Turn what Virent observed into a short list of work.

Last reviewed 2026-10-19

Actions reads your Visibility, Analytics and crawler data and suggests specific tasks, each with the evidence behind it and the prompts it should move. You decide what to do.

Where to find it#

Open Actions in the sidebar. It is on every plan and open to every role except Billing; viewers can read it but not change it.

TabContains
To doSuggested actions you haven't started
In progressActions you started
HistoryDone, dismissed and resolved actions. Virent marks an action Resolved when its check no longer finds the problem.

Each tab is one table, highest impact first, with the action's group, impact, evidence, due date and owner. Filter it by group: Setup, Technical, Your pages, New content or Off-site.

Action types#

GroupExamples
SetupConnect AI crawler tracking, install the browser SDK, turn on prompt monitoring
TechnicalFix error responses on a path, let a crawler reach your pages, get a page crawled again, add structured data
Your pagesMake a page worth citing
New contentWin a prompt, publish a page for a prompt
Off-siteGet listed on a domain that answers already cite

Work an action#

Open an action to see:

  • What to do: the task, in concrete steps.
  • Prompts it should move: the tracked prompts the action is meant to improve.
  • Effect: what changed after you completed it, measured on those prompts.
  • History: who started, completed or dismissed it, and when.

Then choose Start, Mark done or Dismiss (with a reason). For content actions, Start in Content Agent (or Update with Content Agent for an existing page) opens the opportunity in Content Agent when it is enabled.

How actions are chosen#

  • Actions come from rules over your own data, not from a language model, and don't use AI credits.
  • Each action shows the evidence it rests on and a confidence level, for example "Based on 12 answers · low confidence".
  • Virent never acts outside your workspace: off-site actions tell you where to get listed; they don't contact anyone.
  • An improvement after an action is an association. Answers vary day to day, and other changes happen at the same time.
