Fix Engine

The short answer

The Fix Engine is the step most tools skip: it turns each gap the audit finds into a specific, shippable change. Instead of a score that tells you that you are losing, it hands you the artifact — the answer block to publish, the schema to add, the comparison page to build, or the off-site source to pursue — scoped to the exact prompt you are missing.

Step by step
  1. Open a gap from your audit

    Every missed prompt in the audit carries a classified cause: crawler access, extraction, entity clarity, source coverage, or comparison coverage. Open the gap to see the evidence behind the classification.

  2. Generate the fix package

    The Fix Engine turns the gap into a concrete artifact: an answer block, FAQ schema, crawler-policy change, content brief, or off-site source plan - grounded in pages that actually exist on your site.

  3. Copy, paste, ship

    Packages are copy-paste ready. Drop the answer block into the target page, add the schema to the head, publish, and request indexing. No agency translation layer in between.

  4. Mark it shipped and start the clock

    One click marks the fix shipped and offers to track the exact prompt it addresses. From that moment, every re-test is attributable to a dated change - which is what makes proof possible.

From gap to artifact

A gap on its own is just a problem statement. The Fix Engine converts it into a concrete change a person can ship: it specifies what to publish, where, and in what form, so the work is unambiguous. That is the difference between knowing you are invisible and having the means to become visible.

The kinds of fixes it generates

Most fixes assemble from a familiar set of plays:

  • Answer blocks — a concise, extractable answer for the right page.
  • Structured data — FAQPage, Article, and Breadcrumb markup.
  • Page builds — comparison, alternative, and category pages.
  • Crawl and rendering fixes — so engines can read the page.
  • Source plays — earn mentions on the third-party pages engines trust.

Competitive and source-aware

Fixes are informed by who is winning and why. Because the Fix Engine sees the competitor leaderboard and the source mix for each prompt, it can recommend on-site work when your own page is the gap and off-site source plays when the engine trusts third parties — rather than generic advice that ignores where citations actually come from.

Built to be proven

Every fix is scoped to a specific prompt so it can be verified. After you ship, the Proof Loop re-tests that exact prompt and records the observed movement. A fix is not considered done at publish; it is done when the re-test shows what happened.

Frequently asked questions

Does the Fix Engine write the content for me?

It specifies the fix — the answer block, schema, page structure, or source play to ship — scoped to the prompt, so your team can execute it precisely.

Are fixes on-site or off-site?

Both. On-site fixes are fast and in your control; off-site source plays take longer but are often decisive when engines trust third parties for your category.

Will a fix guarantee a citation?

No. A fix improves your odds and is verified by re-testing; AI answers are non-deterministic and no change guarantees a citation.
