Tracking and trends

Weekly tracking that compares like with like

Every week we ask the same questions, on the same engines, in the same market. When the line moves, it's because the answers moved, not the test.

  • Changes shown in percentage points, with the answers behind them
  • Add a note when you change something, then see what moved after
  • Your first scan is a baseline. Comparisons start with the second
  • A line for every engine, so one strong engine can't hide a weak one

Competitors and share of voice

See who AI names instead of you

Every business named in a complete answer is counted, not just the ones you picked. See each one's share of voice, how often it's named first, and its average rank.

Your watchlist is a view, not a filter

Following a competitor changes what you see first. It never changes the math: share of voice always counts every business AI recommended, and average rank only uses numbered lists.
