Property scope
Property scope checks whether part of your content lives on another host, such as a blog subdomain, that your main site neither declares nor links to. Content stranded on a separate host cannot pass its standing to the pages that sell your offer.

Reading the result
What good looks like, and what a problem looks like.
Good
There is no separate content host, or it is declared and linked from the main site.
Not measured
When this cannot be checked, the result says so and leaves it out of the score. Unknown is not zero.
Typical problems
- A separate host publishes pages of its own and is neither declared nor linked.
- Site-wide results describe only the main host while content lives elsewhere.
What it cannot prove
- It looks for common names such as a blog or help site. A host under an unusual name may not be found.
- If the other host redirects into your main site, the check reports a move in progress and is not scored, rather than calling the content stranded.
