What to write
How Peach turns your missed questions into ranked article suggestions, and what High, Medium, Low, Open and stale mean.
Updated
In short. What to write lists article suggestions and ties each one to the missed question it answers. Suggestions linked to a gap are ranked by how firmly competitors already hold that question. Suggestions that are not linked are still shown, in their own group, and are never ranked last by default.
Getting suggestions
If the source has gaps and no suggestions yet, the page shows the gaps and one Generate topics button.
Topics are generated once per source per month. If you ask again in the same month, Peach tells you they already exist and offers Generate another batch. That adds topics alongside the ones you have. It does not replace them. Peach asks you to confirm before it runs.
How a suggestion is linked to a gap
Each suggested topic records the buyer question it is meant to answer. When that question is exactly one of your missed questions, the suggestion is linked to that gap, and the row shows the evidence: the question, and who was named instead of you.
The match has to be exact. Peach does not guess that a topic is "close enough" to a gap, because a wrong link would put false evidence on the row.
Priority
A linked suggestion gets a priority band.
| Band | Meaning |
|---|---|
| High | Several competitors are named for this question, and at least one is named often |
| Medium | Some competitive pressure |
| Low | Little competitive pressure |
| Open | No tracked competitor was named for this question either |
The band comes from a score out of 100: half from how many competitors were named for the question (counting up to three), half from the citation rate of the strongest of them. 60 or more is High, 30 or more is Medium.
Priority here means competitive pressure: how firmly the question is already held by someone else. It does not mean easiest to win.
The table leads with the band, not the number. Two questions with the same competitors get the same score, and two rows both marked High is an honest result. The number is in the expanded row if you want to check it.
Open is shown as an opportunity, not as the bottom of the scale. It cannot be ranked against contested questions because there is no rival to measure.
Suggestions that are not linked
Two groups sit below the ranked rows, each under its own heading.
Not linked to a gap. The topic answers a question that is not one of your missed questions. It may still be worth writing. It is kept in its original order and is not sorted to the bottom as if it had scored zero.
From an earlier scan of this source. This is what stale means. The topic was linked to a gap found by an earlier check, and your latest check no longer reports that gap. Either you have since been named for that question, or the question set changed. The topic is not wrong. Its evidence is from an older report.
From suggestion to article
The Next step column tells you what each row needs:
| Row state | Next step |
|---|---|
| Proposed | Approve first |
| Approved | Generate outline |
| Outlined | Open outline |
You can approve or reject several rows at once with the checkboxes.
Generating or opening an outline does not use your quota. Writing the article does: each article counts once against your monthly quota. See Plans, quotas and billing.
Arriving from a gap
When you follow a gap link from Summary or the report, the page opens focused on that question, with its evidence at the top. Dismiss the notice to see every suggestion.
