Quick verdict
Generated from Xero's audit data
Xero scores 77/100 across 6 category checks, which puts it in the healthy band — focused gaps rather than systemic problems. Strengths: categories & discoverability at 100/100 and visual assets at 88/100 carry the headline — both above the 77/100 overall. Watch-items: languages (50/100) and title optimization (63/100) drag the average down; lifting languages is the single largest available lever. Per-category breakdown below.
