Managing Competitors

Organization

The Competitors page lets you manage the brands you track alongside yours. Add competitors manually, use AI suggestions, or fine-tune matching names for accurate detection.

What it does

  • Lists all your tracked competitors with their brand name, domain, and matching names
  • Provides a Suggested tab with AI-detected competitors from your industry
  • Lets you edit matching names (the variations of a brand name AI might use)
  • Supports custom chart colors per competitor for visual consistency across charts
  • Sortable table with search functionality

How to use it

  1. Navigate to Competitors in the sidebar (under Preferences)
  2. Click Add Competitor to manually add a brand (enter name + domain)
  3. Switch to the Suggested tab to browse AI-suggested competitors
  4. Click a competitor to edit matching names, domain, or chart color
  5. Use the Delete action to remove a competitor (historical data will be lost)

Tips & notes

  • Competitor limits depend on your plan (Starter: 4, Growth: 10, Scale: 20+)
  • Matching names use word-boundary matching: "Apple" matches "Apple Watch" but not "Pineapple"
  • Adding new competitors triggers reprocessing of historical data — this can take some time
  • The Suggested tab uses AI to detect competitors based on your industry and the domains that appear in your citation data
