How to read the tables: On its own? says whether the fix goes live without a click unless you chose Approval mode (see approval modes). Fixes that go live on their own are listed in a daily email with an Undo link. Verdict after is the number of days from the change to the result. Once a fix has run, its card uses the past tense, for example Rewrote the title & description.

Good to Know#
- Costs. Each card shows an estimate, such as About 2,500 to 8,000 credits. You are charged what the run actually uses, and a failed run is refunded. See how credits work.
- Preview before approval exists for title and description rewrites, page-one pushes and social share previews. Changes to page text are shown after they are written. To read every change before it goes live, use Approval mode.
- Fixes for AI answers. Citable passages, AI answer passages, trust signals, FAQ sections, your brand ID card, community briefs and crawler access aim to get ChatGPT, Claude and Google AI Overviews to name you. See how agents improve your AI visibility.
- What your platform allows decides whether a fix is written for you or handed to you to paste. See what agents can change on each platform.
- Results that get worse. Fixes marked Undo in one click are undone automatically if they measurably hurt clicks, except during a week when Google's rankings move across many sites. Other changes, including page text and articles that went live on their own, are flagged for you to decide.
