Missing results

Diagnose empty findings, thin crawls, Free-plan gates, and incomplete probe coverage.

Updated 2026-08-06

“Missing results” can mean different things: a thin crawl, Free-plan gated recommendations, skipped AI platforms, or simply no AI mentions in probe samples. Separate product limits from site issues before assuming a bug.

Free plan lifetime scan

Free workspaces may complete one scan lifetime. After that completed scan, new starts return an upgrade-required gate. Upgrade to VisibleMax Pro — Early Adopter (7-day free trial, then $50/year via Polar) for unlimited scans, fuller recommendations, and monitoring.

Recovery steps

  1. 1

    Confirm scan status

    Completed, partial, failed, or blocked at start? Each path differs.

  2. 2

    Inspect crawl depth

    If pages crawled is near zero, fix reachability before interpreting findings.

  3. 3

    Distinguish gating from emptiness

    Locked recommendation counts mean Free gating — upgrade to see the full set.

  4. 4

    Accept partial probes

    Skipped platforms leave gaps; the rest of the report remains usable.

  5. 5

    Improve inputs, then rescan on Pro

    Strengthen public pages, entities, FAQ/schema, and llms.txt via Content Studio guidance, then verify with a new scan.

Edge cases

  • Public share links/r/[slug] views are redacted; missing fields there may be intentional.
  • Competitor core scans — no probe by design; do not expect platform grids.
  • Parked domains — “successful” crawls with almost no brand entities look empty.

When to contact support

  • Completed Pro scan with unexpectedly empty analyze output despite a rich public site
  • Free lifetime gate appears before any completed scan
  • Findings UI errors instead of gated/empty states

FAQ

Why are some recommendations hidden on Free?

Free shows a limited report so you can evaluate the product. Pro Early Adopter unlocks the full recommendation set and ongoing scans.

I upgraded but still see locks — what now?

Refresh the workspace and re-open the report. If locks persist after a few minutes, see Subscription issues.

Can support force AI mentions?

No. Mentions are controlled by third-party models. We help you improve readiness and evidence — not guarantee placements.
