    Audit a competitor's AI visibility.

    A competitor appears in every answer in your category and you cannot see why. Their advantage is usually one or two identifiable things — a data asset, a corroboration base, or a page structure — not a mystery.

    This page is for brands losing consistently to a specific competitor in AI answers. A competitor appears in every answer in your category and you cannot see why. Their advantage is usually one or two identifiable things — a data asset, a corroboration base, or a page structure — not a mystery. The work below is the sequence we run when a client brings us this exact problem: diagnose against evidence rather than assumption, fix the underlying cause rather than the symptom, and measure the result on head-to-head mention share and citation source overlap.

    // Key_Takeaways

    • A competitor appears in every answer in your category and you cannot see why.
    • Their advantage is usually one or two identifiable things — a data asset, a corroboration base, or a page structure — not a mystery.
    • What changes: a clear, evidence-based account of why they win and what specifically to change.
    • How we prove it: head-to-head mention share and citation source overlap.

    Their advantage is usually one or two identifiable things — a data asset, a corroboration base, or a page structure — not a mystery.

    What this looks like from the inside

    A competitor appears in every answer in your category and you cannot see why. It is usually noticed late, because the reporting most teams have was built for a search landscape where the click was the only outcome worth counting. Their advantage is usually one or two identifiable things — a data asset, a corroboration base, or a page structure — not a mystery.

    • Evidence gathered before any recommendation
    • Cause separated from symptom
    • Scope agreed in writing before work starts
    • No engagement recommended if the data does not support one
    // Method

    How we actually fix it

    Four steps, run in order. Each one produces an artefact you keep, whether or not you continue with us.

    • Run the shared probe set and record every competitor mention and cited source
    • Reverse-engineer which pages and data earn those citations
    • Compare their entity graph, corroboration and attribute coverage against yours
    • Prioritise the smallest set of changes that closes the real gap
    // Outcome

    What changes when it works

    A clear, evidence-based account of why they win and what specifically to change. We report against head-to-head mention share and citation source overlap. — set as a baseline before anything ships, so the effect of the work is separable from seasonality and from everything else running in parallel.

    • Baseline captured before work begins
    • Matched before-and-after measurement windows
    • Reporting by segment, not in aggregate
    • Findings documented whether positive or not

    // Frequently_Asked

    Questions about this engagement.

    Why does my competitor show up in AI answers and I don't?+

    Their advantage is usually one or two identifiable things — a data asset, a corroboration base, or a page structure — not a mystery. The practical answer is to diagnose before acting: run the shared probe set and record every competitor mention and cited source, then reverse-engineer which pages and data earn those citations. A clear, evidence-based account of why they win and what specifically to change.

    How long does this take to show results?+

    Long-tail and comparison questions typically move within 30–90 days of the fix shipping. Broad category questions take longer because they depend on corroboration accumulating outside your own site, which you influence but do not control.

    What does it cost?+

    The forensic audit is $4,500 and includes the full diagnosis plus a prioritised 90-day plan you can execute yourself. Ongoing engagements are scoped per brand. Implement our plan and if you do not see movement in 3–6 months, we refund our fees in full.

    Can we do this in-house?+

    Often, yes — and the audit is deliberately written so you can. Most teams have the capability but lack the diagnostic layer and the measurement, which is what makes the work land on the right pages in the right order.

    How do you measure success here?+

    Head-to-head mention share and citation source overlap. Baselines are captured before anything ships and reported by segment, so improvement is attributable rather than assumed.

    Is this different from regular SEO?+

    It shares the technical groundwork but changes the target. Classic SEO competes for a position in a list of links; this competes to be the source a model uses and names, which rewards explicit data, honest qualifiers, named expertise and independent corroboration.
