# Elevate

> Find the topics and questions competitors get cited for in AI answers but you do not

Elevate is the content-gap engine. It surfaces the topics and questions that competitors get cited for in AI answers, but that you do not. Each gap is a piece of content you could create to start earning those citations yourself.

## The gap list

Elevate presents a list of gap suggestions. Each one carries a **priority** and a **content type** so you can decide what to work on first.

* **Priority** is one of **high**, **medium**, or **low**.
* **Content type** describes the format to create: article, blog post, landing page, guide, how-to, FAQ, listicle, comparison, playbook, or checklist.

Open any suggestion to see the reasoning behind it:

* **Why to create it**, the case for filling this gap.
* A **content brief** to guide the writing.
* **Context** around where the gap comes from.
* The **original query** that exposed it.
* **Your closest existing page**, so you can decide whether to write something new or improve what you already have.

## Working a suggestion

Each suggestion has its own actions:

| Action              | What it does                              |
| ------------------- | ----------------------------------------- |
| **Accept**          | Commit to creating this content.          |
| **Dismiss**         | Set the suggestion aside.                 |
| **Mark as written** | Record that you published content for it. |
| **Delete**          | Remove the suggestion entirely.           |

When you click **Mark as written**, a dialog opens. Paste the URL you published, and optionally run an audit on that page at the same time so you can check how it scores.

Suggestions move through a clear status flow:

**New** to **Accepted** to **Written**, or **Dismissed** at any point.

## How Elevate finds gaps

Hikoo compares your own pages against the topics competitors get cited for, matching on meaning rather than exact wording. Where competitors are cited on a topic and you have no strong page, a gap appears.

<Steps>
  ### Prepare your pages

  Open Elevate and let Hikoo prepare your pages for comparison.

  ### Run the analysis

  Start the analysis. It runs in the background, so you can leave the page and come back.

  ### Review your gaps

  When it finishes, your gap suggestions are ready to work through.
</Steps>

<Tip>
  Results are best when your site is fully indexed and you have added relevant competitors. Index more pages from [Pages](/guides/pages) and add rivals in [Competitors](/guides/competitors) before you run the analysis.
</Tip>

<Note>
  Elevate runs against a monthly quota per website. Your plan determines how many analysis runs you get each month.
