Welcome to your SEO Retriever guide
Plain-English walkthroughs of every screen in your account - what each number means, and what to do about it.
SEO Retriever watches your whole online presence - your Google rankings, map visibility, reviews, website health, and more - and turns it into one simple score, with a clear list of what to fix first. This guide explains each screen you'll see, one card at a time, so you always know what you're looking at.
New here? Start with The dashboard - it's the home screen that ties everything else together. Then dip into whichever score you're curious about.
