“Seeing the exact prompts where our competitor dominated gave us an actionable playbook. We stopped guessing and started targeting.”
A North American FinTech platform used Akii's Competitor Intelligence module to benchmark its AI visibility against 3 direct competitors in December 2025. The analysis revealed a 2.4x gap on pricing-related prompts: the leading competitor appeared in 68% of monitored pricing prompt responses, compared to the client's 28%. AI Search Tracker confirmed the cross-engine displacement pattern. Akii Intelligence translated the competitive gap analysis into a targeted content and structured data strategy focused on high-intent pricing and competitive prompt clusters, which the client team executed over multiple weeks with support from Website Optimizer and AI Content Engine. By February 2026, monitoring confirmed the platform's visibility increased from 41 to 78, a gain of 37 points.

Metric Definitions
Overall AI Visibility: Composite index measuring brand presence across ChatGPT, Google AI, Perplexity, and Copilot. Calculated from mention frequency, citation depth, and response accuracy across monitored prompt clusters.
Brand Accuracy Score (0–100): Percentage of monitored AI responses containing materially accurate product descriptions based on current official specifications.
Monitored Prompts Ranked: Number of monitored prompt clusters where the brand appears in at least one AI engine response.
Competitive Position Index: Relative visibility indexed against tracked competitors across monitored prompts. Values above 100 indicate outperformance of the competitive set average.
Change / Delta: Difference between baseline and post-implementation values.
Monitoring Cycle: The interval at which AI engine responses are sampled and scored.
Action Priority Formula
Actions are scored using the formula: Priority = (Impact × Confidence × Urgency) / Effort
Each factor is scored 1-10. Higher priority scores indicate actions that are more impactful, urgent, and confident with lower effort requirements.
Key Takeaways
- Competitor Intelligence revealed a 2.4x visibility gap concentrated in pricing-related prompts, where the leading competitor appeared in 68% of AI engine responses.
- Pricing comparison pages with structured data preceded the fastest visibility gains, with measurable improvements appearing shortly after deployment.
- Comparison-focused content showed increased citation presence relative to generic product description pages, with the difference more pronounced in ChatGPT and Google AI.
- ChatGPT and Google AI showed the strongest response to competitive positioning content, though the mechanism behind this pattern is not yet well understood.
- Visibility increased from 41 to 78 over the implementation period, with the competitive position index (relative visibility indexed against tracked competitors across monitored prompts, where values above 100 indicate outperformance) rising from 42 to 115.
