Fix with AI

SPIOUN finds the problems; the fixes happen on your site. Fix with AI writes the instructions once, for the way your site is built and the AI you use. SPIOUN itself never changes your site.

Two questions, once per site

Where is this site built? Code repository (Git) · WordPress · Wix · Squarespace · Shopify · Webflow · Other / not sure.

Which AI do you use? Claude Code · Cursor · GitHub Copilot · OpenAI Codex · Windsurf · Claude (chat) · ChatGPT · Gemini · Other · None — I'll do it myself.

SPIOUN asks the first time you open Fix with AI for a site and keeps the answers in Settings → Your sites.

What you get

Code repository + coding agent
An engineering brief: the issues grouped with the pages concerned, rules (fix only what is listed, prefer fixing the template, never rewrite visible text), and how to deliver. Two modes: Prepare the fixes for me to review (a branch, a commit, nothing published) or Fix and publish (commit, publish, verify from outside).
Code repository + chat AI
A request the AI can answer without opening your files: for each issue group, which file or template is probably responsible, what it likely contains now, what it should contain, and how to check. You apply the changes or hand them to a coding tool.
Site builder, no AI
A guide you follow yourself: for each kind of issue, what it means, why it matters, what to do, and the steps in your platform, with the pages listed.
Site builder + chat AI
The same guide, written as a request so the AI walks you through it one issue at a time.
Other / not sure
The generic guide, plus how to find out what your site is built with.

Every brief ends with the issues you chose to ignore, marked "leave these alone". Ask AI on one row does the same for a single issue and the pages that share it.

Sending it

Copy and Save work on both platforms (Share on the iPad). Copy & open Claude and Copy & open ChatGPT put the brief on your clipboard and open the official app when it is installed and genuine, otherwise the website in your browser; then you paste.

The steps, per platform

For WordPress, Wix, Squarespace, Shopify, Webflow the guide carries the steps below, written from each platform's own help pages. Menu names change often; where a step could not be confirmed recently, the guide says so and tells you what to search for.

Let search engines index the page (remove noindex)

In general:

  1. Open the page's SEO or visibility settings.

Set the canonical address

In general:

  1. Most site builders set the canonical automatically to the page's own address.
  2. If yours has a canonical or URL field in the page's SEO settings, make sure it is the clean address of this page.

Make sure the site opens on one address only (with or without www), redirecting the other.

  1. Open the page → Yoast SEO box → Advanced → Canonical URL.
  2. Leave it empty for the page's own address, or enter the main address if this page is a copy.

These steps are Yoast's; other SEO plugins have an equivalent field.

Menu names change often. If you can't find this, search the platform's help for "Set the canonical address".

Fix robots.txt

In general:

  2. If a plugin or your host added a custom robots.txt, edit it there.
Wix

Fix the main heading

In general:

  1. Make sure the page has one visible main heading at the top that says what the page is about.
  2. In most builders the page title field is the H1; use Heading 2 for the other headings.

Set the page language

In general:

  1. Set the site language in your site's general or language settings.
  2. Multilingual sites: set the language per page or per language version.

Fix structured data

In general:

  1. Test the page with Google's Rich Results Test (search.google.com/test/rich-results).
  2. Fix the fields it lists, in the plugin, app or snippet that produces the data.
  3. If you do not need rich results, you can remove the block.

Add a social sharing image

Make the page faster

In general:

  1. Enable caching if your hosting or builder offers it.
  2. Reduce image sizes; use the builder's image optimisation.
  3. Remove plugins or apps you do not use.

Fix a server problem

In general:

  1. Open the page in a private browser window.
  2. If it fails, contact your hosting or site builder support with the address and the error.
  3. When it loads again, ask Google to re-inspect (Indexing → Inspect one URL).

Open the page to the public

In general:

  1. Remove any password, login or IP restriction on the page if it should be public.
  2. Check security plugins and firewall rules that may block Google.

Nothing to fix yet

In general:

  1. Make sure the page is in the sitemap and linked from other pages.
  2. Wait. Google visits small sites every few days to weeks.
