Check your site before you publish
Last updated
Use the Check tab for your launch checklist and the site check. It lists what's missing, like a logo or photo descriptions, and takes you to the fix.
- Who can do this
- Owners and admins
- Where to find it
- Website, then Edit, then Check
The Check tab in the editor helps you see what's missing before visitors do. Its count shows on the tab's icon.
The launch checklist
Open Check in the rail on the left. The Launch checklist says how many items are done. Each open item has a button that takes you there.
| Item | Where it takes you |
|---|---|
| Add your logo | Open header |
| Add photos to your home page | Add a photo |
| Set your opening hours | Open locations |
| Describe your home page for search | Open page settings |
| Connect your own domain | Open Domains |
When everything is done, it says "Your launch checklist is done."
The site check
The Site check looks at the page you have open, plus your header and footer. It says "Ready to publish." or how many things to check. Items are marked Worth fixing or Worth a look, grouped as On this page and Header and footer. Choose Show to jump to the block.
It looks for things like:
A photo with no description for people who can't see it.
A page with no main heading, or more than one.
A link to a page that isn't live yet.
Text on a photo with no tint, which may be hard to read.
A header with no menu links.
Nothing on your home page that lets visitors book.
A button for a service you archived or hid.
No way for visitors to reach you.
You can still publish when the check finds things. The publish box says "Site check found" a number of things, and "You can still publish."
