This is our estimate. Google doesn’t publish its contentEffort score. We look for signs of research, experience and original work in your page. It isn’t an AI-writing test.

What’s in the check?

We look for first-hand experience, research, useful detail and supporting sources. You’ll see what we found and where the page could do more. This measures visible effort, not overall writing quality.

How the estimate worksRubric v2.1

We check the page for things like a test with a clear method, specific results, explained code, links beside claims and useful image captions. We read nearby passages together where they belong to the same section. Each match earns points once. Repeating it or adding more words won’t raise the score.

OriginalitySigns that the page adds its own findings or ideas.20%

First-hand experienceWhat the author did, how they did it and what happened.20%

Useful detailSpecific findings, comparisons and explanations. We don’t compare other pages.15%

Evidence & researchSources, measurements and methods readers can follow.15%

Images & mediaPhotos, charts and diagrams with useful descriptions. We can’t verify ownership.10%

ExpertiseClear reasoning, relevant knowledge and an understanding of the limits.10%

Work behind the wordsReported tests, data and observations that suggest work beyond writing the page.10%

Some categories have limits: originality can score up to 80, useful detail up to 85, and images and media up to 60. We can’t compare the page with the whole web or verify who made an image. Open a category to see its points and examples.

The score is a starting point for reviewing a page. It can miss good writing and give credit to made-up claims. We don’t fact-check the page, measure time spent or predict search rankings. The same text checked with the same rules gets the same score.

The name comes from contentEffort, a field in leaked Google documentation describing AI estimates of effort on article pages. Google’s formula and scores aren’t public. Our checks also draw on Google’s public guidance on helpful content .

Each result is saved with its URL, score and short excerpts. Anyone with the result link can view it; saved reports are marked not to appear in search engines. Don’t submit private or sensitive URLs. We don’t send page content to an AI provider.
