Competitor intelligence

When a client chooses another firm, they usually saw that firm first.

AI Growth Director compares your firm against the rivals you name, search by search, across both Google positions and AI answers - and shows where the gap is small enough to be worth contesting.

How firms use it

A shortlist of searches you could realistically win

A single firm-wide visibility score looks tidy on a slide but tells you nothing you can act on. What you need are the individual searches where a rival is ahead of you and the gap is close enough to be worth closing.

  • Choose the rival firms you genuinely compete with, by practice area
  • See where they are ahead, where you are ahead, and where neither of you appears
  • Compare Google position and AI citation for the same search
  • Track whether a rival is gaining or losing ground over time
  • Turn a chosen gap into a content brief and measure the result

Comparisons are based on publicly observable search results and AI answers for the searches being tracked. The platform does not access a competitor's accounts or internal data.
