# Prospector

**Finds searches you rank for but don't cover.** Reads the queries an article already gets impressions for, finds the ones it never actually answers, and adds the missing sections.

## At a glance

- **Signal it watches** — Queries an article already earns impressions for in Search Console, where the article's content doesn't substantively cover the topic the query is asking about.
- **What it does** — Briefs a refresh to add the missing sections — capturing proven demand the page is already shown for but failing to satisfy.
- **Cadence** — Runs on the agent cycle, one article per run, with a 30-day per-article cooldown.
- **Autonomy** — acts on its own

## What it is

Google already shows your article for searches you never deliberately targeted. Prospector finds those — the queries with real impressions where your content stops short — and treats them as a [content gap](https://skribra.com/glossary/content-gap) with built-in demand.

Instead of guessing new topics, it deepens pages you already rank for, which is usually the fastest path to more clicks: the page has authority, it just needs to answer the question.

## How it works

### Match queries to content

Token-matches an article's top queries against what the article actually covers — no LLM guesswork in the detection.

### Surface real gaps

Queries with enough impressions that the page doesn't substantively answer become the brief.

### Add coverage

A refresh adds the missing sections, then republishes.
