- [Understand the Data Behind Xtrusio’s Question-Demand Estimates](/docs/question-demand-data): Xtrusio uses Google keyword data from DataForSEO or a keyword-tool export uploaded by the team to establish the initial question bank. The team may use SEMrush or Ahrefs for external research, but the application does not have a direct integration with either tool.

- [Organize Buyer Questions by Persona and Buying Stage](/docs/personas-buying-stages): Generated and imported questions receive persona and buying-stage assignments. These can be edited through the available system controls or by asking the team. Editing access depends on the client configuration and permissions.

- [Monitor Your Brand Across AI Answer Engines with Xtrusio](/docs/ai-answer-engine-monitoring): Engine coverage and access depend on your deployment and service agreement.

- [Understand Xtrusio Scan Allowances, Scheduling and Rechecks](/docs/scan-credits-scheduling): Your agreement specifies completed scans, the monitored question set and engine coverage. Xtrusio does not sell this service as a credit/debit system.

- [How Xtrusio Collects AI Answers and Keeps Comparisons Meaningful](/docs/ai-answer-collection-methodology): Use the collection specification for each engine in your account when comparing answers.

- [Inspect the Raw AI Answer, Brand Mentions and Cited URLs](/docs/raw-answers-mentions-citations): Use saved question-level answers to inspect brand mentions and cited sources.

- [Understand Xtrusio Visibility, Share of Voice and Competitor Metrics](/docs/visibility-share-of-voice-metrics): Read each metric with its question scope, engine selection and filters. Visibility, share of voice and the composite score have different denominators and purposes.

- [Find and Interpret Brand-Perception Gaps in AI Answers](/docs/brand-perception-gaps): Perception categories should reflect the client's products, market and positioning objective.

- [Check AI Claims Against Your Approved Product Facts](/docs/check-ai-product-claims): Xtrusio combines software-supported scan analysis with review by the delivery team and client. After monitoring begins, scan data enters the workspace. The team and client use that evidence to assess claims and decide which content needs correction.

- [Understand Query Fanout and Related Questions in Xtrusio](/docs/query-fanout-related-questions): Query Fanout records the AI platform's search queries collected during scans. Executive Summary presents this scan-derived data separately from the related questions Xtrusio creates in Question Generator.

- [Turn AI Visibility Gaps into a Prioritized Content Queue](/docs/prioritize-content-opportunities): Xtrusio recommends content priorities using question-level visibility, share of voice and the client's objectives. The client-specific configuration records which campaigns, products and questions matter to the business. The delivery team uses those recommendations to select work within the agreed scope and capacity.

- [Supply the Client Evidence Needed to Write Useful Content](/docs/client-evidence-requests): Articles are written inside Xtrusio and marked for client approval with comments in the client portal. The client retains access to the software and can add information, edit the article or approve it. Use this review workflow to resolve missing facts with the client.

- [How Xtrusio Reviews Content Quality Before Publication](/docs/content-quality-review): Xtrusio scores articles against rules for citations, brand visibility, readability and structure. Article creation can use crawled client pages as writing context, and the client reviews the resulting content before the publishing handoff.

- [Review, Revise and Approve Content in Xtrusio](/docs/content-review-approval): Articles are written inside Xtrusio, marked for client approval and sent to the client portal with comments. The client retains access and can add content, edit the article or approve it.

- [Plan Complementary Content Across Blog, LinkedIn, Medium and Other Channels](/docs/complementary-channel-content): Xtrusio generates an anchor article for the anchor question, then distinct drafts for LinkedIn, Medium and other selected channels. The delivery team manually reviews and improves the generated drafts before client approval and publication. Channel delivery depends on your agreement and each platform's rules.

- [Coordinate an AI Visibility Campaign in Xtrusio](/docs/campaign-coordination): The delivery team coordinates campaign work against the agreed client objective.

- [How Xtrusio Builds and Integrates Client-Specific Agents and Workflows](/docs/ai-workflows-human-delivery): Xtrusio provides a shared platform and a team that can scope client-specific work under the service agreement. A request for a new agent, connector or module is not a standard self-serve product feature or a promise that every requested integration already exists.

- [Run and Review Work in Batches with Xtrusio](/docs/batch-workflows): Xtrusio supports generating multiple articles together. Confirm the input format and limits for the available operation before starting.

- [Publish Approved Content to Your Company Website](/docs/company-website-publishing): For the client blog, Xtrusio can publish an approved article through a configured MCP importer with a fixed schema. The team can also arrange a manual upload. Other CMS platforms are not automatically supported. A new CMS connector would need its own implementation and validation. Approval is required; approval alone does not mean the article is live.

