Questions about the Competitor Comparison Tool
How can I see what my competitor is doing better?
Run the free Competitor Comparison on this page. Enter your website and the competitor you want compared, and the check reports the areas where they lead, from reviews and published pricing to the buyer questions their site answers and yours does not.
Is one competitor comparison enough to track a rival?
No. One comparison shows where you stand today. It cannot tell you when the competitor publishes something new or starts appearing for questions you care about, which is why ongoing tracking is a separate service.
What exactly does the Competitor Comparison look at?
Put your business and one competitor side by side, and see where the real gap sits. Specifically, it checks ai answer visibility, wherever it can be measured reliably, the services each business publishes, and the ones only one of you covers, and 6 other things listed in full on this page. A like for like comparison naming the areas your competitor leads, and the three differences worth the most to your revenue.
Can I run this right now?
Yes. It is free, it needs no account and no payment, and it usually takes under a minute. You get the real result for your own business, not a sample.
Why does this matter to my revenue?
A single comparison tells you where you stand today. It does not tell you when your competitor publishes something new, earns stronger authority, or starts appearing for questions you care about.
What happens if I ask you to handle it?
We deliver Extra Competitor Tracking as 3 separate steps over 7 days, and every step appears in your portal with its own due date so you can watch it happen without chasing anyone. You receive 3 named deliverables at the end. Nothing is billed until you have seen the full scope and approved the price.
What do you need from me?
Only what we cannot find ourselves: the competitor name, and their website if you know it. We gather everything else from what is already published about your business.
Why can I not see the price on this page?
Because a number on its own tells you very little. Create your free account and the price appears in your portal, sitting beside the full scope, the steps, the deliverables, and the delivery date, with an approval step before anything is billed. There is no card and no charge to create the account.
Will this guarantee that AI recommends my business?
No, and you should be careful with anyone who says it will. Nobody controls what an AI engine says. What can be controlled is the accuracy, completeness, and consistency of the evidence those systems read about you, and that is the work we do. We reply within 24 hours, and our working day is Monday to Friday, 9am to 6pm Pacific Time.
