The score is a guide, not a pass-or-fail test. Use it to spot weak spots, then fix them.
What goes into the score
ZeroRank looks at 6 signals. Each one gets its own grade from 0 to 100. Then we mix them together. Some signals count more than others, so each has a weight.
Your overall score is the weighted average of these 6 grades. So the signals with bigger weights move your score the most.
