As it repairs it does place certain bits in the right place which  
makes it easier for the computer to find the right file, similar to  
defragging, verifying is even closer to defrag as it checks that  
bits, as you put it, are in the right place. There are other ways of  
cleaning up your drive, but those require backing up all data &  
basically reformatting the drive.
