What Competitors shows

The Competitors page lets you compare how often your brand and your tracked competitors appear in AI-generated responses. All brands are measured against the same prompt set, date range, and filters — so the comparison is apples-to-apples.

How to add competitors

Competitors are registered at the account level and apply across all Intelligence views. To add a competitor:
  1. Go to Settings → Team or contact your account admin
  2. Add the brand name and any known name variants
  3. Optionally link the competitor to a root domain for source correlation
Once added, the competitor appears in all mention-rate charts and the competitor table on AI Overviews.

Reading the comparison table

Each row in the table is one tracked brand. Columns show:
ColumnDescription
BrandBrand name and domain
Total mentionsRaw mention count across all runs in the period
Mention ratePercentage of prompt responses containing this brand
vs. prev. periodChange in mention rate compared to the prior equivalent window
ChatGPTMention rate within ChatGPT responses only
GeminiMention rate within Gemini responses only
PerplexityMention rate within Perplexity responses only
Google AIMention rate within Google AI Overviews only

Model-level breakdown

Select any brand row to expand a per-model breakdown. This shows how each AI model independently covers the brand, which is useful when models behave differently — for example, if Google AI cites a brand far more than Perplexity.

Trend chart

The trend chart above the table plots mention rates for all tracked brands as overlapping lines. Switch between:
  • All models combined — aggregate across all AI models
  • Per model — one line per brand, filtered to a single AI model

Tips for analysis

  • A competitor with a low overall mention rate but a high rate in one specific model may be targeting that platform’s content preferences
  • A sudden drop in mention rate often correlates with a prompt set change or a model update — check Prompts for recent edits on the same dates
  • Use tags to compare competitors only within a specific campaign or topic cluster
