🤔 Why your new audit does not appear
When you add URLs and start a new site audit, the audit is created and begins processing correctly — but it is added to the bottom of your All Audits list, not the top.
If you have several existing audits, the new one may not be visible without scrolling or loading more results.
📍 How to find your audit
- Go to OTTO SEO → Site Audit in the left sidebar of your Search Atlas dashboard
- On the All Audits page, scroll to the bottom of the list
- Click Load More to reveal additional audits
- Your new audit will appear at the bottom of the expanded list
The All Audits page also has a sort control shown as Sorting: Recently Added. It is easy to overlook because it does not look interactive, but you can use it to reorder the list and help bring your most recent audit into view. An update to this page is in development to make the sort control more discoverable and to surface common actions (such as Recrawl and Crawl Settings) directly on each audit card.
⏳ The audit is still processing
Newly created audits may show a processing or crawling status while Search Atlas scans your URLs. This is normal and can take a few minutes depending on the size of your site.
🆘 Still cannot find it?
If the audit does not appear even after clicking Load More and waiting a few minutes, it is possible it was never created because the URL failed a pre-audit validation check. When validation fails, the Create Site Audit modal normally shows a red alert box describing the problem — for example the site being unreachable, a bad SSL certificate, or the homepage redirecting to an external domain.
Note that some validation failures — such as a blocked (non-public) domain or a site that returns an HTTP error — may currently fail without an on-screen message; clearer messaging for these cases is in development. If a brand-new audit never appears, confirm the URL is publicly accessible, online, and returns no errors, then try creating it again.
If you still cannot locate the audit, contact support with the URL you submitted and the date/time you created the audit.
