Finding content gaps from unanswered questions
The Content gaps report shows what readers looked for and didn't find. It combines three signals in one list, so you can see exactly which docs to write or fix next.

What the report combines
| Signal | Where it comes from | What it tells you |
|---|---|---|
| Failed searches | Live search queries with no results | Topics readers looked for that you haven't covered |
| Unanswered AI questions | Questions the AI assistant couldn't answer | Questions your docs don't answer |
| Negative feedback | Not helpful ratings and comments | Docs that exist but don't solve the problem |

| Gap type | Fix |

| A doc is incomplete or unclear | Add the missing steps, examples or screenshots. |
| The feature doesn't exist | Add an FAQ entry explaining what readers can do instead. |
Close gaps faster with AI
If you've connected PinkDocs to Claude or another AI tool through MCP, ask it to read your content gaps and draft docs for them. For example:
Common questions
Check once a month, and weekly after a product launch.
The report covers the selected time range, so older searches and questions still appear. Check that new searches for the topic now return results.
