How to use a docs gap audit

Start with real support questions

The best gap audit starts from questions users already ask: onboarding, billing, integration setup, troubleshooting, migration, and plan limits. Generated questions are useful for a first pass, but real visitor questions should drive the backlog.

Separate missing content from unclear content

A gap is not always a missing article. Sometimes the answer exists but the heading is vague, the example is buried, or the language differs from what customers search for. Fix those pages before writing net-new docs.

Turn gaps into a publishing queue

Cluster repeated questions, pick the highest-support-volume cluster, add a direct answer, and recrawl your sources. Then test the same question again in your chatbot.

FAQ

How often should teams run a gap audit?

Weekly for active products and after launches, pricing updates, or major docs changes.

What is a good coverage score?

A high score is useful only if the sampled questions match real customer intent. Prioritize the missed high-value questions first.
