Definition
The site note on puneetindersingh/open-seo-crawler, an MIT-licensed project, says the checklist names titles, sitemaps, hreflang, duplicates, broken links, noindex, status codes, canonicals, and soft 404s. Mika Visibility does not claim to have copied that repository's documentation.
Short answer
Read the checklist as a coverage map of what a crawl can surface, not as a scoreboard and not as a blended overall score. Those technical rows stay separate from GEO answer quality, which still needs entities, evidence, and direct answers.
What to check
- Titles and sitemaps are on the list
- Hreflang and canonicals are named
- Broken links and status codes appear
- Soft 404s and noindex are included
What this does not claim
Running an open-source crawl checklist does not guarantee that every issue is found or that any page will be cited. The note describes what those checks name, and it does not guarantee a visibility outcome.
A practical example
A crawl can show a missing title, a sitemap URL that is noindex, a broken link, and a soft 404 on different rows of one coverage map. That map is not a claim that Mika copied the open-seo-crawler documentation, and it is not a single health number.
