How do I track issues and use the Progress list?

Updated 2 min read

On this page

Press Track Issue on any finding in SEO Results to add it to your to-do list. The list lives on the Progress page, which you open with View Progress at the foot of Audit, Site Health, or by clicking the Fixed figure at the top of Site Health. There you tick issues off as you fix them, re-check a page, and watch your progress score, streak and milestones grow.

Track an issue

  • On SEO Results, each finding has Track Issue. Once added it reads Tracked; press it again to take it off your list.
  • The Full Audit and Page History on Site Audit, the crawler access and spam policy checks on Site Health, the Dashboard's keyword and top-page cards and the Academy can also add steps to the same list.

Use Tracked and Untracked on SEO Results to see what is on your list. See filter and search scan results.

The Progress page

At the top:

  • UtilitySEO Score, out of 1,000, with a Grade and your activity streak in days. The Score Breakdown shows where the points come from: your latest page check score (up to 400), the share of tracked issues you have resolved (up to 250), scanning regularly, up to 20 scans a month (up to 100), your latest site scan's score (up to 150) and Core Web Vitals passing (up to 100). This is separate from your health score.
  • Tracking: issues on your list not yet fixed. Resolved: ones you have fixed. Resolution Rate: the share resolved.
  • Quick Wins: up to 6 open issues with the most impact for the least effort, the first marked Top pick.
  • Milestones: badges such as First Fix, Issue Crusher (10 resolved) and a 7-day streak. Show all includes the ones still locked.

Work through your list

Under Tracked Issues, tick an issue to mark it fixed, and your score updates straight away. Each issue has:

  • View details: how to fix it, the effort and impact, and the affected pages with how many are fixed. Mark all fixed ticks every page.
  • Mark fixed or Mark open, Dismiss (and Restore) for ones you have decided not to do, and Remove.
  • For an issue on one page, Re-check this page fetches the page again to confirm the fix. See mark issues fixed and re-check them.

Clear tracked, Clear resolved and Clear all empty the list; each asks first, and your score, grade, streak and milestones are kept.

Export

The export button downloads your progress report, with your score, resolution rate, fix rates by priority, average time to fix, milestones and every tracked issue, as a CSV file or a PDF. See export to CSV.
