When to use it

Use it when

  • A page that should rank does not.
  • After fixing a page's issues.

Do not use it when

  • No specific contraindication beyond the preconditions below.

What it needs first

Preconditions

  • The account is ticked in the dashboard, confirmed via list_accounts.

Inputs

window
Analysis window.Default: last 30 days.

Procedure

In order. Every tool named is one the gateway ships, and links to its reference.

  1. Inspect the URL.

  2. Read the canonical choice against the declared one.

Decision rules

The observable condition, what it lets you conclude, and what takes the conclusion back.

  • When

    Google chose a different canonical

    Conclude

    The page competes with itself: highest-priority fix on that URL.

Evidence every conclusion must carry

  • Every figure carries its account, metric and window.
  • Anything below a readable sample size is reported as unjudged, not as zero.

Where the agent stops

  • The readout changes nothing. Any change it motivates goes through Safe Writes: preview, human confirmation, then apply.

How it goes wrong quietly

The cases where the analysis is wrong and still looks right. Read them before trusting a number.

  • Inspection reflects the last crawl, not this minute: date every claim.
