# AE24-029

Audit scoring must be transparent, defensible, and strategically calibrated: aim for initial free audit scores in the 40-70 range for most businesses. Sub-40 signals critical issues, 70+ indicates a good base with optimization room. Weighting: Design 15%, Content 20%, SEO/Technical 25%, Trust Signals 20%, Conversion 20%. Each metric normalized to 0-10 then weighted.
