Recommendations

Stop guessing which AI search fix matters most

Foglift turns AI Visibility Checks, search demand, cited pages, Technical Audits, crawler evidence, and sentiment into one ranked action list. Open the next move, see why it rose to the top, and know which later result will prove the work paid off.

Evidence before advice

Bring every signal into one clear priority

Stop reconciling separate dashboards before every planning meeting. Each recommendation can combine four evidence groups while preserving the observation date and source behind every fact.

Evidence groupWhat it observesWhat it changes
AI answer evidenceBrand mentions, answer position, competitors, citations, engines, and prompt historyVisibility gaps, competitor displacement, citation targets, and later mention-rate checks
Measured demandSearch Console impressions, prompt opportunities, and related-question fan-outsDemand input, buyer-intent context, and the questions carried into a page plan
Technical AuditPage inventory, technical findings, sitemap coverage, internal links, and crawler policyFeasibility, affected-page footprint, page selection, and audit-based verification
Audience signalsSentiment themes, AI referral activity, and connected measurement statusSentiment actions, source-connection actions, and evidence limits

Deterministic ranking

Put the highest-impact work at the top

Give your team a stable order it can inspect and repeat. The ranking and plan-selection contract uses no runtime language-model call. Six explicit inputs determine the score, and a logarithmic display scale keeps one large number from hiding every other useful action.

Ranking contract

Score = intent × current loss × demand × attainability × feasibility × page footprint

Ties resolve by demand, related-question count, competitor pressure, page footprint, then a stable ID.

  1. 01

    Intent

    How closely the finding maps to a buyer decision or an executable access problem.

  2. 02

    Current loss

    The measured gap between the desired outcome and the brand's present mention rate.

  3. 03

    Demand

    Observed impressions or prompt volume when available, with an explicit proxy label when it is not.

  4. 04

    Attainability

    How realistic the cited-source opportunity is, based on the available authority evidence.

  5. 05

    Feasibility

    Whether the system has a direct connection, an audit-derived fix, or a verified page inventory to act on.

  6. 06

    Page footprint

    How many pages share the finding, scaled so one large template problem does not overwhelm every other action.

Illustrative recommendations list ranked by impact with category, owner, next action, page decision, evidence, and success check
Illustrative workspace and sample data. The shipped action view sorts recommendations by impact and keeps the page decision, first step, evidence, owner, and success check with the work.

One page decision

Improve the page you already have

Keep a measured gap from turning into another overlapping article. Foglift checks the verified sitemap and Technical Audit inventory, then routes the work to an existing page whenever the match is strong enough.

A matching page exists

Strengthen

The plan names one verified URL, opens with that page as the first step, and carries the measured prompt plus related questions into the update.

No page clears the match

Create

The plan recommends one new page for the exact measured question. It preserves related fan-out questions as scope instead of producing a generic topic idea.

What can become an action

Turn every gap into an owned action

Visibility and competitor actions

Find prompts with measured demand, low mention rate, or competitor displacement. Attach the prompt standing, cited winning pages, and related questions.

Page and site actions

Surface high-centrality uncited pages, important thin or orphan pages, repeated technical defects, and site-architecture gaps with the affected URLs attached.

Crawler and source actions

Separate restricted crawler access from missing measurement connections. A direct connection can outrank speculative content work when it improves several current actions.

Sentiment actions

Create an action only when a negative theme has repeated observed occurrences, then preserve the supporting quotes and engines as evidence.

Visible decision record

See exactly why an action was chosen

Hand work to a writer, marketer, or engineer without losing the reasoning behind it. The detail view keeps the diagnosis, page decision, first step, effort, evidence, and success check together.

  1. The ask

    One direct action with a human-readable title and current status.

  2. Why it matters

    Demand, current standing, and the stakes tied to the observed evidence.

  3. Intent

    The buyer or technical job the action is meant to address.

  4. Evidence

    Source-labeled blocks with observation dates, facts, and provenance.

  5. Commitment

    Effort, scope, first step, and the measurement that can mark the work done.

  6. Limits

    Run counts, engines, parse freshness, and the boundary that engines make the final selection.

Proof after the work

Prove the work moved the result

Close an action with later evidence instead of a checked box. Only observations collected after an action was generated can verify it, using the success rule attached to that recommendation.

Example verification contract

Prompt action
At least 34% mention rate across three or more new runs
Page action
A later answer cites the named page
Technical action
The next Technical Audit clears the named finding on the affected pages
Stalled action
The action is flagged as not moving when the later evidence is conclusive and the predicate still fails

Plans and evidence breadth

Start with the evidence your plan already collects

Recommendations are available on every plan. Higher monitoring cadence, more engines and brands, and connected surfaces add evidence to the same deterministic action framework.

Questions

Choose your next move with confidence

What are AI search recommendations?

AI search recommendations turn observed visibility, demand, citation, page, crawler, and sentiment evidence into a ranked action list. Each action states what to do, why it matters, which evidence supports it, and how later measurements will verify progress.

How are recommendations ranked?

Each recommendation receives a deterministic score from six inputs: intent, current loss, demand, attainability, feasibility, and affected-page footprint. The product then breaks ties by demand, related-question count, competitor pressure, page footprint, and a stable identifier.

Does ranking recommendations use a language model?

No. The current ranking and plan-selection contract is deterministic and uses no runtime language-model call. The same evidence produces the same ranked plan, and the reason graph preserves the facts and rules behind the decision.

How does the product decide whether to create or strengthen a page?

The planner checks the verified sitemap and Technical Audit inventory for a page that already matches the measured topic. It selects one existing page to strengthen when the match clears the contract threshold. Otherwise it recommends a new page and carries related buyer questions into the plan.

How are completed actions verified?

Verification uses evidence collected after the recommendation was generated. Depending on the action, the product checks later mention rate, a newly observed citation, a cleared Technical Audit finding, allowed crawler access, improved sentiment, or a connected data source.

Which plans include recommendations?

Recommendations are available on every plan. Its evidence breadth follows the plan and connected sources: Free includes active-use weekly Perplexity monitoring and unlimited single-page Technical Audits, while Launch starts at $49 per month and adds daily monitoring across five engines, full-site Technical Audits, plus API, CLI, and MCP access.
