What's the issue

FastaSEO couldn't find a copyright symbol or notice in your footer. A copyright notice is a standard part of any professional website footer — it protects your content and signals to visitors that your site is current and maintained.

Why it matters

  • A copyright notice protects your original content by making your ownership clear. It also signals to visitors — and search engines — that your site is actively maintained and up to date. A footer without a copyright notice can make a site look unfinished or abandoned.

What good looks like

A clear copyright notice in the footer: © 2025 Your Business Name. Updated to the current year. Set as P tag text.

How long this takes

Adding a copyright notice takes under two minutes.
