Evidence and the Acquire menu

Evidence is the fifth section in the rail, at /sites/example.com/evidence; press g then e to jump to it. Six tabs sit under the title: Scans · Search demand · Searches to look into · Competitors · Links · Google index. Scan one page and Scan the whole site at the top right start a new scan.

Evidence is what Querywright observed or measured. It is not a plan and not your AI’s opinion. See Evidence vs your AI’s judgment.

The Acquire menu

Acquire sits at the right of the top bar on every screen of a site. It opens a menu titled “New evidence for this site”. Opening the menu starts nothing; each item opens a tool where you choose what to gather.

When a scan’s form opens it repeats the site rule, for example “If this is the first successful scan of this site in your billing period, it counts toward your N sites.” Your remaining allowances are in Settings › Usage. See Allowances.

Scans

• Latest scan (or Scan in view, when you chose another scan under Change) with its date: Pages read, Couldn’t be read, Pages found and Coverage. Coverage reads “Complete scan”, “Partial scan”, “Partial, stopped at N pages” or “Finished with gaps”.
• Saved scans: every saved scan with Scanned, Scan, Address and Status. “In view” marks the scan the App is showing. Select a date to open the saved scan.

“Each time Querywright reads your site it saves a dated copy. Plans and checks always point to the exact scan they used.” See Site and page scans.

Search demand

• Search demand in the plan in view: each search a plan assigns, with its Page, Searches a month and the date Measured. “A measured zero is Google Ads’ count, not proof nobody searches it; no data is not zero.” Check search demand opens the demand tool.
• Keyword and local research: your keyword research sessions, including those for other sites. New keyword research starts one.

See Search demand, Keyword research and Measured zero vs no data.

Searches to look into

Candidate searches drawn from what Querywright has already retained. Nothing here measures, approves or assigns a page; your AI weighs the candidates and you decide.

A line at the top states the coverage behind the list: how many finalized Search Console days are retained and how many search-demand measurements are saved for the site. Buttons filter by lane:

The table shows Search, Market, Why it’s listed, Search demand and Site impressions. Expand a row for the reasons, the measurement and its date, and what you said before if you set the search aside. Site impressions are exposure, not search demand. When nothing qualifies it says “Nothing in your current evidence stands out”.

Which searches would you look into for example.com, using only the evidence we already have? Say which ones you’d want measured before recommending anything.

Competitors

• Domains in your plan’s Google results: each domain found in the retained desktop results for your plan’s searches, with Searches, Pages, Best position and when it was Observed. The order is by searches, then best position, then name; “never a score.”
• Searches: each search with its market, the number of organic rows, whether a local pack was shown, and the date.
• Next steps, with actor tags.

This tab reads results already retained and uses no allowance. Without a plan it says “No plan in effect”. Fresh Google results for a search come through your AI, which asks first because they use Manual Google results. See Competitors and Google results.

Links

• A bar stating what new link snapshots would use: “New link snapshots use N of your included Site Intelligence units … Nothing is acquired until you confirm.” Investigate opens a confirm step, “Acquire link snapshots?”, with Confirm and acquire. When every snapshot is under 7 days old the bar says there is nothing to acquire now.
• Dated snapshots, such as “Links to your site” and “Linking domains”, each with how many days old it is.
• “Competitor link gap”, “Link sources you pursue”, “Link sources you are not pursuing”, “Domains linking to competitors, not decided on” and “Links to pages the provider reports broken”, where there is anything to list.

A domain linking to a competitor is a fact, not a recommendation. Whether a link source is worth pursuing is for you and your AI to judge, and Querywright contacts no one. See Links.

Google index

“Google’s index reports for pages in your plan”: each page with Google’s newest dated URL Inspection report, in Google’s words. It is not a live test, and it is separate from Querywright’s live-page check. Select a page to open its Evidence tab.

Your AI can ask Google about a page, or check your sitemaps, through your Search Console connection. That uses no allowance unit; Google allows at most 100 inspections per site per day. See Search Console.
