Competitive Tracking and Alerts

Your share of voice can fall without you doing anything wrong: a competitor publishes, an engine re-weighs its sources, a new brand enters the answers. Citedintel's competitive layer is built to surface those events the week they happen and to brief you on any company on demand.

The Watch tab

Watch tracks week-over-week movement across your category: who rose, who fell, on which prompts, on which engines. Each audit you run extends the timeline, and on Agency Pro and Enterprise the automated cadence (weekly, every 15 days or monthly) builds it without anyone remembering to run checks.

The useful habit is a five-minute weekly review: scan the movement, open anything that moved more than a little, and read the answers behind it. Movement plus the stored answers usually tells you the cause directly, a new page ranking, a review site shift, a competitor's launch.

Competitive Pulse and threat alerts

On Enterprise and Agency plans, Citedintel flags competitive events without waiting for your review: a rival overtaking you on prompts you used to win, a new brand entering your category's answers, or a notable endorsement shift. Competitive Pulse checks your tracked competitors daily; alerts arrive by email and Slack. On Starter and Pro, competitor movement shows on each audit you run.

Alerts are deliberately conservative: they fire on events worth interrupting your week for, not on routine wobble.

Competitor tracking

Every audit tracks your named competitors alongside you: how AI engines position each one, what they praise, what caveats they attach, and who wins each buying conversation. Sales teams use it mid-deal when a prospect mentions a rival; marketing teams use it to prep launches and battlecards.

Track up to 3 competitors on Pro, and up to 25 on Enterprise, across every funnel stage. Every tracked rival appears in your share-of-voice math, the competitive landscape map and the exported reports.

Field note

The highest-leverage rival to track is the one that just entered your answers, before your sales team has ever heard the name. New entrants win on a narrow evidence wedge, and tracking them shows you the wedge while it is still narrow.

Reports for the business

The Reporting agent produces executive-ready output: AI share of voice, sentiment and endorsement strength, plus the trend since your last fixes shipped. Pro includes the Business Impact Report on your cadence; Agency Pro adds per-client Executive Brand Reports. Reports exist so the person running Citedintel never has to hand-build the case that the work is moving numbers.
