SEO Audit / infographi.ac

A full technical, content, authority and AI-search audit of Infographiac, run October 17, 2026 against Google US. The short version: you have built a genuine library of 165 infographics, and almost nobody can find it. A third of the index is junk, the money topic is split six ways, the images are invisible to image search, and there is one independent link.

01 · Executive summary

The verdict

Seven pillars, weighted into one score, then the six findings that explain it.

Overall SEO health
Built, not yet found

Infographiac has the hard part done: 165 infographic articles averaging 1,320 words, clean plumbing and schema on every post. What it does not have is a search presence. 20 keywords rank, none in the top 20, and the export shows 10 clicks. The reasons are fixable and mostly self-inflicted: 89 junk pages in the index, six URLs splitting the submission topic (one canonicalized to a 404), 83% of images without alt text on a site whose product is images, 9 to 15 MB pages, and one independent referring domain. Meanwhile, pages you already published match about 100,000 monthly searches at low difficulty.

What is working

02 · Organic visibility

A library with no footprint

20 US keywords, none on the first two pages, and a 2025 collapse that followed the publishing stop.

Fallout

Publishing stopped, rankings followed

Ranked keywords hit 36 in February 2025, two months after 71 posts went live in December 2024. Publishing then nearly stopped (3 posts from June 2025 to August 2026) and rankings fell to 1 by October 2025. Rankings rebuilt through spring and summer 2026 to 41 in September, and have already slipped to 21 this month.

Brand

"Infographiac" does not find infographi.ac

The brand search returns coolinfographics.com, YouTube and Adobe Spark; the site is not in the top 20. The homepage says only "Visual & Graphical Database" in its title and description, and there is no Organization schema with sameAs links to give Google an entity.

03 · The money topic

Six pages, one query, zero rankings

Infographic submission is the topic that sells your packages. It is also the most tangled part of the site.

Small volume, high commercial value

Fallout

Your best page tells Google to ignore it

/submission-sites/ had the strongest engagement in GA4 (22 views, 20-minute sessions). Its canonical points to /download-free-list-of-60-infographic-sites/, which returns 404, so Google is instructed to index nothing. Meanwhile the old /submitting-infographics-top-sites…/ URL is a 404 that still holds 4 of your 20 ranked keywords.

Fix

One list, one form

  • Keep /infographic-submission-sites/ as the single, dated, maintained list
  • Keep /submit-infographic/ as the conversion form
  • 301 the other four into the list
  • Link it from Guestographics, both packages and the homepage
  • Let optimizationtheory.com own the research study and link across

Observation

The directories you list are your benchmark

Even small submission directories such as opeepl.com (1,708 referring domains), sbmediashowcase.com (1,650) and infographicplaza.com (2,966) out-link infographi.ac by 275 to 500 times. Google's competitor model pairs you with Piktochart, Shutterstock, Pew Research and Statista because of the social-media and data topics you cover, not with other infographic hubs.

06 · Technical health

Clean pipes, a third of the index is junk

HTTPS, host redirects, robots.txt and llms.txt are fine. The problem is which pages are indexable and listed.

89 pages that should not be in Google

49 community-profile URLs for 11 accounts (7 look like bot sign-ups: jJjE8U5oGb, eLBhX9dc0U, 0mtRurmISX…), 25 King theme demo and video posts, 12 account screens including three identical Sample Pages, and 3 empty tag archives.

Crawl paths

Navigation points at the demos

/trivia/, /poll/, /list/ and three /type/ archives are linked from every page, while 60 articles get 3 or fewer internal links. All 20 /page/2/ archives are noindex,nofollow, so older posts lose their path in.

Invisible to image search, slow to everyone

An infographic site lives on Google Images and image packs. Here 83% of image tags have no alt text and only 1% of uploads are WebP. The Boy Scouts guide sends 14.1 MB and paints in 47.1 s; the homepage sends 9.2 MB. The text-led Submission Sites page proves the theme can be fast: 389 KB, 3.9 s, performance 82. Serve thumbnails with srcset, open the full file on click, and describe every graphic in words.

Where the snippets leak

  • 207 of 297 meta descriptions run past 160 characters; only 5 sit in the 121 to 160 range.
  • The homepage has no H1 and the description "Visual & Graphical Database".
  • Three Sample Pages share WordPress's "This is an example page" text.
  • 98 titles exceed 70 characters; 37 are under 30 ("Polls » Infographiac").
  • Typos in slugs and titles: corperate, buide, improvment, yofa, hot-to-speak, astroids.

All 12 SERPs checked show an AI Overview, and AI systems cannot read the numbers inside a PNG. A 50-word answer-first summary and a structured text version of the data (a short list or table, with sources) under each infographic is what gets lifted and cited. The Gen Z slang piece already earns a ChatGPT citation because its text answers the question directly.
