A recheck compares the answers before your fix with the answers after it. That only says something if the answers after it could have seen the change.
Rechecks wait for the change
- Is it live? For a heading fix, or a listing on a page that gatekeeps the answer, Shruwd first checks the change is there, on your page or on the listed page. If it isn't yet, the recheck waits a week and spends nothing. If it still isn't four weeks past the usual wait, the finding comes back to you without a verdict.
- Has Google read it? With Search Console connected, a fix to a page of your site also waits until Google's last crawl of it comes after your fix, for up to four weeks past the usual wait. The finding says when Google last crawled it. If Google still hasn't re-read the page by then, the recheck runs and the verdict says so. Without Search Console, the verdict says the re-read couldn't be checked.
- Listings get longer. A listing on someone else's page is rechecked after 30 days, not 14: it takes longer to reach the answers.
Judged on what the fix can move
- A video finding is rechecked on the engines that showed the video, and judged on answers citing a video on your channel.
- A wrong-page finding is judged on which of your pages the answers cite. You're already named there, so your mention rate can't show the change.
When no answer reads your site yet
When none of the answers to your questions cites your site, page findings now say so first, show where your page stands in Google's results for the question, and list the pages the answers do read. Getting onto those reaches the answers now; a page edit may not yet.
