Citation gap audit

Two failures look identical from the outside. The assistant never had your page in front of it — or it read your page and quoted someone else. They need opposite fixes. This tells you which one you have, against the five queries we measured page by page.

Two failures, not one

ANever in the pool — the engine did not return your page for that query, so nothing written on the page could have helped. fix upstream
BIn the pool, not cited — the engine had your page, read it, and picked a different one. This is the only gap page-level work can move. fix on the page

A tool that only reports a visibility score collapses both into one number, and one number cannot tell you which of two opposite jobs to do. That is why we do not sell a score.

What this audit cannot tell you

read before you trust the output
1Five queries, one date, one model. Measured on the date on the methodology page, with the model and settings recorded there. A different model returns a different pool, and a page that was absent here can be present there.
2Absent from a pool is not the same as invisible. It means the engine did not return your page for that one query on that one day — not that no assistant anywhere can find you.
3The pool is what the engine returned, not the whole web. It is the candidate set the assistant was allowed to read from, which is exactly why membership matters more than people assume.

Questions about the audit

What is a citation gap?

It is the distance between your page existing and your page being quoted. That distance has two very different causes. Either the assistant's retrieval step never returned your page, so nothing on the page could have mattered, or it did return your page, read it, and quoted a different one. The first is fixed before the page, the second is fixed on the page.

Why only five queries?

Because five is what we actually ran, repeatedly, and published. We measured 48 sources across five queries with five to six usable runs each, and every number on this site comes from that set. We could print a longer list of queries we did not measure, but then the audit would be inventing results instead of reporting them.

Can I audit a query you did not measure?

Not from this page, and we would rather say so than fake it. The eight-check readability tool works on any page you paste in, because those checks read the page itself. Pool membership needs a live retrieval run, which costs money per run, which is why it is a paid subscription rather than a free tool.

Does a gap mean I have to pay you?

No. The audit names the gap and the eight checks tell you what to change, both free and unlimited. Payment starts only if you want the files written for you, and the price and scope are on the pricing page before you click anything.

The gap named is the free part. Closing it is the work.

Run the eight checks on your own page first — it is the same eight, in the same order, and it costs nothing.
