    Business Information
    Locations
    Content Settings
    Knowledge Graph (Top Pages, authorship, social profiles)

    A visible completion bar indicates how fully the Brand Vault has been configured.

- 🔗 GBP (Google Business Profile) & GSC (Google Search Console) Integrations
  - Green check marks next to each confirm a successful connection.
  - Missing integrations may limit data accuracy and feature activation.
  Functional Role
  GBP and GSC integrations affect:
  - Local SEO synchronization
  - Keyword performance data
  - Top Pages keyword population
  - Feature activation for OTTO
  - Data accuracy in recommendations
  If either integration is not connected, certain automation features may be limited.

  Clicking the gear icon opens the OTTO configuration panel, where users can:

  This panel controls execution settings, not business data.

Visual Update
Legacy floating metrics have been removed.
The grading system is now embedded directly within the main configuration panel.
Function
The Autograder evaluates:
- Domain health

- Technical optimization signals
It provides a structured grade based on current implementation.
