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.
Core Intelligence
"How visible is my brand in AI answers overall, and against whom?"
- AIR Score, out of 100
- Share of voice vs. competitors
- Results by AI engine
- Named first, or just listed
- Sites AI trusts and cites
- What AI says about you
- Trends month over month
- Action Center fix list
Ongoing reporting, lead gen across a vertical, and agencies that want one score, one competitor list and a fix list.
Market Intelligence
"Which customers do I win or lose, where, and why?"
- Customer types you define
- Compare cities or services
- Any country, region or town
- How ready to buy they are
- Who wins each customer type
- Reuse audiences for new clients
Businesses with more than one kind of customer, place or product: multi-location, franchises, several service lines. Also scoping work before you pitch the fix.
Mention: the AI names your brand in its answer. Share of voice measures this.
Citation: the AI uses one of your pages as its source. Both are measured in Core and in every Market Intelligence campaign.
Market Intelligence in action
One business, many kinds of customers.
Core asks the general question. Each green row is a Market Intelligence campaign, asked the way one kind of customer would.
