OverviewAnswersSources
The brand is missing: what should you check?
Example question
Which headphones do you recommend for working in a noisy office?
What you read
Example: a customer asks which headphones to choose for work. Open the answer to see whether your brand appears, which competitors are named and which pages are cited. Use this to identify information to clarify on your website.
The next step
Prepare a proposal to update the product page, then repeat the check using the same questions.
Mentions, recommendations and citations describe distinct signals: they are not added together. The denominator includes only valid answers, with the model and collection method stated.
What you get
Comparable conditions come first.
Select comparison brands and keep questions, market and period consistent. Examine where each appears in available observations and which content or experiences accompany it.
- Relevant subjects
- Compare brands serving similar needs, checking category and market.
- Sources and period
- Use consistent time windows and make differences in available coverage visible.
- Common criteria
- Apply the same rules to duplicates, namesakes and observation attribution.
- Explainable differences
- Read topics and experiences alongside volume. More mentions do not mean better service.
Comparison in AI answers
Who appears alongside you.
Compare your brand with competitors on the same customer questions. Read who is recommended, for which need and which pages are cited: these are concrete clues to gaps in your communication.
If a competitor is chosen for a feature you also offer, check how cited sources explain it and compare that with your page. The comparison uses only available answers from enabled providers, with model, market and date; it does not measure market share.
Rationale
Which features or needs accompany the observed recommendations.
Sources
Which pages support the description and who owns the cited domains.
Experiences and topics
Compare reasons, not just volumes.
Two brands may receive similar mention volumes for very different reasons. One may be associated with ease of use, another with support quality. Topics make the comparison useful to your team’s work.
Press, reviews and conversations should be compared using consistent coverage and criteria. A newly launched product does not have the same history as an established line; a source may cover one market better than another. Relevant examples help frame hypotheses about what your brand could clarify or improve, without attributing undocumented intentions or results to competitors.
Shared context
Category, product, market and period make the comparison interpretable.
Explicit differences
Coverage, sample size and source composition accompany every result.
Accessible evidence
Observations allow the reasons behind an indicator to be checked.
Priorities for your brand
A comparison becomes a better question.
If a competitor is recommended for an integration your product also offers, the useful question is which information makes that integration clearer in the observed sources.
The proposal may concern documentation, use cases or a more precise product page. Your team first verifies that the capability actually exists, then assesses the action. Subsequent measurement uses comparable conditions and keeps applying the change separate from variation in answers. This is not a method for copying competitors’ claims or promising unsupported results.