- [How Xtrusio’s Writers and Editors Support Content Delivery](/docs/managed-editorial-team): Your agreement defines the editorial roles, capacity and allocation supporting your account.

- [How Xtrusio Builds Your Client-Specific Publisher Catalogue](/docs/client-publisher-catalogue): During Foundation setup, Xtrusio's team uses the company's industry and segment to recommend a client-specific publisher list from the master catalogue.

- [How Xtrusio’s Publisher and Broker Network Works](/docs/publisher-broker-network): Publisher and broker access is part of managed delivery. Each placement is subject to availability, editorial acceptance and agreed terms. Placements on the standard website list provided for the client are included in the subscription as specified in the client's agreement. Larger or exceptional publishing projects require separate scope and cost confirmation. Inclusion does not mean unlimited placements or guaranteed publisher acceptance.

- [Choose Relevant Publishers by Topic, Audience and Website Metrics](/docs/select-relevant-publishers): During Foundation setup, the team recommends portals using the client's industry, segment and editorial needs. The client approves publisher-selection criteria. Staff import candidate blogs from CSV or XLSX and continue updating the catalogue. Use the Publish Readiness score and article-to-blog matcher as decision aids, not as guarantees of publication or citation.

- [Research Companies and Run Human-Led Outreach in Xtrusio](/docs/company-research-prospects): Outreach is an admin and staff workspace, not a default self-serve client module. It organizes prospect research and follow-up. It is separate from the publisher-placement work in Link Strategy.

- [How Xtrusio Helps Build Website Authority Through Relevant Guest Posts](/docs/guest-posting-authority): Managed guest posting follows the agreed publishing scope. Rankings, indexing, citations and authority-score gains are not guaranteed.

- [Distribute Supporting Content Across Social and Community Channels](/docs/social-community-distribution): Social and community delivery is agreement-dependent. Confirm optional channels and external charges before work begins.

- [Connect Every Published URL to Its Buyer Question and Content Plan](/docs/question-linked-publication-records): Connect each publication record to its originating question and content-plan item.

- [Check Whether AI Answers Cite a Specific Published URL](/docs/track-published-url-citations): Check the cited page against the actual published URL and the saved answer.

- [Follow the Workflow from Content Approval to Publication and Recheck](/docs/approval-publication-recheck): Keep content approval, live publication and subsequent answer checks as separate workflow stages.

- [Distinguish Publication, Google Indexing and AI Citation Status](/docs/publication-indexing-ai-citations): Publication, Google indexing and AI citations describe different outcomes.

- [Read AI Referral Traffic in a Separately Configured Analytics Source](/docs/ai-referral-engagement-analytics): AI referral traffic requires a separately configured website analytics source. The base Xtrusio scan and report modules do not measure visits, engagement or revenue from AI answers. If a client has an agreed analytics deployment, the available metrics depend on its actual instrumentation; do not assume a standard Xtrusio Analytics module or a universal connector.

- [Investigate AI Crawler Visits and Website Access](/docs/ai-crawler-access-diagnostics): This page explains how to assess crawler-access evidence using the log sources available to your team.

- [Use Google Analytics Data in Your Xtrusio Reporting Workflow](/docs/google-analytics-workflow): The base Xtrusio product does not include a generally available Google Analytics connector. A client may separately authorize a scoped analytics workflow, but it must be verified for that deployment before the team describes it as connected.

- [Use Content Health and Search Console Data to Plan Page Improvements](/docs/search-console-content-planning): Content Strategy → Health uses Google Search Console data for each configured property. A daily sync collects page clicks, impressions, click-through rate, average position and top queries for the last 28 days and the preceding 28 days. Google's source data can lag by two or three days. This is not a real-time view of search traffic or AI citations.

- [Measure Leads and Revenue Alongside AI Visibility](/docs/leads-revenue-attribution): Leads, sales and revenue depend on the client's website, analytics and sales systems. Xtrusio does not guarantee those outcomes. This workflow keeps business-outcome reporting separate from AI visibility evidence and does not assume a native CRM connection.

- [Read and Share Xtrusio Executive Reports](/docs/executive-reports): Use Report and Executive Summary views to connect summary metrics with their underlying evidence.

- [Export Xtrusio Data and Understand Available Integrations](/docs/exports-apis-integrations): Use the export options available in your account. Confirm separate integration or API requirements with your delivery team.
