Changes to the site quality index (SQI)

The chart shows dynamic trends in your site's SQI. You can also see the SQI of other sites if you add them to the comparison list.

To view your site's SQI over a certain period, set the date range. SQI for other sites is displayed starting from November 20, 2019.

Compare your website with other sites

You can compare your site with others based on indicators that show the site dynamics in your business niche:
  • The SQI indicator.
  • If the site has Turbo pages.
  • The site's rating on Yandex.Market, if the site is a partner. Store rating shows how satisfied customers are with its work.
  • Availability of an existing organization in Yandex.Business. Data about the organization added to Yandex.Business is displayed in the Yandex search results, on Yandex.Maps and in other services.
  • Site rating. 1–3 are considered bad ratings and 4 and 5 are considered good. When rating a site, users can leave a review about it. Ratings can be displayed on the Quality indicators page if there's more than 10 site reviews.

  • Progress in getting badges. Some badges may already be awarded and their label is shown. For other badges, there is a progress bar showing the site's current progress towards obtaining the badge. The label may be gray if there is not enough data to confirm it. Some badges may not be displayed if they haven't been awarded yet.

    Note. The badges available and site's progress to receiving them may differ from country to country.

To compare indicators, click Add site. You can add up to 20 sites.

To remove a site from the comparison, hover over the line with the desired site and click the icon to the left of the site URL.
