How to find the questions your chatbot can't answer

Some questions aren't answered on your website. The chatbot won't guess, and Visitor Analytics lists those questions, so you can add the answers. In this guide two visitors ask a question aparexam.com's pages don't answer. We add the answer, and ask again.

Questions

What is a content gap?

A question a visitor asked that your website's pages couldn't answer. Visitor Analytics lists each one, with how often it was asked.

What does the chatbot say when it can't answer?

It won't guess. It doesn't make up an answer your pages don't support, and the question goes on the content gaps list.

Should I fix it on my website or with a document?

Either works. If the answer belongs on your website, add it there and update the knowledge. If it already sits in a PDF or document, upload that.
