See who AI recommends instead of you, and what changed

Competitor tracking reads every answer you already collect for each rival's name and domain, so each competitor gets a mention rate and citation rate counted over the same answers as yours. Nothing extra is run and no prompt slots are used. With an event automation on, Attensira also watches up to five rivals' pricing, feature and comparison pages daily.

These overlap: one answer can name several brands, so they need not sum to 100%.

How does competitor tracking work?

A rival is measured on the same answers, prompts, engines and days as you, so a gap between you on one topic is a real gap.

  1. Pick rivals from evidence

    At signup the free scan's answers suggest rivals with counts, such as “Named in 11 of 150 answers”. Untick the ones you do not lose deals to. The crew asks about at most one it is unsure of, and never tracks one on its own.

  2. Add by domain

    The domain makes a citation attributable and the name makes a mention detectable; both are used. A rival added today is measured from the next reading on.

  3. Read rates on one denominator

    Each rival's mention and citation rate is counted over every answer read, the same as yours. Your rate going up never requires theirs to go down.

  4. Watch what they change

    With an automation listening for competitor changes, up to five rivals' pricing, feature and comparison pages are checked daily. A change wakes the crew, which says which of your questions it threatens and takes at most one action.

Do rivals rank the same on every engine?

No. On Perplexity, SE Ranking is named in more answers than Profound, which is not the order on both engines together. Rivals are read per engine, in the same answers as you, so you see where each one leads.

What is measured for each rival?

The same readings you get for yourself, never a leaderboard.

What is measured for each rival?
Mention rateAnswers that named the rival, divided by every answer read. Shown with n.
Citation rateAnswers that linked the rival's domain. Strong brands are often named from memory without a link.
Lost toOn each prompt and engine, the rival named instead of you in the latest reading, shown in the cell's evidence.
Their pages as sourcesWhen a rival's own page decides an answer, the next move is to publish your answer to that question.
AgainstEach tracked rival adds an Against field to your company profile: why a buyer would choose you, used on every comparison page the crew writes.
What it costsNo extra runs and no prompt slots. A rival is read from the answers you already collect, from the day you add it.

What does competitor tracking not do?

It measures how often engines bring a brand up. It does not turn that into a ranking or a market-share figure.

  • There is no brand rank and no leaderboard. Rates overlap and routinely total well over 100%.
  • A competitor's rate is not traffic, revenue or market share; it is how often engines name them for your buyers' questions.
  • Sentiment scores how answers talk about you, not about your competitors.
  • A rival added today has no history before today: answers are re-read from that point forward.
  • Page watching covers up to five rivals' pricing, feature and comparison pages, and only while an automation listens for the change.

What does a rival-versus-rival answer say?

Some questions name two rivals and never you. Perplexity on 3 Oct, to “Peec AI vs Profound”, cites both vendors' own comparison pages first. Competitor tracking keeps these answers too, so you see what each rival says about the other.

What else do people ask about competitor tracking?

Does tracking a competitor use prompt slots or credits?
No prompt slots. The rival is found in answers you already collect. Reading the numbers is free; an automation that acts on a competitor's change spends credits when it runs.
Why don't competitor rates add up to 100%?
Each brand is scored on its own: was it named in this answer, yes or no. An assistant asked for the best tools lists several, so rates overlap. An answer that names nobody you track still counts in every denominator.
How many competitors can I track?
Competitors are not limited by prompt slots. Daily page watching covers up to five of them; the rest are still measured in every answer.
Can I add a competitor from my own assistant?
Yes. The add_competitor MCP tool adds one by domain, and remove_competitor stops tracking it.
How were my competitors chosen at signup?
From evidence. The free scan's answers suggest the brands they named, with counts, then domains cited beside yours, then rivals named on your site. Every suggestion starts ticked; untick the ones you do not lose deals to and add any that are missing by their website.
Is this a competitive analysis tool?
For AI answers, yes: which rivals engines name for your buyers' questions, which of their pages decide those answers, and when they change them. It does not estimate their traffic or ad spend.
