H1–H6) you want to assign.

This way, you can quickly and clearly adjust the structure of your page without having to search through each heading individually in the editor. Additionally, you immediately see which headings have not yet been assigned an H-heading and can add them directly here to optimally structure your page for search engines.
​

Describe images for screen readers, improve accessibility, and help search engines better classify your content.
​

Here you also have an overview of all alt texts, see which images already have alt texts, and which images still lack alt texts.

In addition to entering alt text manually, you can also use AI to generate alt text. This saves you time and ensures that your images are quickly provided with appropriate descriptions, improving your page’s discoverability and accessibility.
