Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Answers to your top questions about our SEO tools

EEAT Analyzer

What is the EEAT Analyzer?

The EEAT Analyzer rates your website against Google's E-E-A-T criteria:

  • Experience (Erfahrung) - Does the website show practical experience?
  • Expertise (Fachwissen) - Is expertise demonstrated?
  • Authoritativeness (Autorität) - Is the website an authority in its field?
  • Trustworthiness (Vertrauenswürdigkeit) - Is the website trustworthy?

The analysis uses AI to evaluate these factors and provide concrete improvement suggestions.

Why isn't my website fully analyzed?

There are several possible reasons:

  • Cloudflare-Schutz: Your website is blocking our crawler. See the "Cloudflare Configuration" section below.
  • robots.txt: Your robots.txt is blocking crawlers.
  • JavaScript-Rendering: Key content loads only after JavaScript execution.
  • IP-Blocking: Your server is blocking certain IP addresses.

Why aren't my social media links recognized?

Social media links are recognized when they:

  • As <a href="..."> links exist in the HTML
  • Link to official profile pages (not share buttons)
  • Are not dynamically loaded by JavaScript
Tip: Make sure your social media links are embedded as real HTML links in your footer or About page. Links like instagram.com/IhrProfil are recognized.

Cloudflare Configuration

My website is protected by Cloudflare—what do I need to do?

If your website uses Cloudflare, our crawler may be blocked. Here's how to allow our crawler:

Step 1: Open your Cloudflare Dashboard

  1. Log in at dash.cloudflare.com
  2. Select your domain
  3. Navigate to: Security > WAF > Custom rules

Step 2: Create a new rule

Click "Create rule" and use these settings:

  • Rule name: Allow EEAT Analyzer Bot
  • Expression:
(http.user_agent contains "Mozilla/5.0") and (http.user_agent contains "Chrome")

Step 3: Define action

  • Action: Skip
  • Skip options:
    • Super Bot Fight Mode
    • Rate Limiting
    • Browser Integrity Check
Alternatively: Contact us with your domain, and we'll check if special adjustments are needed.

I'm getting error 429 (Too Many Requests)

Error 429 means Cloudflare's rate limiting blocked the crawler. Solutions:

Option 1: Adjust rate limiting rule

  1. Go to Security > WAF > Rate limiting rules
  2. Create an exception rule for our User-Agent

Option 2: Adjust Super Bot Fight Mode

  1. Go to Security > Bots
  2. Under "Super Bot Fight Mode" select "Allow" for "Definitely automated"
Note: Our crawler uses slow, respectful crawl rates (2 seconds between requests) when Cloudflare is detected.

Which user agent does your crawler use?

Our crawler uses a standard Chrome browser User-Agent:

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/124.0.0.0 Safari/537.36

If you encounter issues, you can also use the Googlebot User-Agent:

Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Googlebot/2.1; +http://www.google.com/bot.html)

Our crawler settings:

  • Standard mode: 0.3s delay, max 50 pages
  • Cloudflare mode: 2.0s delay, 1 request at a time, max 30 pages

How do I know if my website uses Cloudflare?

You can test this with the following command:

curl -I https://ihre-website.de

If you see these headers, your website uses Cloudflare:

  • Server: cloudflare
  • CF-RAY: ...
  • CF-Cache-Status: ...

Our EEAT Analyzer automatically detects Cloudflare and adjusts crawl speed accordingly.

Tip: If you experience issues with the EEAT Analyzer, we recommend temporarily setting the security level to "Low" or "Essentially Off" and creating a custom rule for our User-Agent.

robots.txt Configuration

How do I configure my robots.txt for the crawler?

Add the following lines to your robots.txt in addition:

# Allow all standard crawlers
User-agent: *
Allow: /

# Optional: Set crawl delay
Crawl-delay: 1

# Exclude admin areas
Disallow: /admin/
Disallow: /wp-admin/
Disallow: /private/
Tip: Test your robots.txt with the Google robots.txt Tester.

The crawler is ignoring my robots.txt — is that a problem?

Our crawler respects robots.txt by default. If you want certain areas analyzed that are blocked in robots.txt:

  • Temporarily adjust your robots.txt
  • Or contact us for a manual analysis

Technical Issues

The analysis is taking a very long time—is that normal?

Analysis duration depends on various factors:

  • Website size: More pages = longer analysis
  • Server speed: Slow servers delay analysis
  • Cloudflare: When Cloudflare is detected, we crawl slower (2s delay)
  • AI Analysis: AI rating requires additional time

Typical analysis times:

  • Small website (10-20 pages): 1-2 minutes
  • Medium website (50+ pages): 3-5 minutes
  • With Cloudflare: 5-10 minutes

I'm not receiving my results email

Check the following points:

  1. Check your spam folder
  2. Verify that you entered the email address correctly
  3. Wait a few minutes - larger analyses take longer

Our emails come from: no-reply@antonioblago.com

Tip: Add our email address to your contacts to make sure emails don't end up in spam.

The analysis shows "Error" or "Failed"

Possible causes and solutions:

Error Solution
403 Forbidden Cloudflare or WAF blocking - see Cloudflare section
429 Too Many Requests Rate limiting active, adjust rule in Cloudflare
503 Service Unavailable Server overloaded - try again later
Timeout Server too slow - check your hosting

Data security & encryption

How is my data protected?

