How do I find out a site's SQI?
There are several ways to find the site quality index for a site included in the Yandex search results:
- Go to the Site information page. You can also access it from Yandex Search results by clicking the button in the site snippet.
- Click next to the title. A search bar appears.
- Enter the site URL and click the icon.
If a dash is shown instead of the SQI, it means there is not enough site quality data available.
If the site owner placed there an icon with SQI.
If you added your site in Yandex Webmaster, information about SQI is available:
- On the Site quality → Quality indicators page. The SQI is displayed when the selected region is Russia. You can also compare your site's SQI with that of other sites here.
- On My sites page.
To receive messages about changes in your site's quality index, configure notifications.
