Use case

See which competitors AI answer engines recommend

AEO Table shows how often competitors appear for the same buyer questions, which channels mention them, and what cited evidence supports those answers.

Measure competitors on the same questions

A fair comparison starts with one stable query set. Otherwise, teams end up comparing anecdotes instead of visibility patterns.

  • Track direct competitors, substitutes, and category leaders.
  • Keep buyer intent constant across every Run.
  • Review competitor mentions by provider channel and query type.

Find where competitors own the answer

The most useful gaps are not just "competitor mentioned." They show where a competitor is presented as the safer, clearer, or better-supported option.

  • Separate neutral lists from recommendation language.
  • Flag answers that cite competitor-owned pages.
  • Flag answers that cite third-party reviews, directories, or comparisons.

Prioritize the gaps that affect revenue

Not every competitor mention is urgent. Focus on queries tied to active pipeline, pricing, integrations, alternatives, and category definition.

  • Map each visibility gap to a page or proof asset.
  • Update comparison pages when competitors are framed inaccurately.
  • Run the same Task again after changes to measure movement.

Workflow

From prompt checks to repeatable evidence

1

Add competitor entities

Use canonical names, aliases, and domains so mentions are matched consistently.

2

Run buyer questions

Track the same prompts across the selected answer engines.

3

Inspect competitor evidence

Review answer text and cited domains for each competitor mention.

4

Update positioning

Use the strongest gaps to guide content, proof, and category pages.

What counts as competitor visibility?

Competitor visibility means an answer names, cites, recommends, or compares a competing brand for a tracked buyer question.

How many competitors should I track?

Start with three to five competitors. Add more only when the Task has enough query volume to keep the report readable.

Can competitor tracking show why we lost visibility?

It can show the prompts, cited sources, and answer framing behind the gap. That evidence helps teams decide what to update next.
