How do I learn from which AI fixes worked?
Keep a simple log for every fix: the baseline before, the change you made and when, the result after a fixed period and what to repeat or drop. Because answers vary from run to run, compare repeated runs and several prompts before you call a fix a success.
Free to read, no signup. Nova logs each fix against its before and after.
What affects how you read results
No engine documents how quickly a change shows up. Google notes that meeting its requirements does not guarantee results.
Results are not guaranteed
Google says meeting its requirements does not guarantee crawling, indexing or serving, so one change may not show an effect in every engine.
AI features and your websiteFive steps to do it yourself
Do it by hand with these steps, or hand the whole thing to Nova.
Record the baseline
Before you change anything, record the prompts affected and their current results.
Nova: records the baseline automatically.
Log the change
Note what you changed, where and when, in one line.
Nova: logs each approved action.
Wait a fixed period
Choose a window, such as 30 days, and run the same prompts again.
Nova: re-runs at your chosen window.
Compare and judge
Compare result with baseline across repeated runs and several prompts.
Nova: compares before and after.
Decide what to repeat
