# Checklist in Acendy control panel for SEO/Marketing

This article explains how to use the SEO and marketing checklist in the Acendy control panel to improve search engine visibility.

## What is the SEO checklist?

On the front page of your control panel, you have access to a dynamic checklist that shows which basic SEO and marketing measures have been completed in your online store.  
To achieve 100% on each item, the corresponding settings must be filled out in the control panel.
