Competitors

Track competitor AI visibility, compare Share of Model, and identify prompts you're losing.

Last updated August 31, 2026

The Competitors view shows how your AI visibility compares to other brands on the same tracked prompts.

Adding competitors

  1. Go to Competitors.
  2. Click Add Competitor.
  3. Enter the competitor’s domain (e.g. hubspot.com).
  4. Click Add.

AEO Goal automatically looks for mentions of the competitor domain and brand name in all your tracked prompt results. You don’t need to know the competitor’s brand name - just the domain.

Competitor dashboard

The competitor dashboard shows:

  • Side-by-side SoM - your Share of Model % vs. each competitor’s
  • Head-to-head table - for each tracked prompt, who won (you, the competitor, both, or neither)
  • Win/Loss breakdown - how many prompts you’re winning vs. losing vs. tying
  • Trend over time - whether the gap is narrowing or widening

Prompt-level detail

Click any competitor to see a prompt-by-prompt breakdown:

  • You win - your brand appears, competitor doesn’t
  • Competitor wins - competitor appears, you don’t
  • Both appear - both brands mentioned (check position)
  • Neither - no brand recommended

Focus your content strategy on “Competitor wins” prompts - these are the highest-impact gaps.

Competitive alerts

Set up a notification to be alerted when a competitor’s SoM changes significantly. Go to Settings → Notifications and enable Competitor alerts. See Notifications.

MCP tool: compare_vs_competitor

If you use the MCP server with Claude or Cursor, the compare_vs_competitor tool gives you head-to-head data via natural language. See MCP Tools Reference.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to know the competitor's brand name?

No - just enter the competitor's domain. AEO Goal automatically looks for mentions of that domain and brand name across all your tracked prompt results.

Which prompts should I prioritize?

Focus on 'Competitor wins' prompts, where the competitor appears and you do not. These are the highest-impact content gaps to close.

Can I be alerted when a competitor's visibility changes?

Yes. Enable Competitor alerts in Settings then Notifications to be notified when a competitor's Share of Model changes significantly.

Can I query competitor data from Claude or Cursor?

Yes. If you use the MCP server, the compare_vs_competitor tool returns head-to-head data via natural language.
