What the AI competitive intelligence report covers
Competitor AI Visibility Scores
Monthly scores for each tracked competitor across your query set. Side-by-side comparison with your own score - trend lines show who is gaining and losing AI ground.
Category query landscape
How many category queries each competitor appears in. Which competitors dominate which query sub-clusters. The map of who owns which territory in AI search.
Framing comparison
Not just mention rate - how each competitor is framed. Which competitors are consistently recommended vs. mentioned vs. hedged. Framing differences often predict conversion differences.
New entrant detection
Brands appearing in your tracked query space for the first time. Early warning of competitors building AI visibility before they show significant web traffic.
Platform breakdown
Some competitors are stronger on ChatGPT, others on Perplexity. Platform-level competitive data reveals where to prioritize defense vs. offense.
Signal change analysis
When a competitor's AI visibility score changes significantly, what drove it? Review spike, editorial placement, or new Wikipedia article - understanding signal changes reveals competitor strategy.
Reading competitor signal changes
Competitor AI visibility score jumps 10+ points in one month
Interpretation: Major editorial placement (likely a "best of" roundup in a high-authority publication) or significant review volume increase. Check their Trustpilot/G2 review velocity and look for recent editorial coverage.
Response: Accelerate editorial outreach. Identify the specific publications that moved their score and pursue inclusion.
Competitor is steadily gaining 2–3 points per month for 6 months
Interpretation: Systematic review generation campaign or sustained editorial link building. Compounding signal accumulation is harder to close than a single placement.
Response: Match or exceed their review generation velocity. Monitor which platform their growth is coming from.
New competitor appears in AI responses where you weren't tracking them
Interpretation: They may have just received a major editorial placement, launched a Wikipedia article, or reached a review volume threshold that activated AI recommendations.
Response: Run a full audit on their AI signal profile. Understand what they built before addressing the competitive gap.
Competitor framing shifts from hedged to recommended
Interpretation: A persistent problem (customer support issues, pricing concerns) that was driving hedged AI framing has been addressed - or a new batch of positive reviews has overwhelmed the negative signal.
Response: Monitor their review trajectory. If they've addressed the underlying issue, plan for sustained positive framing.
