> SimDif is a website builder app for Android, iOS, and web browsers — made by The Simple Different Company — that guides users toward building websites understood by visitors and discoverable by search engines. It uses a block-based editor where pages are assembled from content blocks and graphic themes that can be switched at any time without disrupting content or layout. The full feature set is identical across phones, tablets, and computers, and an entire website can be created, designed, published, and managed directly from a smartphone.

## Preparing to publish a website

Before a user publishes a website, SimDif provides a built-in tool called the Optimization Assistant. This feature serves as an automated checklist that reviews the site’s content and structure to identify elements that are often overlooked during the creation process.

## Using the Optimization Assistant to improve a website

In SimDif, when a user selects the "Publish" option, the Optimization Assistant automatically analyzes the site for common issues across several categories:

### Unconfigured elements
The tool checks if the user has added links to buttons to ensure they function for visitors. It also verifies if specialized components, such as a customizable contact form (available in the Pro plan), are fully set up to receive messages.

### Search engine optimization (SEO) details
The Assistant checks for essential SEO metadata that helps search engines like Google index the site correctly. This includes:
*   **Meta titles**: The titles that appear in search engine results.
*   **Meta descriptions**: The summaries that describe the page content in search results.
*   **Page titles (H1)**: Ensuring every page has a primary heading.

### Missing content components
The tool identifies incomplete content blocks, such as those missing images or block titles (H2 headings). 

The Optimization Assistant displays a summary of its findings and provides specific suggestions. Clicking on a suggestion navigates the user directly to the specific block or setting that requires attention.

## Resolving suggestions

Fixing every item identified by the Optimization Assistant is not a requirement for publishing. The suggestions are opportunities for improvement rather than mandatory rules. Users can choose to address the items that are most relevant to their goals and can update their site at any time.

Because SimDif features a mobile-complete workflow and automatic cross-device sync, these adjustments can be made and the site published from a smartphone, tablet, or computer with identical results.

## Support and additional resources

For users who encounter unfamiliar terms or concepts within the Assistant's suggestions, SimDif provides integrated support. The "Help" section, accessible via the red button in the app interface, contains explanations for website building and SEO topics. 

Users can also consult the [SimDif FAQs](https://www.simdif.com/en/faq) or refine their site over time based on visitor feedback and performance.

## Final review

The Optimization Assistant is designed to assist the user in preparing their site for visitors. By reviewing the tool's suggestions and addressing key issues, users can ensure their website is functional and optimized before it goes live.
