The result lacks context

Add the platform, audience, target keyword, page type, campaign source or technical constraint before running the tool again.

The output is technically correct but not useful

Compare it against the problem statement. If it does not help the user act faster, simplify the input and rerun.

The page still feels weak for SEO

Add a concrete example, one related tool, one related guide, a short FAQ and a clearer promise above the fold.
