Before you can improve your AI search performance, you need to know exactly what's holding you back. The Issues Identified card gives you a running total of everything Parsnipp has flagged across your brand's full digital footprint that is getting in the way of your AI visibility.
Parsnipp's analysis goes well beyond your website. We scan your social media presence, off-page PR and brand mentions, customer reviews, ecommerce listings, and more, running all of it against our GEO playbook to find anywhere your marketing footprint falls short of being fully AI optimised. This matters because AI systems don't just look at your website when deciding whether to cite your brand. They draw on a much wider ecosystem of sources, and gaps anywhere across that ecosystem can affect how and whether you show up.
One thing worth knowing upfront: it's completely normal to see a high number of issues identified, and it doesn't mean you have hundreds of individual fixes to work through. A single underlying problem can show up as many separate issues across your digital footprint. For example, if Parsnipp finds that several landing pages have slow load times or missing schema markup, that might register as twenty or thirty individual issues but translate into a single targeted recommendation to address them all at once. Think of the issues count as a measure of the total surface area of the problem, not the number of tasks on your to-do list.
The Issues Identified card works hand in hand with the Recommendations card, which is where Parsnipp translates those issues into clear, prioritised actions you can actually get started on.
