The main features of RM Tech

1. A very complete audit report

RM Tech score

The tool calculates an RM Tech score, which is the complete audit score. Source: RMtech This score indicates the extent to which natural referencing has been optimized in relation to the elements of the site:

Internal links;
Contents ;
Backlinks;
Etc.

8 sets of main criteria analyzed

The tool offers a global vision of the SEO difficulties of a website. Each page is evaluated by dozens of checkpoints and internal algorithms, classified into eight families:

Title tags;
meta description tags;
URL responding in error;
Loading time ;
Indexability of HTML pages;
Quality of content and pages;
External outbound links;
Internal mesh and page depth.

2 . Focus on Quality Risk

Quality Risk, originally designed by RM Tech, is a way to assess the quality of your content in relation to Google’s objectives. Source: RMtech As a reminder, Google greatly appreciates high quality content and does not hesitate to promote it. In the same way, it penalizes those of lower quality, as demonstrated by its algorithms : Panda, Phantom or Penguin. On the other hand, it must be recognized that quality is a subjective. It is then difficult to define what constitutes excellent content for a robot today. But, we can have an approximate idea, and this is what RM Tech wanted to demonstrate in this case with its Quality Risk score. To determine the quality, Google bases itself on several objective criteria. These criteria and those assessed by RM Tech for your website are taken into account to determine the Quality Risk score. Among these are:

Page loading speed;
Internal linking;
The Title tag and meta description;
Uniqueness and size of content;
Semantic tags;
External outbound links;
Internal outbound links;
The number of clicks required to move from one page to another (called the page crawl depth);
Etc.

Based on these previously listed criteria, RM Tech calculates the risk of each page, noted QR (Quality Risk). The higher a page’s QR (100 being the maximum), the more you need to improve its quality based on these objective criteria. Generally, it is advisable to have a RQ lower than 20. Of course, this is only a suggestion, but it is an important and fascinating indicator to keep in mind when evaluating the overall quality of your pages.

3. Coupling included with Analytics and Search Console

In March 2017, Olivier Duffez and his team integrated a crucial change at RM Tech: the association with Google Analytics. Source: My Ranking metrics Olivier Duffez said: With access to the Google Analytics account linked to the site, data that measures the SEO performance of pages can be retrieved. Indeed, to provide its users with a comprehensive evaluation of websites, in addition to its Quality Risk factor, RM Tech has connected data from Google Analytics and Google Search Console with the crawl. Thanks to this new system, this tool, which was already complete, progressed to become even more efficient and flexible. With the crawl coupling function with Google Analytics, RM Tech can for example identify all the active pages of a site over a given period (we suggest 365 days). Active pages are in fact those that have received at least one visit from natural referencing. Thus, it classifies all indexable content into four categories:

Highly active pages : those that have generated 3650 or more sessions in a year;
Active pages : 365 to 3649 sessions generated over 365 days;
Less active pages : from 1 to 364 sessions generated over 365 days;
Inactive pages : those that do not generate any session.

The inactive pages are where you should focus first, as they are not generating any traffic. With the information provided in the report, you should be able to optimize these pages so that they generate traffic again or, as a last resort, choose to delete them. WARNING: If a web page is labeled as not very active, this does not necessarily mean that it represents a threat to the SEO of your site!

4. New feature: Ability to detect zombie and orphan pages on your website!

In the case of an SEO audit combined with Search Console and Analytics, the crawler can also calculate a “Zombie Index(scored out of 100). Source: My ranking metrics For Olivier Duffez (co-founders of RM Tech), the detection of zombie pages, that is to say almost unrecoverable pages that are full of errors and have little success, is an absolute priority. This feature, which debuted towards the end of 2018, still requires human inspection like its predecessors. Update of 03.15.2019 : Always with the aim of doing better in this detection procedure and improving pages with poor SEO performance, the professionals of My Ranking Metrics have created another tool that can be linked to RM Tech , Google Search Console and Google Analytics: RM Sitemaps. Source: RM Sitemaps Thanks to the latter, you can audit the XML sitemap(s) of your site and thus discover, in addition to the zombie pages, the orphan pages of your site without having to access your logs. As a reminder, a page is said to be orphan when it has no outgoing links (links to other pages) visible to Google robots and other search engines.

5. Download all the data (Excel, CSV)

Each audit report is indeed accompanied by appendices which contain all the data, which allows you to correct the errors discovered. The annexes are available in Excel and CSV formats, and can be downloaded in a ZIP archive with 1 click. This is ideal for later use.

Summary

RM Tech is to be followed very closely!
