Absolute scores are useful, but not enough. This skill answers:

• How does this site compare to the category median?
• Which trust, content, or UX signals are below market expectations?
• Which improvements close the most competitive gap fastest?

Benchmark Dimensions

1. Content depth and consistency
2. Trust and editorial signals
3. UX clarity and ad readiness
4. Technical hygiene and speed
5. Search integrity and spam avoidance
6. Monetization maturity
