AI Task Board
The agent automatically creates and manages a prioritized SEO task board from its analysis findings.
What Is the Task Board
The AI Task Board is a persistent, prioritized list of SEO actions generated entirely by the agent. When the agent analyzes your site — whether auditing GSC data, crawling pages, or researching competitors — every actionable finding becomes a task on your board. You never create tasks manually.
Think of it as an AI-generated SEO roadmap that updates itself. Recommendations no longer vanish in chat history — they persist as trackable items you can act on over time.
The task board is read-only in the UI. To change task status, priority, or details, talk to the agent in chat. You can delete tasks directly from the board.
How Tasks Get Created
The agent creates tasks automatically during any analysis. You do not need to ask for tasks explicitly — they are a natural output of the agent's workflow. For example:
- Ask “audit my site” and the agent creates tasks for every issue it finds
- Ask “what keywords am I losing?” and declining keywords become recovery tasks
- Ask “find content gaps” and missing topics become content creation tasks
- Ask “check my internal links” and orphan pages become linking tasks
Before creating new tasks, the agent always checks the existing board to avoid duplicates. If a finding overlaps with an existing task, it updates the existing one instead.
Task Categories
| Category | What it covers |
|---|---|
| Content | Content gaps, thin pages, new articles to write, pages to refresh or expand |
| Technical | Missing meta tags, crawl issues, page speed, structured data problems |
| Linking | Orphan pages, internal link opportunities, broken links, anchor text improvements |
| Performance | Declining rankings, low CTR opportunities, high-impression/low-click keywords |
Task Lifecycle
Every task moves through three stages:
- To Do — the agent identified the issue and created the task
- In Progress — you or the agent are actively working on it (e.g., writing the article)
- Done — the fix is complete, content is published, or the issue is resolved
Tasks are sorted by priority (high, medium, low) within each status group. The agent assigns priority based on estimated SEO impact — a page dropping from position 3 to 12 gets higher priority than a minor meta description tweak.
Verification: How a Task Proves Itself
A task isn't just a to-do — when its outcome is measurable in Search Console, it carries a prediction that gets checked weeks later. This is what separates the board from a glorified checklist: every measurable fix commits to an expected impact before it ships, then gets re-measured against real GSC data to confirm whether it actually worked.
When the agent files a measurable finding, it sets these fields up front:
| Field | What it captures |
|---|---|
| expected_impact | The prediction in plain language — what this fix should change and why |
| verify_metric | The GSC metric that would prove it — one of clicks, impressions, ctr, or position |
| verify_target | The target value the metric should reach for the prediction to hold |
When the fix is implemented and the task is marked done, two more fields are recorded:
- pr_url — the pull request that shipped the fix, so the change traces back to code
- implementation_note — what was actually changed
Marking a measurable task done doesn't end it — it queues GSC verification. The task's verification_status flips from none to pending, and verify_after is set to roughly 21 days out: long enough for Search Console to register the real effect rather than noise.
Once that window closes, the Monday monitor pulls the relevant GSC data and settles the verdict, writing back:
| Field | What the monitor records |
|---|---|
| verification_status | confirmed (predicted movement happened), regressed (moved the wrong way), or inconclusive (no clear signal) |
| verified_at | When the re-measurement actually ran |
| verification_note | The evidence — the GSC numbers behind the verdict |
Not every task is measurable, and that's fine. Tasks without a clear GSC signal are tracked normally with no verification target. The verification machinery only fires when verify_metric and verify_target are set — so a claim is only ever made when it can actually be checked. See Outcome Verification and Evals for the full lifecycle and why it beats run-and-hope reporting.
Using the Task Board
Navigate to your project's Tasks page to see the full board. You can filter by category and see stats for open, in-progress, and completed tasks at a glance.
Discuss a Task in Chat
Every task has a “Discuss” button that takes you to chat with the task title pre-filled. This lets you ask the agent to elaborate on the finding, start working on a fix, or write content for that specific task.
The Reevaluation Loop
Out of the box, the agent analyzes your data, builds your task board, and writes content. But because it manages its own task board, it can do something no other tool does — come back.
For onboarded clients, the agent runs this loop continuously on its own. On Sunday, it re-crawls your site for fresh content data. On Monday, it analyzes GSC changes against your open tasks, resolves what's fixed, flags what's declining, creates new tasks for what needs attention, and emails you a natural-language summary. No reminders, no manual rechecks — the agent sets its own follow-up. As search shifts toward zero-click and AI answers, this is the part a static tool can't do: the agent keeps adapting your SEO without you operating it.
Your free SEO report includes a fully populated task board built from your real GSC data, and you can ask the agent to reevaluate it in chat anytime. The continuous, self-scheduling loop is what the agent does once it's running your SEO end to end.
