Insights are AI-generated observations and recommendations based on your search tracking data. They help you understand what is happening with your AI search visibility and what you can do about it.

How Insights are Generated

Data Analysis

DevTune analyzes data from your search tracking tests:
  • Presence rate and visibility trends across platforms
  • Citation frequency and source distribution
  • Brand mention patterns
  • Competitor visibility and share of voice

Pattern Recognition

AI identifies patterns including:
  • Significant changes in visibility
  • Platform-specific gaps
  • Competitive shifts
  • Content coverage gaps

Recommendation Generation

Based on analysis, insights are created with:
  • A clear title describing the observation
  • Supporting evidence from your tracking data
  • Severity level indicating urgency
  • Enrichment and opportunity scores

Insight Kinds

DevTune generates six types of insights:

Content Gap

Example: “Your product is not appearing for ‘getting started’ queries on Perplexity” Content gap insights identify topics or prompts where your content is missing or insufficient. The typical action is to create or improve content for the identified area.

Visibility Gap

Example: “Visibility on Google AI Mode is 40% lower than ChatGPT Search for API documentation topics” Visibility gap insights highlight platforms or areas where your visibility is significantly lower than elsewhere. The typical action is to investigate platform-specific factors and optimize accordingly.

Competitive Improvement

Example: “Competitor X has weaker presence for ‘migration from legacy tools’ prompts” Competitive improvement insights identify areas where competitors are vulnerable and you have an opportunity to gain share of voice. The typical action is to create targeted content for these areas.

Untapped Opportunity

Example: “High-intent prompts about ‘real-time data processing SDK’ have low competition from all tracked brands” Untapped opportunity insights surface areas where no competitor has strong visibility, representing potential first-mover advantages. The typical action is to create content to establish presence before competitors.

Defend Position

Example: “Your strong position for ‘authentication SDK comparison’ prompts is being challenged by Competitor Y” Defend position insights alert you when competitors are gaining ground in areas where you currently lead. The typical action is to refresh and strengthen your content in these areas.

Competitive Weakness

Example: “Competitor Z has no documentation coverage for advanced configuration topics” Competitive weakness insights highlight specific vulnerabilities in competitor content that you can exploit to gain visibility share.

Insight Properties

Severity Levels

Insights are assigned a severity level:
SeverityMeaning
CriticalRequires immediate attention; significant visibility risk
HighImportant, address soon for meaningful impact
MediumValuable but not time-sensitive
LowConsider when resources allow

Enrichment Score

The enrichment score indicates how much supporting data is available for the insight. Higher scores mean the insight is backed by more data points and is likely more reliable.

Opportunity Score

The opportunity score estimates the potential impact of acting on the insight. Higher scores suggest greater potential visibility improvement.

Working with Insights

Regular Review

Check insights regularly:
  • Daily quick scan for critical and high-severity insights
  • Weekly deeper review of all new insights
  • Note patterns across multiple insights

Evaluating Insights

For each insight, consider:
  • Is this relevant to your current priorities?
  • Is the recommendation actionable with your available resources?
  • What is the potential impact (check the opportunity score)?
  • Are there related insights that point to the same underlying issue?

Converting to Actions

When an insight is valuable:
  1. Click the insight to view details
  2. Review the suggested action if one is provided
  3. Accept the suggested action or create a custom action
  4. Set priority and channel assignment
  5. Track progress in the Actions Hub

Dismissing Insights

If an insight is not relevant:
  • Mark it as dismissed
  • Dismissed insights will not resurface

Making the Most of Insights

Look for Patterns

Multiple insights may point to:
  • Common root causes (e.g., outdated documentation)
  • Strategic themes (e.g., a competitor making a broad push)
  • Systemic issues (e.g., a platform where you have consistently low visibility)

Combine with Analytics

Use insights alongside the Analytics and Heatmap views:
  • Insights tell you what to focus on
  • Analytics show you the detailed data
  • Together they inform your content strategy

Track Impact

After acting on insights:
  • Monitor the relevant metrics in Analytics
  • Check whether visibility improved for the targeted prompts
  • Use the results to calibrate your response to future insights
