2. Foreword
Just at the beginning of this year we planed the analysis 100 PropTech
Homepages in Switzerland. Unfortunately, we should have a break a few weeks
because of the extraordinary situation. It is very sadly to hear thousands of
peoples are dying because of corona virus. Everyone lost their parents or family
members. God bless us and we wish everyone patient and power.
However, this situation showed us how important the digital transformation and
technologies of platforms are. The agents and landlords should have to show the
customers flats and houses with Virtual Reality tools or robo-visiting. Property
managements companies and owners started to communicate with tenants with
Video-Call or Chat-bots. Investment companies presented their projects at
webinar (Video Conference). PropTech companies were not ready such a
extraordinary situation and must have to create provisionally tools or
applications. As we noticed, we have to digitize faster than before.
The technologies of PropTech platforms are very important for players, who want
to develop new business models in real estate industry. PropTech Switzerland
Ecosystem has a more than 160 companies in nine categories. We could analyze
just 101 homepages. For the study were used to tools from woorank.com.
Naturally there are a lot of providers for SEO analyze or homepage analyze. We
tested five providers. The woorank was the best user friendly and correct
algorithm methods for analyzing of homepages.
The WooRank score, given to any website evaluated by a Review or Project, is a
snapshot analysis of the key factors that impact the search engine optimization
and usability of a particular website or webpage.
A website’s score is based on 3 main factors:
• Accessibility: Can search engines and humans visit your site and properly load
your pages?
• Readability: How easily can search engines properly interpret the content on
your pages, the context surrounding and its relevance to a particular topic?
• Quality: Does your website provide a good user experience for human visitors?
This analysis is presented on a 100-point scale (or letter grade if it's an internal
page Review).
The digital marketing world is constantly changing to keep up with advances to
technology, search engine algorithm updates and evolving SEO best practices.
Because of these and another reasons can scores change daily or after the
updates or new technologies. The evaluations of 101 homepages done between
1st March and 7th April 2020. The rating ad rankings are not definitive. Please

34. The Evaluation Methods and Scoring
“What the WooRank Score Is
The WooRank score, given to any website evaluated by a Review or Project, is a
snapshot analysis of the key factors that impact the search engine optimization
and usability of a particular website or webpage.
A website’s score is based on 3 main factors:
• Accessibility: Can search engines and humans visit your site and properly load
your pages?
• Readability: How easily can search engines properly interpret the content on
your pages, the context surrounding and its relevance to a particular topic?
• Quality: Does your website provide a good user experience for human visitors?
This analysis is presented on a 100-point scale (or letter grade if it's an internal
page Review).
A website’s score is a measure of how ready a website is to start promoting by a
digital marketing campaign. It’s also a measure of how readable, accessible
and/or usable a website is compared to another website.
How We Calculate a Website’s Score
As mentioned above, the 100-point WooRank score looks at factors that impact
a site’s SEO and user-friendliness. These factors include around 70 data points
we collect directly from the Reviewed website such as structure, content,
performance, metadata, mobile friendliness and others.
We also include data from search engines themselves, social media platforms
and other sites around the web.
We algorithmically assign point values to each data point, weighted according to
SEO and usability best practices. This algorithm assigns a score out of 100
points according to those best practices.
For internal page Reviews, we calculate a page’s score based on 30 criteria that
are specific to that page. Our algorithm then analyzes that page’s score and
assigns it a letter grade from A+ through E, with A+ being the best score a page
can get.
We use different scores for internal pages because we don’t look at the exact
same criteria for each. Some things — such as robots.txt, sitemaps or domain
registration and availability — work on a site-wide level. The data included in an
internal page Review is applicable only to that specific URL.
So since the data we analyze is different, we use a different scoring system.
35. How to Interpret or use a Website’s Score
While any website can always be improved, we generally consider websites with
a WooRank score of 70 or higher to be well optimized for both search engines
and users. This doesn’t mean your job is done, but rather a website is ready for a
marketing or other promotional campaign.
A website with a score of 40 or lower has lots of areas to improve before starting
any such campaign.
A website with a score between 41 and 69 has some opportunities to improve
that can help its marketing from good to great.
Using the WooRank score as a benchmark
The WooRank score is an effective tool to compare the quality of one website to
another. Adding competitors to a Review or Project gives users a side-by-side
comparison with up to 3 other websites. Comparing one website’s WooRank
score with another site’s score will give you a top-level look at how well each
stacks up against the other.
It’s worth noting that the WooRank score (or any third-party metric or score)
can’t be the last word when it comes to ranking a website — that’s always going
to be Google itself. A site with a lower WooRank score can rank higher than a
site with a higher score for a few reasons:
• Google sees the content on the lower-scored page as more relevant to the
user’s query.
• How important any individual factor is to a page’s ranking depends on the
query a person entered in Google. For one query, h1 content could matter more
while for another it might be backlinks.
Finally, Google does not rely on the WooRank score, or any other third-party
scoring system (like Moz’s Domain Authority or Ahref’s Domain Rating), in any
way to rank websites.
Improving a Website’s WooRank Score
If your website’s score isn’t quite what you wanted or you want to just improve it
in general, delving into the site’s Review or Project will show you how to go
about improving a website and, therefore, its WooRank score.
36. As explained above, the WooRank score is derived from the data collected in a
site’s Review or Project. We present this data in a way that will tell users what’s
impacting a website’s usability, readability and accessibility.
Each data point is color-coded to help users prioritize tasks:
• Green: This site is following best practice for this element. It could still be
optimized to improve rankings or user experience (test different keywords,
tweaking content, building new links, etc.), but it’s not taking away from your
marketing efforts.
• Orange: There’s nothing technically incorrect about this element but it could
be improved or better optimized to help a site rank better.
• Red: There’s a serious error with the site in regards to this data point.
Depending on what’s shown as red, it could mean that a site is inaccessible or
unreadable.
• Gray: This data is shown solely for the user’s information and does not impact
the site’s WooRank score.
Improve a site’s score by fixing issues marked in red or orange. Tooltips under
each data point will tell you how much impact fixing an error can have as well as
how easy they are to fix. Click the question mark next to the Review or Project
data to see an explanation of the data and some advice on improving your site:”
