SEOENG Rules™

SEOENG Rules™ are customized alerts that you can define as a SEOENG® Customer. Each rule is specific to a particular Customer and a Website. Whenever a Website is re-crawled, each rule that was defined for that Website is evaluated. If the rule condition is TRUE, then the Customer is alerted instantly.

How do I create a SEOENG Rule™?

SEOENG® makes it very easy to create simple rules. When logged in, simply click on any icon next to the item you wish to create a rule with.

Then, you simply follow the SEOENG Rules™ Wizard. Select your condition, (optionally) enter a value, name the rule, and you're done! Once you have defined a rule, don't forget to create a Scheduled Re-Crawl for the Website. SEOENG Rules™ are fired off only after a Website has been Re-Crawled.

Below are some simple examples of what you can do with SEOENG Rules™. Using any of the operators above, you can combine any piece of data for a Website, and come up with a new and customized alert system. The combinations are endless — only your imagination holds you back.
  • Check to see whether or not a Website has any Broken Links:
    numBrokenLinks > 0
  • Check to see whether or not a specific Webpage has issues loading on the Web Server. You may be having issues with your Hosting Provider and want to know if the Webpage load times are sufficient enough for your user experience / SLA:
    retrieveTimeMillis > 5000
  • Check to see whether or not a Webpage's SEOENG Score™ has fallen below 85.5%. Let's assume that a particular Webpage has been optimized and now has a SEOENG Score™ of 85.5%. You want to know if something changes which cause the Webpage to have more penalties and a lower score:
    seoengScore < 85.5
  • Check to see whether or not a Webpage's Market Focus™ is no longer "search engine optimization". This would let you know when an edit on a Webpage accidently changes your Market Focus™, thus causing your target keywords to drop in ranking:
    marketFocus != "search engine optimization"
  • Check to see whether or not a Link's net Link Flow® Share drops below a threshold. You might want to know when a Link that you have on another Website is of no longer use:
    (netLinkFlowPercent/100) * linkFlow < 25.75
