# **🧭 Overview** When OTTO surfaces issues under **Onpage Optimizations**, it is showing you a list of identified problems on your site β€” not a list of ready-made fixes. Suggested fixes are a **separate step** that must be triggered deliberately. Recrawling your site will **not** populate blank suggested fixes, and there is no automatic background process that generates them after a crawl completes. If you see hundreds of blank fix entries alongside only a handful of populated ones (for example, 4–6 populated out of hundreds), this means fixes have not yet been generated for those items β€” not that something went wrong with the crawl. # **πŸ—ΊοΈ How the Two-Step Model Works** Understanding the distinction between these two steps is the key to resolving blank suggested fixes: 1. **Step 1 β€” Issue Discovery (Site Audit / Onpage Optimizations):** When OTTO crawls your site, it identifies SEO issues and opportunities β€” missing meta descriptions, thin content, broken links, and so on. This step populates the issue list under **Left sidebar β†’ OTTO SEO β†’ Overview** and related views. It does *not* generate the actual fix content. 2. **Step 2 β€” Fix Generation (Manual or Atlas Agent):** Suggested fixes must be explicitly created. You choose how: write them yourself, or use Atlas Agent to generate them automatically at scale. Until this step is completed for a given issue, its suggested fix field remains blank. # **βœ… How to Populate Blank Suggested Fixes** Choose the method that best fits your workflow: - **Manually write a fix:** Navigate to **Left sidebar β†’ OTTO SEO β†’ Overview**, open an issue with a blank fix, and enter your fix content directly in the suggested fix field. - **Use Atlas Agent for bulk generation:** Atlas Agent can generate suggested fixes across multiple issues automatically. Navigate to **Left sidebar β†’ OTTO SEO β†’ Tasks** and use Atlas Agent to trigger fix generation for the issues you want to address. This is the recommended approach when you have a large number of blank fixes. - **Work through Page Explorer:** Navigate to **Left sidebar β†’ OTTO SEO β†’ Site Audit β†’ Page Explorer** to review issues on a page-by-page basis and generate or enter fixes for each page individually. # **πŸ”„ What Recrawling Actually Does** Recrawling your site from **Left sidebar β†’ OTTO SEO β†’ Site Audit β†’ Crawl Monitoring** refreshes the **issue discovery layer** only. It updates which problems exist on your site based on its current state. It does **not**: - Auto-generate suggested fix content for new or existing issues - Restore or recover previously blank fix entries - Trigger any background reprocessing of fix data After a recrawl, you may see updated issue counts or new issues appear β€” but any fix entries that were blank before will remain blank until you generate them using the steps above. ​ # **πŸ’‘ Tips for Large Sites** - If you have hundreds of blank fixes (as is common after an initial audit of a large site like a roofing company with many service pages), use **Atlas Agent in bulk** rather than filling fixes one by one. - Prioritise high-impact issue types first β€” for example, missing title tags or meta descriptions β€” before moving to lower-priority items. - Check **Left sidebar β†’ OTTO SEO β†’ Tasks** to monitor the status of any Atlas Agent fix-generation jobs you have submitted. # **🚫 A Note on Support Guidance** There is no feature called a **manual project reprocess** in the platform, and no internal team action that can bulk-generate suggested fixes on your behalf. If you have been advised to wait for a reprocess, please disregard that guidance and follow the steps in this article instead to generate your fixes directly. ​ # **πŸ’¬ Still Need Help?** If you need further assistance, open the chat widget in the bottom-right corner of the platform and type **human teammate** to be connected with a member of our team.
