Questions about the audit service

Publicly reachable websites in these audit areas: accessibility (WCAG 2.2 A/AA), SEO, GEO (AI visibility), Core Web Vitals, GDPR & cookies, indexing & technology, responsive and software currency. Each audit area is assessed separately and receives its own seal.

Every seal links to its public verification page at /zertifikat/<audit ID>. It shows domain, audit area, score, audit date, validity and status; revoked or expired seals remain listed there too.

No. The audit is a documented technical examination according to published audit regulations, neither an administrative act nor legal advice. Its strength is verifiability.

Because you can check it yourself: every seal is publicly verifiable, the procedure is documented, and the measurement core is checked against a test page with known defects. An empty audit counts as an error with us, never as a pass.

Yes. Addresses your robots.txt blocks for the auditor (product token EuidPruefservice) are not requested, even if they are listed in your sitemap. Such an exclusion is explicitly reported in the result and not shown as missing content. If the home page itself is blocked, no audit takes place at all. That matters because a needs analysis requires no proof of domain ownership.

It names the version of the rules the audit was made against. Rules change; what counts as met today may be tightened tomorrow. Without this information an old seal could not be placed: nobody would know what it passed against. Together with audit date and validity, the rule-set version is what makes a seal verifiable at all.

The requested addresses, the measurements and findings derived from them, the audit scope and the billing data of the audit. What is stored is what is needed to trace a result; a seal whose basis can no longer be inspected would be worthless. What is processed in detail is in the privacy policy.

Open the verification page the seal links to. If the domain named there does not match the website you see it on, or if it is expired or revoked, then the website carries a seal it is not entitled to. Report the address and the audit ID to us; this path is the reason every seal is publicly verifiable.

The complete operator details are in the imprint. As long as details are missing there, the page shows the gap openly instead of filling it with placeholders; an imprint with invented data would be a false statement about a real person, and an audit service that starts that way has missed its own point.
