Core vs. Market Intelligence

Core shows how visible you are overall. Market Intelligence shows how visible you are to each kind of customer.

Every plan includes both. They run as separate campaigns from the same prompts, so you choose the mix for each client.

Setting up a campaign

Five plain questions.

A real example: a Charlotte plumber who wants to know which plumber AI recommends when a pipe bursts, city by city.

What do you want to know?

"Who gets the call when a pipe bursts?"

Who's the customer?

Homeowners

What do you want to compare?

5 cities in the service area

Where?

The Charlotte area

How ready are they to buy?

Ready to call right now

How to build it

Build a Market Intelligence campaign in 7 steps.

Every example below comes from the same Charlotte plumber build.

  1. Ask your question

    Type what you want to know, then pick the industry and area.

    "When Charlotte-area homeowners have an emergency, does AI recommend us, and who does it recommend instead?"
    Home services United States
  2. Pick the buyer question

    The builder suggests questions customers really ask. Keep the one that matters.

    ✓ Who is the best emergency plumber for a burst pipe or major leak near me right now?
    Which same-day plumber should I call for a sewer backup?
  3. Choose the customer

    Pick who's asking. Save it once and reuse it for the next plumber.

    Burst-pipe homeowners Need help right now for a burst pipe, major leak or after-hours failure.
  4. Choose what to compare

    Each value gets its own results. Here: one per city.

    Charlotte NC Concord NC Matthews NC Indian Trail NC Rock Hill SC

    Urgency (emergency, same-day, planned) was optional; adding it would triple the results.

  5. Choose how it's asked

    What kind of answer they want, and how close they are to buying.

    Recommendation Comparison Research Just looking Comparing Ready to buy
  6. See the prompt count

    Before anything runs, you see exactly how many prompts it will use.

    5 cities
    6 ways asked
    30 prompts

    Drafts are free. Prompts are used only when it runs.

  7. Approve and run

    Check the prompts it wrote, then run. One of the 30:

    "Which emergency plumber is best to call right now for a burst pipe at my home in Concord NC, United States?"

    Each prompt gets a quality score; weak ones are flagged before they run.

  8. Then read the answers

    Results come in by city and by AI engine. Prompt X-Ray shows the exact answer each AI gave, and who it named.

    Your brand named? Yes / No
    Who was named first Competitor
    Sites AI cited Sources
Prompt math
topics things you compare places ways each is asked prompts used per refresh

Example above: 1 question × 5 cities × 6 ways asked = 30 prompts. Start with one question, read the results, then expand.

Core runs the baseline. Market Intelligence finds who you're losing.

Both draw from the same prompts in every plan.
