Implementation Verification Engine (IVE)

The Implementation Verification Engine automatically checks whether recommended fixes have been correctly implemented on your live website.

What It Is

After your team implements SEO fixes, IVE:

1. Re-fetches the affected URLs from your live site
2. Runs specific checks for each fix type
3. Reports pass/fail status with details
4. Tracks verification history over time

Why Verification Matters

• Catch incomplete fixes before they affect rankings
• Confirm deployments worked as expected
• Track fix rate as a team performance metric
• Close the loop between recommendation and implementation

Verification Types

Check Type	What's Verified
Meta Tags	Title, description present and correct length
Schema Markup	JSON-LD is valid and contains required fields
Heading Structure	H1 present, hierarchy correct
Answer Blocks	Content formatted for AI extraction
FAQ Sections	Questions/answers properly structured
Canonical URLs	Self-referencing or correct target
Hreflang	Tags present with correct codes
Indexability	No blocking robots meta
Redirects	Correct status codes and targets

2. Enable verification schedule
3. Choose frequency (daily recommended for active fixes)
4. System automatically verifies open issues

Best Practices

1. Verify before closing: Don't mark issues as fixed until verified
2. Check immediately after deploy: Run verification right after releases
3. Monitor pass rate: Aim for 90%+ verification pass rate
4. Re-verify periodically: Settings can regress with deployments

FAQ

Q: How soon after deploying should I verify?

A: Wait for CDN cache to clear (typically 5-15 minutes), then verify.

Q: What if a fix passes verification but rankings don't improve?

A: Verification confirms implementation, not impact. Rankings may take weeks to respond.

Q: Can I verify pages not in my project?

A: No. Verification only works for URLs within your configured domain.
