What the priority list shows
A ranked list of issues with three buckets: critical, high, and medium. Each item shows the finding, the affected pages, the evidence behind it, and a one-click button to fix or create a task.
You see what matters now. Info-level findings stay hidden behind a toggle so they do not clutter the view.
- Critical: issues that block ranking outright (noindex on a money page, blocked by robots)
- High: issues likely to move rankings within weeks if fixed
- Medium: issues worth fixing in the next planning cycle
- Info (hidden by default): low-value findings available on request
- Each finding shows pages affected, severity reason, and recommended fix
How priorities are computed
Severity is deterministic, computed from the rule and the evidence — never from AI judgement.
- Rule-level severity (e.g., missing title is high, missing footer nav is info)
- Page importance (Search Console clicks/impressions, internal link weight)
- Confidence (evidence strength: live crawl > inference)
- Guardrails reduce severity for system pages with expected behaviour
- You can sort, filter, and override severity per finding
Who needs this
Operators staring at a hundred audit findings without knowing where to start. Quick Wins points to the five that matter this week.
Marketing leads briefing developers or writers: each finding maps cleanly to a specific task.
Agencies running monthly retainers: the priority list becomes the monthly worklist for each client.
From priority list to shipped fix
Click "Optimize" on any finding to open the right-side drawer with a full guided fix. Click "Create Task" to push it into My Tasks. Each fix is grounded in the original evidence so the work is reproducible.
The goal is to compress the gap between finding a problem and finishing it. That gap is where most SEO programs stall.

Frequently asked questions
Why are some findings hidden by default?
Info-severity findings are real but low-value. Hiding them by default keeps the high-impact items visible. Toggle "Show Info" to see everything.
Can I change a severity?
You can override severity on individual findings if you have additional context. The original severity is logged for audit history.
Are fixes automatic?
Most fixes need human review and shipping. Optimize generates the fix; you decide whether to apply it. Some on-platform issues can be one-clicked.
