What the audit measures

Gemini's information-gain heuristic compares your page against the top results for the same query and asks one question: what does this page add that the others don't? If the answer is "nothing", you are paraphrase fodder.

Passing the audit is not about writing more — it's about writing denser. Every paragraph should clear a bar: a number, a primary source, a counter-example, or a procedural detail no competitor names.

A working checklist

  • At least one proprietary number per 600 words.
  • At least one named source per claim that isn't common knowledge.
  • At least one structural element (table, list, schema block) that summarises the argument for crawlers.
