Competitors & traffic

Tracking competitors

Track the brands that share your AI answers — including ones you didn't know were there, surfaced automatically from the answers themselves.

Your competitor list, kept honest by the data

Every visibility, perception, and citation metric in Analyze AI is comparative — your brand against the competitors you track. The Competitors page manages that set: who's tracked, how often each is being mentioned, and when they last appeared.

The tracked competitors table: seven competitors with website, mention counts in the selected period, and last-seen timestamps
Your tracked set, with mention counts for the selected period — the roster every other metric compares against.

The part you'd miss on your own: suggested competitors

The engines don't limit themselves to your known rivals — and neither does Analyze AI. Every AI answer is scanned for entities, and brands that keep appearing in your space without being tracked surface as suggestions, with their mention counts:

Suggested competitors: 19 entities frequently mentioned in AI answers but not yet tracked, each with mention counts, first/last seen dates, and Track or Reject buttons
Brands AI keeps mentioning that you don't track yet — with the receipts. One click to start tracking.

This is how you catch a rising player before they're on your radar: if a name shows up 16 times in a week's answers, the market has decided it belongs in your competitive set, whether you agree or not.

Adding competitors manually

Anything the suggestions miss — a stealth rival, a regional player, an adjacent product you benchmark against — add by hand with a name and website:

The Add New Competitor modal with name and website fields
Manual adds take a name and a website; mentions start counting from the next runs.

What tracking a competitor unlocks

Once tracked, a competitor appears everywhere comparisons happen:

Keep the set focused: 5–8 competitors you genuinely compete with beats 20 you occasionally hear about. Every extra competitor adds noise to the charts — and the suggestions list will hold the long tail for you.
