Important notes

  • • Google reviews content value and user experience holistically — not a checklist.
  • • "Sufficient content" is subjective; aim for depth over breadth.
  • • Sites must be fully functional at review time (no "under construction").
  • • Policy compliance (privacy, contact, transparency) is necessary but not sufficient.
  • • This checklist reflects site quality, not AdSense eligibility.

Next steps before applying

  1. Run Lighthouse (Performance, Accessibility, Best Practices, SEO) — fix any red flags.
  2. Submit sitemap to Google Search Console; verify indexing of core pages.
  3. Ensure 10+ guides are indexed and have dwell time (share, get real visits).
  4. Verify no crawl errors in Search Console.
  5. Confirm privacy policy exactly matches actual data practices.
  6. Test on mobile: all tools work, tables scroll, text readable.
