What does your publishing business score out of 100?


You know what your pages made last month. Here is a better question: do you know what you have built?

Most publishers run their business like a paycheck. The strongest ones run it like an asset: something with a grade, a plan, and a path to a bigger number. Today we are handing you the tool we use to tell the difference.

PubScore is live, and it is free.

It scores your whole publishing business out of 100 across 8 categories: social presence, your owned website, syndication, revenue diversification, audience growth, operations, AI visibility, and risk. Under ten minutes, ranges only. No logins, no spreadsheets, no analytics exports. Your score and tier appear on screen the moment you finish.

Then your PubScore Report lands in your inbox:

  • all 8 categories graded, showing at a glance where the business is solid and where it is thin
  • a ten lane asset map: the lanes you run today, the ones you own but parked, and the ones you have not opened yet
  • your three biggest gaps, each with ranked moves to start this week, with or without us

Inside it sits your Valuation Snapshot: an indicative range built the way buyers price publishing assets, at a multiple of monthly earnings, 24x to 36x on our marketplace. The sample on the page reads $1,049,131 to $1,419,412 for a publisher scoring 91 out of 100. It shows the shape of the document, not a prediction of yours: every range is indicative, and every business prices on its own numbers. Clear the valuation threshold and your Snapshot arrives as its own standalone document. Not there yet? Then the report names the exact gaps to close first, and this page is often worth more than the number.

We built the scoring engine for ourselves before anyone else. It runs on the same framework behind our paid audits and professional valuations, from the operators behind a 300M+ follower publishing network. The first business we ever scored was our own.

No card. No sales call. Your numbers stay private. And our favorite part: retake it every 90 days. Close a gap, watch your score move.

Ten minutes from now you will know your business the way a buyer would. It changes what you build next.
