QUESTIONS

Questions about Competitor content.

It checks where competitors win in AI rankings, comparisons, citations, and keyword demand, and returns the results of each check in one response.

No. It measures what AI answers and cites, plus keyword demand around the category. It is about AI-visible content gaps, not a site crawl.

Yes. Include your brand so the agent can compare you against the competitor set and spot gaps that matter.

Structured competitor research data: rankings, head-to-head comparison, citations, and keyword demand — each labeled with the endpoint that produced it.

Yes. It is useful for client onboarding, quarterly reviews, and content gap audits where you need evidence without building the spreadsheet by hand.
