AI content optimization: turn visibility gaps into ranked content plays.

AI content optimization is the practice of closing the gap between where you're invisible and where you should be cited. Mentionova detects every visibility gap nightly, scores it 0–100, and generates a ready-to-ship content brief, so your team earns more citations across ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Google AI and beyond. See how your site compares right now with AI visibility tracking.

How plays are scored

Every gap, scored out of 100.

Each gap gets a score from 0 to 100, recomputed nightly from four parts: visibility gap is worth up to 40, reach 25, effort 20 and competitive heat 15. A cell shows how much of its part a play earned, so the brighter the row, the higher it ranks. Effort scores high when the fix is small.

AI Content Optimization · FAQ

Questions, answered.

In three connected steps. Mentionova detects every prompt where you're losing citations or missing topics, scores each gap 0–100 by impact and winnability, then generates a complete content brief your team can ship, turning a blind spot into a ranked play overnight.

Every opportunity arrives pre-drafted: the angle that fits the engine's citation pattern, the data points and sources currently trusted for that prompt, and an AI-generated article seed, so your writer starts with a plan, not a blank page. Track results on the share-of-voice dashboard after you ship.

A visibility gap is any prompt where an AI engine cites a competitor instead of you, or where buyers ask a question your content doesn't cover. Mentionova detects both types nightly and flags them in a ranked queue so your team knows exactly where you're losing ground.

A 0-to-1 composite that Mentionova recomputes nightly, weighing how much visibility a gap is costing you against how winnable it looks. Higher scores rise to the top of the queue so your team works the plays that move the most.

Four: create content for a topic you don't cover, optimize a page you already have, add internal links to a page the engines can't reach, or add a prompt you should be tracking. Each opportunity is tagged with its type.

The prompt re-runs on its schedule after you ship, and the citations and share of voice it earns move in the same dashboard, so you can tie a published page to the answer it changed.

ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, Gemini, Google AI Overviews and Reddit, the six engines that power most AI-generated answers today. Each engine is tracked separately so you can see exactly where you're cited and where a rival is taking your position.
