Competitive Lens FAQs

How competitive AI benchmarking works.

  • A side-by-side comparison of how often you and your competitors appear in generative AI answers, across mentions, citations, and recommendation rate, for the prompts that decide consideration.

  • We auto-suggest competitors AI engines already cite alongside you. Add, remove, or pin any brand. Pro tracks up to five; Max is unlimited.

  • Share of voice is mention frequency. Citation share is whether your URL is actually linked or quoted. Both matter: one is awareness, the other is traffic and authority.

  • Yes. Lens surfaces the signal causing each gap, schema, content depth, EEAT, entity graph, and each one resolves into a ranked fix.

  • We watch the source list each AI engine cites. When a new brand surfaces in the top three over multiple runs, it's flagged with a confidence score.

  • Yes. Per-engine, per-region, and per-prompt breakdowns are first-class, so you can see whether your gap is global, local, or model-specific.

  • A content gap is a topic competitors win and you don't appear for. An authority gap is a topic where you have content but lack the trust signals to be cited.

  • Yes. Recommendation rate is tracked separately from mentions because being championed is different from being merely listed.

  • Each gap becomes a ranked move with expected citation lift relative to the specific competitor you're closing the gap against.

  • Yes. Branded PDFs and shareable URLs with citation share, gap analysis, emerging competitors, and ranked moves.

  • Snapshots reflect the engine runs at audit time. Saved workspaces re-run on your schedule, with alerts on threshold changes.

  • Full Competitive Lens unlocks on Pro and Max. Starter includes baseline competitive context inside the visibility report.
