Are Your Competitors Winning the AI Conversation?
You need to know exactly what happens inside a generative AI chat interface when a potential buyer starts researching your category.
An AI Competitor Analysis is the process of mapping the generative AI landscape to understand exactly how Large Language Models (LLMs) position your brand against the rest of the market. Citeview is the leading Answer Engine Optimization (AEO) platform built to deliver total competitive intelligence across the AI ecosystem.
AI Visibility for Competition Across Platforms
See the share of each platform's answers that mention you and every tracked competitor, side by side.
Model-by-Model Analysis: AI Visibility Across Different LLMs
Not all AI models think alike. Because ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and other AI models are trained on different datasets, their competitive recommendations can vary wildly.
Winning on ChatGPT does not guarantee you will win on Perplexity. Citeview provides granular AI Visibility for Competition across AI Models, allowing you to segment your competitor analysis by the specific engine.
The Share of Voice (SOV) Matrix
Share of Voice (SOV) is a critical metric for any brand, but in the Answer Engine era, the way it is measured has changed. We measure AI Share of Voice.
Citeview's Share of Voice Matrix analyzes prompts within your industry to determine who owns the generative conversation. The SOV Matrix calculates the exact percentage of times your brand appears in the response versus your competitors.
Non-Branded Competition AI Visibility: Capturing the Unbiased Buyer
Tracking branded queries (e.g., "Is [Your Brand] better than [Competitor]?") is essential, but it only captures buyers who already know who you are. The true holy grail of digital marketing is dominating non-branded AI visibility.
When a user submits a generic, exploratory prompt—such as "What are the best running shoes for flat feet?", "Top inventory management software", or "How do I fix a leaking roof?"—they are asking the AI to curate the market for them.
Winning the "Best Of" Generative Prompts
Citeview tracks your competitors' performance of non-branded, intent-driven prompts. We show you exactly which brands the AI surfaces when the user doesn't specify a company.
The outlined cell in each row is the leader of that slice. Ties are not highlighted.
Visibility by Query Pattern
Identify the Default Winners
Discover which competitors have essentially become the "default" answer for your industry's most valuable non-branded questions.
Uncover New Competitors
Many digital monitoring tools only show you competitors based on direct mentions. Citeview reveals the semantic competitors—brands you may not even know about that the AI consistently recommends as solutions to your customers' problems.
Optimize for the Consideration Set
Use our non-branded visibility data to understand what criteria the AI uses to select its winners, so you can engineer your content to match those exact parameters.
Competitor Citation Share
If your competitor is dominating the AI Share of Voice, the next logical question is: Why? Where is the AI getting this information?
Language models formulate their answers by citing third-party websites, review platforms, and forums. Citeview tracks Competitor Citation Share, allowing you to peek behind the curtain of your competitors' AI success.
Start NowCompetitor Sentiment Analysis: Finding Their AI Weaknesses
Just because an AI mentions your competitor doesn't mean it actually likes them. Volume is only half the equation; context is everything.
Citeview's Sentiment Analysis for Competitors reads the context of every single AI mention to determine if the language model is acting as a brand advocate or a brand detractor.

Strengths & Feature Praise
What features does the AI consistently highlight when talking about your rival? Do they praise their user interface, their durability, or their pricing? Knowing this allows you to create counter-narrative content on your own website.
Weaknesses & Hallucinated Flaws
This is your competitive goldmine. What does the AI warn users about regarding your competitors? If ChatGPT consistently tells users that Competitor X has "slow customer support" or is "difficult to install," you can lean into those exact weaknesses in your own marketing campaigns.
Sentiment Tracking Over Time
Watch how a competitor's AI sentiment shifts after a product launch, a pricing change, or a digital crisis.
