      <image:title>Blog - Is Your Website Working—or Just…There? - Why This Checklist Exists</image:title>
      <image:caption>Most small businesses, nonprofits, and personal brands don’t have the time—or interest—to wade through technical SEO reports or dive into Google Analytics every week. But that doesn’t mean you can’t keep your site sharp. This checklist offers a focused, 10–15 minute audit to help you answer one key question: Is my website helping or holding me back? I use it internally when reviewing client sites. Now it’s yours, too.</image:caption>
