BackEngine's strongest audit area is Description & Content, scored at 80/100. Of the 5 checks AppRanks runs in this category, 3 pass cleanly, with the remainder in warning rather than failing state. This is the dimension a competing listing would need to match before BackEngine loses its current edge in this category.
The weakest area in BackEngine's audit is Languages, scored at 0/100. The failing checks are language count, each with a concrete fix described below.
