In brief
The Optimise tab is a checklist of 28 GEO and SEO checks for each page you add. Check the live page to tick what is already in place, tick the rest by hand as you fix them, and send anything outstanding to Work.
Key points
- Each page has 28 checks in six groups, from schema to images.
- Check the page reads the live page and ticks what it finds.
- Four checks can't be seen from the page code, so you tick those yourself.
- Pages cited in AI answers get an AI Cited badge.
- Send one check or every failing check in a group to Work.
- Checking the page uses no AI and no credits.

What each part of the screen means
The cards at the top
- Total URLs is the number of pages you're tracking.
- Fully Optimised is the number of pages with every check done, and their share of the total.
- In Progress is the number of pages with some checks done.
- AI Cited is the number of pages that have appeared in AI results.
Daily Activity (14 days) shows how many pages were worked on each day. Completion splits your pages into fully done, in progress and not started.
The page list
Each row shows the web address, an AI Cited badge if AI answers have cited that page, and a progress bar with checks done out of the total. When a row is closed, the first five outstanding checks show under the address. Use the search box above the list to find a page.
Inside a page
The summary line shows how many checks are in place and how many are still to do. After a page check, it says when the live page was last checked.
Under each check you may see a short note from the page check, such as the schema types found or the number of words. Next to a done check you'll see who ticked it and when. Checks found automatically say Found on the page.
A warning under a ticked check means it was ticked by hand, but the last page check didn't find it. Look at the page again to confirm.
Four checks can't be seen from the page code. These are page speed, image compression, conversational tone and Google AI Overviews eligibility. Tick them yourself once you've checked them.
How this fits with other tools
The Optimise tab tracks progress. For a page's full analysis and suggested fixes, open it in Page checks. To see which of your pages AI engines already cite, see Top citations and URL mentions. If a check needs new content, use Content drafts.
