AI visibility fix recommendations, explained
AI visibility fix recommendations are the specific changes a brand can make so AI assistants mention, recommend or cite it when buyers ask for help. When someone asks ChatGPT for the best meeting notes app, the answer is built from pages, lists, reviews and forum threads the engine trusts. If your brand is missing from those sources, or your own site never answers the question, the engine names a competitor instead. A fix closes that gap: a missing comparison page, a pricing page AI can read, a place on a list AI quotes, a corrected fact.
A score or a long checklist is a good start. A useful recommendation needs three things: proof that the gap is real, a reason it exists, and a sense of how much fixing it will matter. Without proof you chase noise. Without ranking you start with the easy work instead of the work that changes answers.
Proofsource builds the list from your tracked buyer questions. Every question an engine answered without naming you becomes one problem, grouped into themes like Pages, Lists, Reviews and Posts. Each problem carries the stored answers, the competitors named instead, a one-line reason it matters, and an expected impact drawn from how fixes of that kind performed for other brands. You start one with a single button, or decline it with a reason and restore it later.
How it works
One ranked list of what to fix so AI answers name your brand, each fix backed by the real answers that show the gap.
We ask the questions buyers ask
Your tracked questions run on 10 AI engines such as ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Copilot, and every answer is stored with its sources.
Every lost answer becomes a problem
Any question where AI named a competitor and not you lands in Fix it, so nothing listed as lost is left without a fix.
Problems group into themes and goals
Cards sort into themes such as Pages, Lists and Reviews, and into four goals: get mentioned, get recommended, fix facts, be cited.
Fixes are ranked by what has worked
Each fix shows an expected impact of High, Medium or Low, based on how often fixes of the same kind moved answers for other brands.
Start, decline or focus
Start a fix with one button, decline it with a reason, or switch to focus mode and work one card at a time.

Every capability, live today
18 shipped capabilities behind AI visibility fix recommendations, each in the product now.
Fix it workspace
One place with one list of theme cards, such as Pages, Lists, Reviews and Posts, so every problem AI has with your brand sits in one view, ready to fix, hand off or decline, with suggested fixes to start.
Problem list with lists and declines
Lists problems to fix next to list placements and the problems you declined, so the full picture stays visible.
Full problems table
A full table view with filters, search and grouping by theme or state for teams that want every row at once.
Lost answers headline and board
The count of answers you lost and the competitors who won them, with your own row last. Every lost question is also a problem in Fix it, so no gap is left without a next step.
Goal lanes
Four goals with counts: get mentioned, get recommended, fix facts and be cited. Click a lane to filter and click again to clear.
Fix state and progress strips
A segmented bar of six states, Open, Working, Shipped, Proving, Proven and Declined, that doubles as the filter, with a stage strip from Found to Verified on every fix.
Fix card side panel
One card opens in a side panel with what to track, why it matters, the issue, the evidence, a hypothesis for why it happens and the stored AI answers behind it, each opening with its first two lines.
Why this matters line
One quantified sentence on each row, such as how many answers skipped you on that question, backed by a library of dated, sourced facts about AI search.
Expected impact and lift
Every fix is marked High, Medium or Low impact, with the lift expected from customers who shipped the same kind of fix.
Fix ranking and what works
Next fixes are ranked by how often fixes of that kind won for other brands, with anonymous cross-customer benchmarks kept current as more fixes are proven.
One-card focus mode
Work one fix at a time through Ready, Working, Shipped and Proven, with a Next fix card when you finish.
Clear empty state
When nothing needs fixing you see the facts, such as questions checked and how often you were named, instead of an empty table.
Decline and restore
Decline a problem with a reason, such as not relevant, not our market or already handled, and restore it later. Declined problems are kept with their reason so the team sees what was set aside and why.
Fixes for your kind of brand
Playbook fixes and a fixes page for apps, places, creators and people join the list, each with its evidence and one action, not only fixes for websites.
Shopping fix column
Shopping results show why a product was left out and the fix to try.
First report after the first scan
A report builds on its own after your first scan, so the first ranked fixes arrive without setup.
Ranked opportunity feed
Get a ranked feed of opportunities you can read, update and act on.
Time-phased opportunity roadmap
Get a roadmap that orders your opportunities into phases, and generate a new one when things change.
Who it is for
Pick the next fix in a minute
Open Fix it, see which competitor took the most answers this week, and start the highest impact fix without a planning meeting.
Show clients a prioritized plan
Each fix comes with stored answers and an expected impact, so a client sees why it matters before approving the work.
Write what AI is missing
Filter to the Pages theme and the get recommended goal to find the comparison and pricing pages engines need from you.
Fixes that fit a place, not a blog
Place and app brands get playbook fixes such as review replies and listing edits instead of generic article ideas.
Why it matters
Every fix has proof
You see the real answers from each engine, so you act on evidence instead of a score.
Start with what works
Ranking uses how often each kind of fix moved answers for other brands, not guesswork.
One list, nothing lost
Every lost question has a matching problem, grouped by theme and goal, with one clear next action.
Decisions stay on record
Declined problems keep their reason and can be restored, so the team never argues about the same gap twice.

Questions about AI visibility fix recommendations
What counts as a problem in Proofsource Fix it?
Any tracked buyer question where any of 10 AI engines such as ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Copilot answered without naming your brand, named a competitor instead, stated a fact that differs from yours, or cited other sources. Pages AI cannot open and lists you could join also appear as rows.
How are fixes ranked?
Each fix gets an expected impact of High, Medium or Low. The ranking uses how often fixes of the same kind moved AI answers for other brands, measured across customers, so proven kinds of fixes rise to the top.
Does it work with 10 AI engines such as ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Copilot?
Yes. Every fix is built from stored answers on the engines your plan covers, up to 10 in all: ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, Google AI Overviews, Google AI Mode, Gemini, Microsoft Copilot, Grok, DeepSeek and Meta AI. Each fix shows which engines left you out.
Can I see the evidence before I act?
Yes. Open any fix to read the issue, the stored answers from each engine, the competitors named instead, and the hypothesis for why it happens.
What if a recommendation does not apply to us?
Decline it with a reason such as not relevant, not our market or already handled. It moves to Declined with the reason on record, and you can restore it at any time.
Do you only suggest blog posts?
No. Fixes include pages on your site, comparison pages, list placements, review work, posts, fact corrections and technical changes. App, place, creator and person brands get playbook fixes that fit them.
How is this different from Peec AI or Writesonic recommendations?
Both offer strong prioritized recommendations. Proofsource ties every fix to the stored answers that prove the gap, ranks by how fixes of that kind performed across customers, and carries the same fix through drafting, publishing and verification in one place.
What happens after I start a fix?
Proofsource shows the plan and what it usually uses in credits before it starts, then drafts, publishes with your approval, and re-reads the answers to prove whether the fix moved them.
