Google’s John Mueller addressed a question regarding the impact of poor HTML, grammar, and spelling on search rankings. He came out with two answers since HTML is a technical issue and grammar and spelling are quality issues that can impact the user experience.

The question:

“Do Google’s search algos check the broken HTML or spelling mistakes or grammatical mistakes, taking into account the search ranking?”

A few questions have a reasonable and clear answer and John Mueller will typically answer immediately.

For this question, John Mueller paused to think a moment before answering.

Impact of Broken HTML on Search Rankings

He addressed first broken HTML, explaining that HTML must be broken to such an extent that Google can’t figure out it.

Mueller:

“Those are kind of different situations. Uh… for the most part we don’t care about HTML if it’s broken or not.

The greater part of the web doesn’t have valid HTML and we have to live with it.

The main exceptions that I am aware of with respect to broken HTML are if it’s truly broken in an awful manner on the off chance that we can’t perceive that a page is mobile-friendly.

Or on the other hand, assuming we can’t perceive that this is a title or a heading, clearly, we can’t do a ton of things with the HTML.

That is … sort of the one case there and typically those sorts of broken pages are extremely broken in the browser as well.

So, if you take a gander at the page and they don’t load as expected, presumably, you need to fix that.

Notwithstanding, on the off chance that you take a gander at the page and it looks normal in the browser, then, at that point, regardless of if there’s broken HTML likely, that is alright.”

Poor Grammar and Spelling are Quality Issues

Next, John Mueller addressed the second piece of the inquiry that dealt with poor grammar and spelling with regards to search performance.

He takes note of that poor spelling grammar is something that users see, and in this way turns into a quality issue.

Mueller:

“With regard to spelling errors, grammatical errors, I think that’s something that’s a bit more of almost like a gray zone in that on the one hand we have to be able to recognize what a page is about.

Furthermore, in the event that we can’t perceive that in light of the fact that there are such countless errors on the page in the text, then, at that point that makes it harder.

The other aspect is also that we try to find really high-quality content on the web and sometimes it can appear that a page is lower quality content because it has a lot of …kind of… grammatical and technical mistakes in the text.

So that’s something was from my point of view if you’re aware of these kinds of issues I would just fix that.

So that is something where from my perspective in case you’re mindful of these sorts of issues I would simply fix that.

I would almost say …like… spelling and grammar is probably for most websites a higher priority than broken HTML.

I would nearly say … like… spelling and punctuation is presumably for most sites a higher need than broken HTML.

But it’s …I mean…it’s really hard to compare because they’re very different things in that one is more of a technical issue (the HTML side) and the other is more almost like a quality issue and something that users tend to see so it’s like the kind of different things.”

Ranking Impact of Broken HTML, Poor Grammar, and Bad Spelling

HTML has to be very bad before it impacts rankings, since it makes it hard for Google to sort out the web page since it cannot identify page elements like titles and headings or even to recognize where the content is.

Some HTML is poor to the point that page elements like

seep into the apparent piece of the web page. Something to that effect could make it hard for Google to understand the web page.

HTML that doesn’t adjust to web standards is normal and Google (and internet browsers) can sort out that.

John Mueller gave a general guideline test that assuming a web page can’t be delivered well in an internet browser, it’s likely necessities fixing.

Next Mueller clarified that bad spelling, as well as poor language, can affect rankings since it impacts users and, is accordingly a quality issue.

That is somewhat like his answer in another Office Hours hangout about auto-translated content that results in awkward grammar and would presumably have a tough time ranking, in light of the quality issues.
