Technical SEO for the answer surface

Start with the page the answer cites

Technical SEO usually arrives as a backlog: missing canonicals, thin schema, orphaned pages, blocked crawlers. A generic audit can list hundreds of items and still leave you guessing which one changes an answer. Sonarvue starts from the prompt. When a competitor is cited instead of you, the agent traces the cited URL, compares it with your closest page, and isolates the crawl, structure, or trust issue that makes the difference.

That gives the work an order. A blocked crawler outranks a cosmetic heading change. A missing comparison page outranks a metadata tweak. You see the evidence before anyone opens a ticket.

What the agent checks

• Crawl access. Robots rules, WAF blocks, and AI crawler access for the engines that matter to your buyers.
• Indexability and rendering. Whether the page can be discovered, rendered, and read as the buyer sees it.
• Structure for extraction. Headings, answer-first paragraphs, lists, tables, and schema that make a page easy to quote.
• Internal links and entity clarity. Whether the page is connected to the rest of your site and says plainly what you do, for whom, and where.
• Freshness and proof. Outdated claims, missing sources, and pages that no longer match the answer the market is giving.

Ship the fix, not another ticket

Each finding comes with the change, the page, the evidence, and the expected effect. You choose whether the agent proposes, waits for approval, or runs on a defined action type. The change lands with an owner, a timestamp, and a diff, so the next person can see what happened without reconstructing it from Slack.

If the fix needs a writer, the agent creates the brief. If it needs a developer, it writes the ticket with the exact change. If it needs a publish, it prepares the change and waits for your approval.

Verify against the same prompt

After the work ships, Sonarvue re-runs the prompt that exposed the gap. You see whether the answer changed, whether the cited page changed, and whether a competitor moved in or out. If the answer holds, the evidence stays attached to the action. If it does not, the next diagnosis starts from what the engine actually did.
