At Hawk Host, we understand the frustration of placing new features behind additional add-ons, and our goal has always been to include new features at absolutely no additional cost. We’re happy to announce that we’re now offering within cPanel search engine optimization tools at absolutely no additional cost to you.
You may have recently discovered a new feature in your cPanel called Search Engine Optimization. We’ve now Properly Documented the feature on our constantly expanding Knowledge Base and are happy to officially announce its availability.
The Search Engine Optimization feature is a cPanel powered feature that, as of this post, is not available to all cPanel partners, but it’s available to our users. We’re also unlike many providers in that we’re not creating it as a new revenue opportunity, but rather as a new feature essential to every website owner, and we’re offering it free at this time.
The SEO tool may not offer as many features as third-party solutions; however, many website owners may not have the budget for yet another subscription. You can perform a quick audit with absolutely zero obligations; it completes its scan in under 70 seconds and scans up to 10 total pages. The quick audit scans your website for the most critical issues, which is how it completes its scan in under 70 seconds. If you wish to have a complete scan, all you need to do is verify your email address, and a comprehensive scan will be performed. The full SEO audit can take 40 minutes or longer, as it scans your entire website and provides a comprehensive report on actionable items that could significantly boost your SEO performance if you’re not already doing the recommended items.
Regardless of whether you opt for the quick or full SEO audit, you will receive different issue priorities. That means if you don’t have time, you can immediately focus on the high-priority items that would seriously decrease your search engine rankings. For each issue discovered, you will also be provided with basic guidance on how to resolve the problem.
The Search Engine Optimization tools are just one of many new features we’ve introduced to our platform. We will continue to introduce new features through a combination of in-house developed features and third-party applications and plugins to enhance functionality. If you have a suggestion for a new feature or an improvement to an existing one, we always welcome feedback
