Passive Voice Checker FAQ
Is the passive voice checker free?
Yes. The passive voice checker is free to use on Seobase with no signup required for the on-page passive voice report.
Can I use the passive voice checker for SEO content?
Yes. The tool is built for search-focused workflows and pairs best with human review before publishing.
Why does passive voice matter for web writing?
It's not wrong, but it usually reads as vaguer and less direct, "the report was written by the team" takes longer to parse than "the team wrote the report." For web copy, where readers skim, active voice usually communicates faster.
Should I remove every passive sentence it flags?
No, passive voice is sometimes the right choice, like when the actor is unknown or irrelevant ("the site was hacked in March"). Treat flagged sentences as a prompt to check, not a rule to obey automatically.
Does it rewrite the passive sentences for me?
It flags them so you can see exactly where the draft goes passive; rewriting is a manual step, since converting a sentence cleanly usually needs you to decide who the actor should be.
