Kojable Upgrades Share of Voice with Market-Aware History, Smarter Automation and a Clearer Dashboard

Kojable has released three connected improvements to its Share of Voice experience: market-aware historical comparisons, smarter control of scheduled automation and a clearer full-width analytics dashboard.

The result is more trustworthy AI visibility comparisons, less unnecessary automated work and a clearer interface for investigating the evidence behind each result.

What changed

Share of Voice preserves market context throughout its history

Share of Voice data needs context.

A visibility measurement collected in Ireland should not be treated as a continuation of one collected in the United States. Questions, cited sources, competitors, terminology, platform availability and product expectations can all differ between markets.

The released implementation records the market and language associated with each individual Share of Voice collection. A market change starts a new baseline instead of connecting incompatible observations.

Answer: Share of Voice trends compare compatible collections from the same recorded market and language rather than joining different countries into a misleading trend.

Why this matters for AI Answer Alignment

A company can be understood differently in different markets

AI Answer Alignment asks whether AI-generated answers reflect the reality of a business. That alignment can vary by market.

A company may be associated with different competitors, terminology, publications, use cases, categories or owned pages in another country or language.

Joining incompatible markets can make a settings change look like a performance gain or decline. Market-aware history makes that boundary explicit and provides a more trustworthy basis for interpretation.

Market-aware history

Each collection retains its original market and language

Historical records are not:

  • Deleted, relabelled or reassigned to the current market
  • Connected to an incompatible trend
  • Treated as though they were collected under new settings

When a workspace changes from Ireland to the United States, the Ireland results stay with Ireland, United States results stay with the United States and the first United States collection establishes a separate baseline.

Market changes do not delete previous results.

Returning to a previous market

Kojable looks backwards for the latest compatible collection

Consider this sequence:

Ireland → United States → Ireland

The final Ireland collection should compare with the previous Ireland collection, not the intervening United States collection. The United States observation remains available in its own history.

Answer: each collection uses the most recent compatible history from the same market and language, even when another market was selected in between.

No cross-market trend connections

Different markets never share one trend line

There are zero permitted trend-line connections between different recorded markets.

A chart must not imply continuity when location, language, market-specific platform availability or the compatible baseline changes. A new market with one collection is shown as a baseline rather than an artificial trend.

Smarter scheduled automation

Scheduled work pauses when continuing would create unnecessary backlog or cost

Article-generation backlog pause

Automatic article generation pauses when a workspace has 2 or more untouched scheduled drafts.

Share of Voice collection pause

Scheduled Share of Voice collections pause when either:

  • The workspace has at least 2 untouched scheduled drafts; or
  • The workspace has had no meaningful authenticated user activity for 30 days.

These thresholds apply to the stated scheduled workflows. They do not disable the workspace or imply that every product workflow pauses at two drafts.

What remains available

Scheduled pauses do not remove existing evidence

Existing snapshots, historical market collections, topics, citation sources, owned URLs, compatible-period changes, confidence information and market availability remain visible while automatic work is paused.

A pause affects future scheduled work. It does not delete data or disable the workspace.

Manual refresh remains available

Authorised users can still request a manual Share of Voice refresh, subject to the existing authorisation rules, budget limits, cooldown and concurrency protection. Manual refresh does not bypass those safeguards.

Returning-workspace behaviour

Meaningful activity can prepare paused work to resume

Meaningful authenticated activity updates are throttled to approximately one write every 15 minutes so ordinary navigation does not create unnecessary database traffic.

Paused Share of Voice schedules are rechecked every one hour. Meaningful activity can wake a previously paused collection for a run within approximately five minutes.

These timings are approximate operational targets, not guarantees. The workflow should not repeatedly wake inactive schedules without meaningful activity.

A redesigned Share of Voice dashboard

The page follows the wider Kojable analytics hierarchy

The released design replaces the old large header-card treatment with:

  • Exactly one clear page-level Share of Voice heading
  • Current market and platform availability
  • Tracked-topic information
  • A separate snapshot-status strip
  • A visible View details action

The Overview order is:

  1. Share of Voice KPI cards
  2. Citation share by domain
  3. Share of Voice trend

Citation sources and trend history use the full available content width. Empty baseline states do not reserve a large unused chart area.

Permanent views

Five views support different levels of investigation

  1. Overview: KPI, citation-share and trend summary.
  2. Topics: topic-level visibility and coverage.
  3. Sources: domains and source categories shaping answers.
  4. Owned URLs: company pages receiving citations.
  5. Changes: citation movement between compatible collections.

Measurements and trends

Four KPI cards and four trend metrics keep the evidence visible

Four primary KPI cards

  • Citation Share of Voice
  • Citation coverage
  • Brand mention rate
  • Distinct owned URLs cited

Four trend metrics

  • Citation Share of Voice
  • Citation coverage
  • Brand mention rate
  • AI opportunity-weighted coverage

Percentages remain connected to their numerator, denominator, sample size, confidence, collection status and comparison availability. Important interactive controls target approximately 44 pixels so the selectors remain usable across desktop, tablet and mobile layouts.

What users gain

A clearer basis for comparison and investigation

Trustworthy comparisons

Visibility changes stay within a compatible market and language.

Useful history

Changing markets neither deletes nor relabels previous results.

Reduced unnecessary work

Scheduled work can pause when backlog or inactivity makes it less useful.

Clearer analytics

Sources, trends and status information receive enough space and hierarchy.

What this means for AI Answer Alignment

Better market context supports more accurate interpretation

This release does not directly change how an external AI system ranks, cites or describes a company.

It improves how Kojable collects, organises and presents the evidence used to understand that representation. Market provenance, compatible history, collection state and visible sources help teams distinguish real movement from a settings change.

These changes strengthen the reliability of the alignment process. They do not guarantee that an AI system will change its answer.

What will not change

Existing evidence and safeguards remain in place

  • Historical Share of Voice results and recorded market and language metadata
  • Workspace isolation, confidence states and collection-completion reporting
  • Manual-refresh authorisation, budget controls, cooldown and concurrency safeguards
  • Topic, source, owned-URL and compatible-period change diagnostics

Scheduled pauses do not delete data. Market changes do not rewrite old collections. Manual refresh does not bypass safeguards.

Frequently asked questions

About the Share of Voice update

What will happen when I change the market?

A new baseline starts for the selected market. Previous results remain available and separate.

Will changing market delete previous results?

No. Historical collections retain the market and language under which they were gathered.

What will happen if I return to a previous market?

The latest compatible collection from that same market and language becomes the comparison point.

When will scheduled Share of Voice pause?

At two untouched scheduled drafts or after 30 days without meaningful authenticated user activity.

Will pausing automation remove my data?

No. Existing results and historical collections remain available.

Can I still refresh manually?

Yes, subject to permissions, budget, cooldown and concurrency safeguards.

Are different countries joined in one trend line?

No. Only compatible collections from the same recorded market and language can connect.

Does this directly improve AI visibility?

No. It improves monitoring reliability and clarity but does not change external AI answers.

Is this updated workflow available in production?

Yes. The market-aware history, scheduled-work controls and redesigned dashboard are available in the approved production release.
