Every card in the feed now carries a closing condition, written the moment the card appears. When a later analysis meets it, the card marks itself Resolved with the date, and nobody ticks a box. A card about Claude leaving a clinic out closes when Claude starts naming it on those questions. A card about a directory closes when an assistant cites the profile there. The check runs on every analysis, so the verdict on the change arrives with the same data that raised the question.
The condition is written in the unit the card was raised in. The detector that opened it wrote down what it would take to close it. That may be a share of answers on the same questions, a citation from the same platform, or a decision factor now cited. The next runs measure that and nothing else. A box ticked by hand says the page was edited. A card closed by the data says the assistants read it and changed their answers, which is what the owner asked.
How the closing condition on an AI visibility insight is written
Each detector states its own condition, in the measurement it fired on. Take the card about one assistant missing what its peers recommend. It closes when that assistant names the business in 30 percent of its answers on those questions. The card about a lost standing question closes when the panel’s own intents come back recommending the business in 40 percent of answers. A directory card closes when an assistant cites the profile on that domain. For a brand, it closes when the card of the product the insight was about gets cited there. A decision factor card closes once the business is cited for that factor, read off the same coverage measurement that found the gap.
Site cards work the same way with a different instrument. A card saying assistants cannot read the site closes when the next site pass reads the robots file and finds the crawlers allowed. A card about a dead cited page closes when the re-check reaches the pages and the dead one is gone. A pass that failed to fetch anything closes nothing, since an unanswered question is not an all-clear. A free AI visibility check shows the first of these answers for any site. The cards that come out of it carry their conditions from day one.
Why one quiet AI analysis never closes a card
Assistants re-generate their answers on every run, and a business named on Tuesday can be missing on Wednesday with nothing changed. So a card’s detector going quiet for one run is noise, and the first version of the feed treated it as a win. That produced Resolved tags over gaps that were still open the next morning. Now a card closes on one thing only, its condition measured over at least six answers on its own questions. With fewer answers it waits.
Detection and closure also measure the same thing with the same code. A card about a decision factor is raised over one coverage reading of the window and closed over that same reading. While the two sides read the window separately, a card once managed to be a standing gap and a met closure in the same pass. One reading rules that out.
A ticked box records that the work was done. A resolved card records that the assistants noticed.
A card that never meets its condition still leaves the feed, under a different word. Two weeks without its detector firing and it is archived, because the finding stopped being true without anyone answering it. Four weeks still firing but unchanged and it goes dormant, a known standing item that returns the moment something about it moves. Neither of those is Resolved, so nothing in the feed says a change worked unless the AI visibility score data says it.
What the owner decides and what the data decides
Two things are the owner’s. A card can be hidden, and a hidden card can be restored. The actions under a card can be ticked done, reopened or dismissed, which tracks the owner’s own progress on the page or the listing. The card above those actions keeps its own status. Every action ticked and the card still open means the assistants have not shown the change yet, which is worth seeing on the dashboard.
A dismissal is read as an answer. The hidden card stays hidden while the signal keeps saying the same thing, whatever its numbers do and however long ago it was hidden. It comes back only when the finding is about something new, a different assistant, platform, question or factor. It never comes back by email, because the card was read once and rejected once, and the dismissal itself records that.
Resolved is reachable by data alone. The dashboard has no button for it and the API refuses it. That is what keeps the word meaning the same thing on every surface that shows it. A count of cards closed by hand tells you how diligent the owner was. A count of cards closed by data tells you how many changes the assistants picked up, and the platform reads it that way.
How this compares to other AI search optimization tools
Writesonic’s Action Center detects on its own when a new citation goes live. Its docs still ask to mark the action complete when done. Profound’s Aim projects measure a metric before and after a piece of work, and the lifecycle verbs beside a project are Track and Archive. AthenaHQ’s insight card resolves through a Mark done click. Otterly walks a suggestion from Suggestions to To-Do to Archive, each step by the user. Every one of the eight tools we checked in August 2026 closes a recommendation by hand.
A close by hand says what the owner did. A close on data says what ChatGPT, Google AI, Perplexity, Claude and Grok did with it. Reachd is the only tool in the category that closes a recommendation on the assistants’ answers. Since mid-July, ten cards on five businesses have closed this way. They met five different conditions, among them a competitor’s share receding, a platform citing the profile and a site pass coming back clean. The Italian Cabinet case shows the same movement from the score side. Absent from every answer on March 11, the business was the most recommended of its Miami competitors six weeks later, and still ahead of them four months after the work stopped.
What it changes for getting recommended by ChatGPT and Google AI
The feed already said what to change and on which page, and it now prices the change in points. With closure by data it also says whether the change worked, read from the answers. An owner publishes the sentence a card asked for and moves on. When Claude starts naming the business on those questions, the card closes itself, dated, and stays in the feed for five days as a result. When it stays open, that is the assistants’ answer too, and the next card to work on is the one still at the top.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does Resolved mean on an AI visibility insight?
It means a later analysis met the closing condition the card was created with. For a card about an assistant leaving the business out, that is the assistant naming it on those questions. For a card about a directory, it is an assistant citing the profile there. The card shows the day it was found and the day it closed, and stays in the feed for five days as a result.
How does Reachd know the change got my business recommended by ChatGPT?
Every analysis asks the same standing questions at ChatGPT, Google AI, Perplexity, Claude and Grok and stores every answer. The closing condition is measured over those answers with the same code that raised the card, so the two cannot disagree about what counts. A card closes when the share of answers it was raised on crosses the threshold written on it.
Can I mark an AI visibility insight as done myself?
No. The owner can hide a card, bring it back, and tick the actions under it to track their own progress. Resolved is reserved for the data, and the dashboard has no button for it. That keeps a resolved card meaning one thing wherever it appears, in the feed, in the email and in the API.
Why is my insight still open when I already made the change?
Because the assistants have not shown it yet. A published page has to be read, cited and used in an answer before the share moves, and a closing condition needs at least six answers on the card's own questions before it is judged. A card that goes quiet for two weeks without meeting its condition is archived, since silence proves nothing either way.
What happens to an AI search insight I hide?
It stays hidden while the signal keeps saying the same thing, however its numbers move. Reachd treats a dismissal as an answer, so no timer brings the card back. It returns only when the finding is about something new, a different assistant, platform, question or decision factor, and it never returns by email.
Do other AI visibility tools close recommendations automatically?
Otterly moves a suggestion from Suggestions to To-Do to Archive by hand. AthenaHQ closes an insight with a Mark done click, and Writesonic's Action Center asks to mark an action complete when done, even though it detects new citations on its own. Profound measures before and after a project, and its lifecycle verbs are Track and Archive. Reachd is the only one that closes a card on the assistants' answers.
How long does a resolved insight stay in the AI visibility feed?
Five days, dated with the day it closed. A closure is news worth reading once, so the card stays for one login window at the daily cadence the data moves on and then leaves the stream. The public API and the MCP tools read the same window.
