How the certification works

  1. Pick a level

    Read the syllabus first. No account is needed to look around.

  2. Take 30 questions

    One question per screen, timed, with mark-for-review. Answers save as you go.

  3. See what you missed

    Topic scores, an explanation for every question, and a reading list built from your gaps.

  4. Earn and share

    Pass to get a PDF certificate with a credential ID, a public verification page and an Add to LinkedIn button.

A certificate anyone can check

Each certificate carries a unique, unguessable credential ID and a QR code that opens its public verification page. Revoked credentials show as revoked, immediately.

You decide whether your name and score appear publicly. Your email address never does.

Why take it

Practical, not trivia

Scenarios, audits and data interpretation: the decisions SEOs make at work, not glossary recall.

Learn from every miss

Each explanation says why the answer is right, why the alternatives are wrong, and links to the documentation behind it.

Official vs opinion, labelled

Questions are tagged as official search-engine guidance or industry practice, so you know what kind of claim you are learning.

A real learning path

Weak topics come with concepts to revisit, reviewed reading in order, and a retake when you are ready.

Verifiable credential

A public page, QR code and credential ID that employers and clients can check in seconds.

Fresh every attempt

Weighted random selection with recent-question avoidance means retakes test knowledge, not memory.

Frequently asked questions

Is this a Google certification?

No. CrunchWiser certificates are independently issued by CrunchWiser. They are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or equivalent to any Google certification.

Do I need an account?

You can browse everything and start an assessment with just your name and email. To receive a certificate we confirm your email address, which also creates your account so you can download and verify it later.

What happens if I close the tab or lose connection?

Answers save on the server as you go. Reopen the assessment from the same browser, your account, or the resume link we email you. The timer keeps running while you are away.

Are there multiple-answer questions?

Yes, a few. They are clearly labelled "Select all that apply" and only score when you select exactly the correct set.

How is my score calculated?

Each question is worth the same by default. Your percentage is correct answers divided by 30. The pass decision uses the exact threshold (for example 21/30 is exactly 70%), never a rounded number.

Can I retake if I fail?

Yes. A short cooldown applies so you can review the feedback, and a limited number of attempts are allowed in 30 days. Each retake draws a different set of questions where the bank allows.

Does passing prove I can do the job?

No multiple-choice assessment can measure real-world performance on its own. The certificate shows you demonstrated the knowledge tested at that level, at that time.

Who sees my name and score?

Your verification page shows your name only if you consent, and your score only if you opt in. You can change both at any time from your account.
