The six things an Australian shop is asked for, watched daily
It reads the six Australian checks once a day and tells you when one that was passing stops. It drafts the four documents you are asked for, and it checks your ABN against the register.
It attaches to any licence, and to an account with none.

The checks you passed in March, still passing in October
The six checks are a privacy policy a visitor can find, contact details on the site, an ABN on the site, refund wording that agrees with the law, a way to agree if anything is measuring visitors, and how long delivery takes in writing.
The free plugin runs them when you open the screen. This pack reads them once a day and says when one that was passing stops: an email to the site admin address, once per change rather than once a day, a notice on every admin screen while it stands, and the same answer through WordPress Site Health.
An alert clears itself when the check passes again. There is nothing to acknowledge and nothing to tidy up.

- Any licence tier, or none: this pack is bought on its own
- Your own free ABN Lookup key, only for the register check
- Nothing else: no part of this pack calls the SolSEO service
What the Australian pack does
Six checks, read once a day
On a daily schedule that starts an hour after you switch the pack on. The first run never alerts, because everything is new on the first run.
One email per change, not one a day
Two checks stopping in the same run is one email naming both. A check that is still failing tomorrow sends nothing tomorrow.
A notice while it stands
On every admin screen, for the people who can do something about it, and dismissable per person and per alert so dismissing this one does not silence the next.
It goes away by itself
Fix the page and the next reading clears the alert. There is no acknowledge button, because an acknowledge button is a way of making a failure look handled.
And it shows up in Site Health
One test on the WordPress Site Health screen, so the pack says the same thing in the place a developer looks.
Your ABN, checked on your own server
Eleven digits against the published weighting, with no network call and no credential. A typed ABN that fails the check is refused rather than stored.
And against the register, if you want
Paste your own free ABN Lookup key and the pack asks the Australian Business Register who the ABN belongs to, then compares the registered names with what the site calls itself.
Four documents to start from
A privacy policy, refunds and returns, shipping and delivery, and terms of sale. Each one is written against the regulator's own guidance, inserted as a draft page, and never published for you.
The parts only you can answer are marked
Rather than guessed at. Each document counts them, so you can see what is left before you open it. None of this is legal advice and the screen says so.
Bought on its own, on any account
The Australian pack is an add-on rather than a rung on the licence ladder. It attaches to a Pro key, to a SolSEO plan, and to somebody who holds neither and runs the free plugin.
It is billed yearly because what it sells is the watching: checks that run again when the rules move, rather than a report you read once.
Australian dollars with GST already in the number. Nothing here renews monthly.

Common questions about SolSEO Australian pack
Which six checks does the Australian pack watch?
A privacy policy a visitor can find, contact details on the site, an ABN on the site, refund wording that agrees with the law, a way to agree if anything is measuring visitors, and how long delivery takes in writing.
How is the ABN checked?
The eleven digit checksum is worked out on your own server with no network call. If you paste your own free ABN Lookup key, the pack asks the Australian Business Register who the ABN belongs to and compares those names with your site name.
Are the four documents legal advice?
No. They are starting text written against the regulator's own guidance, inserted as draft pages, with the parts only you can answer marked in the text. Nothing in the pack is legal advice and the screen says so.
Find out the week your privacy policy disappeared
Not the week your customer does. Switch the pack on and the first email you get is the one about a check that used to pass.
- The free plugin is where every one of these starts.
- SolSEO Pro holds the licence key the packs read.
- The documentation covers installing and pairing.
