The siteIQ Difference

To accurately compare a Website’s performance to competitive sites and current industry best practices requires one thing. A highly-structured and documented “level playing field” that measures every Website equally — and constantly evolves as Website requirements change.

This is the role of the siteIQ Best Practices Benchmarks.

  • These benchmarks identify and measure over 2,000 types of content, features & capabilities found on the most successful Websites in the computer industry.
  • Contain 130 metrics that measure a site’s usability & effectiveness from the visitor’s point of view.

Our evaluations analyze the full spectrum of a Website. From design to marketing to Web 2.0 and social media. From e-selling to e-commerce to customer support.

Detailed results pinpoint a Website’s real strengths and challenges. How it ranks compared to competitive sites. The facts Web teams need to prioritize activities and plan for future investments.
