# Test SEO

SEO Checks score the page with Lighthouse during the Run. Use them on landing pages, marketing pages, and other screens where search readiness matters alongside the functional journey.

Use the **Flow Builder** for this walkthrough.

## Add an SEO Check

{% stepper %}
{% step %}

## Open the page

Start with [**Open**](/test-steps/starter/open.md). Navigate to the page you want to score if it is not the first screen.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

## Add SEO

From the [**Validator**](/test-steps/validator.md) family, add [**SEO**](/test-steps/validator/seo.md).

1. Choose a [Comparison Type](/test-step-options/comparison-type.md). The default is greater than or equal to.
2. Set **Value** to the score your team expects. The default is `85`.
   {% endstep %}

{% step %}

## Run and read the result

Start the Run. Open the SEO step in the result to compare the score with your threshold.
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

**Pro tip:** Pair SEO with [**Check links**](/test-steps/check/check-links.md) on the same page when broken links are part of what you want to catch. See [Check links](/better-coverage/check-links.md).
