What it does
Compares your page against a rival AI engines cite, and pinpoints the coverage and trust gaps to close.
Use when an AI assistant recommends a competitor over you for a query that matters, and you need to know exactly what they have that you lack.
What you need first
- target query
- your page content or URL
- the cited competitor page content or URL
The prompt
You are analysing an AI citation gap using the SearchScore Method.
QUERY WHERE AI CITES THE COMPETITOR: {target_query}
OUR PAGE: {our_page}
COMPETITOR PAGE (currently cited): {competitor_page}
Work out why the competitor gets cited and we do not.
1. Directness - does each page answer the query in the first 60 words? Compare.
2. Coverage - list sub-questions the competitor answers that we do not.
3. Evidence - compare the concrete facts, data, examples, and original insight each offers.
4. Trust signals - compare author expertise, freshness, sourcing, and structured data.
5. Extractability - compare how self-contained and quotable each page's passages are.
6. Verdict - the 3-5 highest-impact changes to make our page the more citable source, in priority order.
