The report card
Best for sites that want traffic from Naver in Korea
Naver Search Advisor shows how Naver's robot collects and indexes your site, runs diagnostic and optimization reports, and takes sitemaps, feeds and robots.txt settings, free under Naver's terms. But it covers Naver only, the service and its guides are in Korean, most tools need a Naver account and proof you own the site, and the quick site check has a daily limit.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | A | Naver's terms say anyone may use it free of charge, with collection and indexing reports, diagnostics, a site optimization report and submissions included. |
| Free plan and trial | A | Free outright. The only cap on record is a daily lookup limit on the site simple check. |
| Features | C | Collection and indexing status, diagnostic reports, a site optimization report, sitemap and feed submission, robots.txt and IndexNow. The gap: it covers Naver only, and the listing shows no keyword or traffic report. |
| Ease of use | C | No rating on record. You need a Naver account and must verify the site, and the tools and guides are in Korean. |
| Platforms and integrations | C | Web only, with IndexNow pings accepted. No API or other integrations on record. |
An A is worth 4 points, a B 3, a C 2, a D 1 and an F nothing. The GPA is the average of the five.
