# Get inspired by Actions

> How to interpret insights and turn them into actions

## From insights to actions

Pierview surfaces visibility, sentiment, citations, and source gaps. The next step is turning that into **concrete actions**. Use this flow:

1. **Interpret**: What does the data say? Low visibility? Weak citations? Competitor ahead?
2. **Prioritize**: Focus on the biggest gap first (e.g., citation rate if you’re mentioned but never cited).
3. **Act**: Execute onsite or offsite changes.
4. **Measure**: Rescan and compare to baseline.

## Onsite actions

Create content and structure that AI can cite:

| Action             | Why it works                                                        |
| ------------------ | ------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Citeable pages** | "Best X," comparisons, how-tos, FAQs, structured content AI prefers |
| **FAQs**           | Direct answers to common questions; often pulled into responses     |
| **Comparisons**    | "X vs Y" pages match common prompt patterns                         |
| **Schema markup**  | FAQ, HowTo, Article, helps AI parse and attribute                   |
| **Clear criteria** | Explain *why* something is recommended; AI likes reasoning          |

## Offsite actions

Build presence where AI already cites:

| Action                   | Why it works                                                             |
| ------------------------ | ------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| **PR outreach**          | Pitch publications that appear in source lists; get featured in roundups |
| **Directories**          | G2, Capterra, etc., optimize listings, encourage reviews                 |
| **Communities**          | Helpful answers on Reddit, Quora can get cited                           |
| **Expert contributions** | Quotes in articles, guest posts on authority sites                       |

## Optimization checklist

* [ ] Identify top sources AI cites for your category
* [ ] List source gaps (cited often, you’re absent)
* [ ] Create or update 1–2 citeable pages (Best X, comparison, FAQ)
* [ ] Add/improve schema on key pages
* [ ] Submit or optimize directory listings
* [ ] Draft PR pitch for 1–2 high-Used publications
* [ ] Rescan in 2–4 weeks and compare metrics

## Next steps

* Use [Playbooks](/docs/playbooks/overview) for full workflows
* Set up [Reports](/docs/core-features/actions/reports) for stakeholder updates
* Review [Citations](/docs/core-features/analysis/citations) for citation tactics