We take protecting your data very seriously. All sensitive data is protected with state-of-the-art encryption:

  • AES-128-CBC encryption: Your revenue and keyword data is encrypted and stored with Fernet (AES-128-CBC)
  • Per-user key: Each user has an individual encryption key
  • Secure transmission: All data is transmitted via HTTPS
  • Google OAuth: We don't store Google passwords - authentication happens via Google OAuth 2.0
Transparency: In revenue analysis, you always see the current encryption status of your data.

Which data is encrypted?

The following sensitive data is encrypted and stored:

  • Revenue Analysis: All revenue data (total, organic, brand, generic)
  • Keyword data: Top keywords by revenue
  • Landing Pages: Page performance by revenue
  • Google OAuth Tokens: Google APIs credentials

Only necessary metadata (project ID, time period, status) remain unencrypted for database queries.

What does "legacy data" mean in revenue analysis?

When you see a yellow message "Legacy data detected", it means:

  • This analysis was created before full encryption was introduced
  • The data is older and hasn't yet been encrypted with the new method
Solution: Click "Refresh" to run a new analysis with full encryption. The old data will then be securely replaced.

How does encryption work technically?

Our encryption is based on the Fernet standard:

  • Algorithm: AES-128-CBC with HMAC-SHA256 for integrity verification
  • Key derivation: Your individual key is generated from multiple factors
  • Encryption: Data is encrypted before being stored in the database
  • Decryption: Data is only decrypted server-side when you retrieve it

Encryption happens automatically — you don't need to configure anything.

Who has access to my decrypted data?

Only you have access to your decrypted data:

  • Decryption only happens when you log in and retrieve data
  • Even administrators only see encrypted data in the database
  • Without your individual key, decryption is impossible
GDPR-compliant: These measures comply with GDPR requirements for technical and organizational data protection measures.

Online Presence & Traffic Dashboard

How is estimated traffic calculated?

The estimated traffic is calculated with a conservative CTR model (Click-Through Rate) calculated:

Position CTR Traffic per 1,000 searches
1 18% 180 Clicks
2 10% 100 Clicks
3 7% 70 Clicks
4-5 3,5-4,5% 35-45 Clicks
6-10 1-2,5% 10-25 Clicks
11-20 (Page 2) 0,5% 5 Clicks
21-50 0,2% 2 Clicks
51+ 0,05% ~0 clicks
Formula: Estimated traffic = Search volume × CTR (position)
Example: Keyword with 8,100 searches at position 3 → 8,100 × 0.07 = 567 clicks/month

Why are the CTR values conservative?

We deliberately use a conservative estimates, to set realistic expectations:

  • No overstated promises: Many tools use optimistic CTR values (e.g. 28% for position 1) that are rarely achieved in practice
  • SERP Features: Featured Snippets, Ads, and Knowledge Panels significantly reduce organic CTR
  • Industry differences: Actual CTR varies widely depending on industry and search intent
  • Mobile vs. Desktop: Mobile searches often have lower CTR values
Advantage: With conservative values, your actual results are often better than expected!

What does "Your Domain" mean in the competitor table?

The label "Your Domain" marks your own website in the competitor overview:

  • This way you can see at a glance where you stand compared to your competitors
  • The row is highlighted in yellow for better visibility
  • You can compare the metrics directly with your competitors

How is the Online Presence Score calculated?

The Online Presence Score (0-100) rates a domain's overall online visibility based on 5 components:

Component Weight Description
Domain Rank 30% DataForSEO Domain Rating (0-100, comparable to Ahrefs DR)
Organic Traffic 25% Estimated monthly organic traffic (log10-scaled)
Keywords 15% Number of ranking organic keywords (log10-scaled)
Link Profile 20% Combination of backlinks (40%) and referring domains (60%), log10-scaled
Domain Health 10% Quality of link profile: doFollow ratio (50%) and link diversity (50%)

Domain Health measures link quality:

  • DoFollow share: Share of doFollow domains among all referring domains. 80% doFollow or higher = full score.
  • Link diversity: Ratio of referring domains to backlinks. More different domains = healthy profile (no spam link spam).
Universe Rank: All domains in the system are sorted by OP Score daily. Your rank shows where you stand compared to 520 analyzed domains you're up against.

What does the Backlinks tab show in the chart?

The Backlinks tab shows your domain's current backlink situation:

  • Total backlinks: All incoming links to your domain
  • Referring Domains: Number of different domains linking to you
Note: Historical backlink data is saved with every analysis. The more often you analyze, the more historical data is available.

Where does the traffic and keyword data come from?

The data comes from DataForSEO, a professional SEO data provider:

  • Keyword rankings: Current SERP positions for organic keywords
  • Search Volume: Monthly search volume based on Google data
  • Backlinks: Comprehensive backlink database with Domain Rank
  • Competitors: Domains with similar keyword rankings

Data is updated regularly to provide current information.

Is there a limit for unregistered users?

Yes, for unregistered users a daily limit applies:

User Type analyses per day
Unregistered (by IP) 5 analyses
Registered (free) Unlimited analyses
Tip: Registration is free and takes only 30 seconds. With an account, you get unlimited access to all Online Presence Analyses!

The daily limit resets at midnight. The restriction is based on your IP address.
