Troubleshooting
Frequently Asked Questions
Does Marketing SEO Change My Pages?
No. It analyses and recommends. Changes to a page go through Marketing Content or Marketing Web, with their own approval steps.
What Does the On-Page Score Measure?
Eleven components add up to a score from 0 to 100: the keyword in the title, in the first 100 words and in the headers; header structure; word count against the target; meta description quality; external authority links; filler phrases; and a reading of readability, expertise and audience fit. The verdict is ship at 80 or above, revise from your floor up to 79, and blocker below the floor. The floor is the Minimum On-Page Audit Score setting and is 60 as shipped. The breakdown on each result is the current list of components.
What Do GEO, AEO and E-E-A-T Mean?
GEO measures how well the brand's mentions show the traits generative engines favor. AEO measures how often the brand appears in a direct answer. E-E-A-T measures the experience, expertise, authority and trust signals around a mention. The check also rates each mention strong, medium, weak or absent.
How Often Does It Check Visibility?
Weekly by default, on Monday morning. The AEO/GEO Check Cadence setting in the Operator Console can change it to monthly or manual.
Why Does the Digest or Weekly Post Not Show Up?
Scheduled posts need a Slack channel connected for Marketing SEO. Without one the checks still run and the results are in the Visibility workspace in the app.
Does a Volume Estimate Come from Real Data?
When your keyword data connection is available, yes. When it is not, the research is marked degraded and the numbers are estimates. See DataForSEO.
Can I Audit a Page That Is Not Published Yet?
Yes, in the app: on the Audits view choose New Analysis and paste the text. The Slack command takes a web address only.
Common Issues
A Slash Command Returned an Error
- Read the private message under the command. It names the reason, such as a missing topic or address.
- Check the usage: a topic after /seo-research, a full address after /seo-audit-url, and nothing or a list separated by vertical bars after /seo-aeo-check.
- Try again. If it fails twice, contact support@agenteous.com.
The Audit Could Not Fetch My Page
- Confirm the address opens in a browser without signing in.
- If the page is behind a login or still in draft, paste the text in the app instead.
- Try again; some sites block automated visits.
The Visibility Check Says the Brand Is Absent Everywhere
- Check that the brand is set up with its positioning and content pillars, since the questions come from them.
- Run it again with your own questions, using the vertical bar between them.
- Compare with the weekly results in the Visibility workspace before drawing conclusions from one run.
I Never See Prompt Suggestions
- Confirm a channel is connected for Marketing SEO.
- Run /seo-suggest-prompts to get a card on demand.
- If the card is empty, the suggester found nothing new to propose.
A Competitor Post Never Appears
Only changes rated high or critical are posted, and only for pages on your competitor watchlist. Quiet weeks are silent.
