step 3 of 4 · Diagnosis

Find out why AI skips you.

A heatmap tells you where you’re absent. Diagnosis tells you why. We cluster the prompts you lose by root cause, identify the sources AI cites instead, and rank the off-site surfaces feeding the answers in your category. Each gap comes with a reason — not a guess.

Root-cause clusters

Absent prompts get grouped by why — missing comparison page, weak authority, no schema, off-site silence. You stop fixing the symptom and start fixing the cause.

Source-of-truth ranking

We classify the URLs that AI engines actually cite for your prompt set: editorial reviews, Reddit threads, YouTube channels, Q&A archives, brand sites. You see which surfaces drive answers.

Competitor citation map

When a competitor takes your spot, we show what got them cited — which page, which thread, which forum. The pattern is repeatable; the gap closes faster.

Authority benchmarking

DR-equivalent metrics on your domain vs the cited competitors, plus link-prospect specifics for the diagnoses where authority is the bottleneck.
