Diagnose
Query-specific gap analysis - understand exactly why you are or are not appearing for a question.
- Run a deep gap analysis on any specific query
- See how your brand compares to competitors on that exact question
- Get an AI-generated hypothesis explaining your visibility gaps
- Take action directly from diagnosis results
Your dashboard shows overall visibility. Diagnose zooms in on a single question and tells you exactly what is happening.
Enter any query - "best CRM for small business," "how to improve customer retention," "Nike vs Adidas running shoes" - and Diagnose runs it across every AI model, analyzes the competitive landscape, and explains why you are appearing (or not) in the responses.
Running a diagnosis
- 1Navigate to Diagnose in the sidebar
- 2Enter or paste a query in the search box
- 3Optionally select a location or region
- 4Click Run Diagnosis
The system queries every AI model in parallel, analyzes the responses, compares your brand against competitors, and generates a comprehensive report. This typically takes 30-60 seconds.
Progress tracking
While running, you will see model-by-model progress:
- Each model shows its analysis status
- Results preview as they come in
- A progress indicator for the overall analysis
Understanding results
When the diagnosis completes, you see three main sections:
Hero metrics
The big numbers at the top:
- Visibility gap score - How much opportunity exists on this specific query (higher means more room to improve)
- Opportunity count - How many specific improvement opportunities were found
- Competitor count - How many competitors appear in responses to this query
Competitive landscape
A visual chart showing where you stand relative to competitors on this exact query. You can see:
- Which brands appear in each model response
- How prominently each brand is mentioned
- Where you rank in the overall competitive picture
The hypothesis
This is the most valuable part. Diagnose generates an AI-written explanation of why you are appearing or not appearing:
- What content competitors have that you do not
- Which citation sources are influencing the responses
- What specific steps would improve your position
- How different models treat this query differently
Taking action from results
Diagnose does not just tell you what is wrong - it gives you tools to fix it:
- Create content - Generate an article targeting this specific query gap
- Add to tracking - Start monitoring this query as a prompt in your ongoing research
- Draft outreach - Begin outreach to citation sources that could improve your position
- Share results - Export the diagnosis for stakeholders
When to use Diagnose
Before creating content - Check if there is actually a gap worth addressing. No point writing a guide for a query where you already appear prominently.
After competitor research - Someone told you a competitor is beating you on a specific topic. Verify it and understand why.
For stakeholder questions - Your CMO asks "Why do we not show up when people ask about X?" Run a diagnosis and forward the results.
For query-level strategy - Your dashboard shows overall trends. Diagnose shows query-level reality. Use both.
Recent diagnoses
Your past diagnoses are saved and accessible from the Diagnose page. Each shows:
