🧭 Where Your Site Audit Lives
All site audit data is accessed through the OTTO SEO section of Search Atlas. Start by navigating to Left sidebar → OTTO SEO → All Sites and clicking your project card. This opens your project's audit dashboard, where you can review crawl results and flagged issues across the Left sidebar → OTTO SEO → Site Audit → Overview (Website Overview) and Left sidebar → OTTO SEO → Site Audit → Page Explorer screens.
🐛 How to Find Your Flagged Issues
The Left sidebar → OTTO SEO → Site Audit → Overview (Website Overview) screen is your starting point for reviewing all issues detected during the most recent crawl. Issues are grouped by severity into three categories: Errors, Warnings, and Notices. Each category lists every issue type found, together with the number of affected pages.
✅ How to Access 'How to Fix' Details
The How to Fix guidance is not visible at the category level — you must click into a specific issue to reveal it. Follow these steps:
- Go to Left sidebar → OTTO SEO → All Sites and open your project card.
- Navigate to Left sidebar → OTTO SEO → Site Audit → Overview (Website Overview) to see the full issues list.
- Expand the relevant severity category (Errors, Warnings, or Notices) if it is collapsed.
- Click the specific issue name — for example, Missing Meta Descriptions or Broken Internal Links — not the category header.
- A detail panel will open showing three sections: About (an explanation of the issue), How to Fix (step-by-step remediation instructions), and Affected Pages (every URL impacted).
- Read the How to Fix section and work through the Affected Pages list to identify which URLs need to be updated.
📄 Investigating Issues by URL in Page Explorer
If you prefer to see all issues on a specific page rather than all pages with a specific issue, use the Page Explorer. Navigate to Left sidebar → OTTO SEO → Site Audit → Page Explorer, search for or select the URL you want to inspect, and a full list of flagged issues for that page will appear. Clicking any issue in this view also surfaces its How to Fix guidance.
⚠️ Common Reasons 'How to Fix' Is Not Visible
If the How to Fix section is not appearing, check the following:
- You clicked a category header, not an individual issue. Expand the category and click the specific issue name underneath it to open the detail panel.
- The crawl is still running. Issue details only fully populate after the crawl finishes. Check progress at Left sidebar → OTTO SEO → Site Audit → Crawl Monitoring and wait for the status to show as complete before reviewing results.
- The issue shows zero affected pages. If no pages are impacted, there are no fix details to display — your site passes that particular check.
- A stale browser cache. Perform a hard refresh with Ctrl + Shift + R (Windows) or Cmd + Shift + R (Mac), or open the platform in a private or incognito window.
🔄 Verifying Your Fixes After Making Changes
Once you have applied the recommended fixes to your site, trigger a new crawl to confirm the issues are resolved. From Left sidebar → OTTO SEO → Site Audit → Overview (Website Overview), click the Re-crawl button. After the crawl finishes, return to the same issue and confirm the affected page count has dropped. You can monitor crawl progress in real time at Left sidebar → OTTO SEO → Site Audit → Crawl Monitoring.
