Every diagnostic the agent runs could in theory produce dozens of cards — but most of them would be duplicates of work you’ve already done or already have queued. SyncSEO dedupes opportunities across every surface where buyer-prompt work lives, so the inbox stays focused on signal that’s genuinely new.
What counts as “already covered”
A prompt’s gap is treated as already-covered if any of these exists for the workspace:
- An open NEW_OPPORTUNITY card in your inbox for a prompt with the same normalized text.
- An article in any status except
ARCHIVED— drafts, awaiting review, in progress, and published all suppress new cards for the same prompt. - A social opportunity in any status except
DISMISSED.
Archived articles and dismissed social opportunities are intentionally excluded — those represent work you decided not to do, so they shouldn’t suppress the agent re-surfacing the same prompt later if it’s still a real gap.
Near-duplicate prompt collapse
Two prompts that look the same to a human collapse into one card. For example, all of these are treated as the same opportunity:
- “Best CRM software.”
- “best CRM software”
- “What’s the best CRM software?”
Word order is preserved though, so “X vs Y” and “Y vs X” stay separate — those are semantically different questions.
What happens after you’ve done the work
Once you’ve resolved 3+ opportunity cards in the past 7 days (published an article, posted a social draft, installed a schema fix), the bell drops a suggestion: “You’ve resolved N opportunities this week — try a fresh diagnostic?” The work you’re doing is exactly what should move citations, and a refresh run is when we’d see the movement (or surface new gaps your moves opened up). You get this nudge at most once per week per workspace.

The full engagement loop
- Run a diagnostic — see concrete metrics + narrative.
- If 0 new opportunities, the inbox tells you why with evidence.
- If you’re stuck on the current corpus, refresh prompts to surface fresh angles.
- Act on cards in your inbox — write articles, post social drafts, install schema.
- After 3 in a week, the bell suggests another run to measure movement.
- Loop repeats indefinitely, always with a clear next-action.
