Search Change Proof — On-Page SEO QA

Illustrative report format only; no real site was changed or inspected.

Ticket: canonical correction for the fictional /pricing page. Desired postcondition: the rendered canonical link points to https://example.test/pricing. The receipt would first record the current response URL and canonical value, then identify the source file or CMS entry and make only the authorized change. It would build or preview the page, inspect the rendered DOM, and cite the observed canonical value with a time and environment. If the preview still shows the old canonical, the local gate fails and the report stops.

Because this request explicitly excludes deployment, the deployed URL remains unobserved even if the local preview later passes. Google indexed status and selected canonical remain unobserved until an authorized indexed URL Inspection result is available. Search ranking and traffic remain unobserved pending dated measurements. The next check after an authorized release is to inspect the deployed response and rendered canonical independently, then compare the search engine's indexed view later. This example shows the evidence layers and wording; it is not a claim that a local build, deployment, or Search Console query was run.
