Competitive intelligence Example

A customer asks

Can you recommend a CPA in Denver who understands construction companies?

AI recommends

  • Firm A
  • Firm B
  • Your business: not considered

Why they were chosen

  • Firm AA construction industry page naming job costing and WIP schedules
  • Firm AListed for construction in the state CPA society directory
  • Firm B38 Google reviews that mention contractors and job costing

The gap holding you back

Your website says “small business accounting” and never states that you work with construction companies, so nothing connects you to the question.

AI recommends the businesses it understands best.

Customers no longer type “CPA Denver”. They ask “which CPA in Denver understands construction companies?” and get two or three names back. The businesses named are the ones whose expertise AI can find, understand and confirm.

01 · Competitive intelligence

See who is winning, and why

We identify which businesses are recommended for the customer questions worth most to you, and investigate the evidence behind those recommendations.

02 · Information retrieval optimization

Make your expertise unmistakable

We structure and improve the information that establishes your expertise, services, applications and authority, so AI systems can retrieve it, understand it and trust it.

03 · Continuous improvement

Keep strengthening your position

We monitor changes, implement prioritized improvements every month, and show you the work completed and what has changed as a result.

Our method

Built on information retrieval, not guesswork.

AI assistants retrieve and compare information about businesses before they recommend one. We build yours around what they match against.

Entities
Your business, your people, your locations and the bodies that vouch for you.
Services
Each one stated clearly, with its scope and who delivers it.
Problems
The situations customers are in when they ask.
Applications
Who and what each service is for.
Decision conditions
What customers weigh up: experience, accreditation, timescale, cost.
Supporting authority
Reviews, memberships, directories and third-party mentions that confirm it.

Implementation is the work

Most of the value is in what we change, not what we measure. Typical work includes:

  • Service and problem pages built around how customers ask
  • Structured data that defines your business, services and locations
  • Consistent business facts across the profiles and directories AI checks
  • Accreditations, case studies and reviews made explicit and connected
  • Competitor movements watched, and answered

The exact scope is set in your proposal, matched to your market.

Progress you can check.

No artificial visibility score. Each month you see real answers, repeated observations, how you compare with named competitors, the work completed, and the inquiries AI search brought in where they can be attributed.

Questions

How is this different from an AI visibility tool?

A tool tells you whether you were mentioned. We find out why your competitors are recommended instead, then change the information that decides it: how your services, expertise, applications and authority are stated and confirmed. Monitoring supports that work; it is not the product.

How is this different from SEO?

SEO competes for a place in a list of links. AI assistants compare what they can find and trust about each business, then recommend a few. We apply information retrieval methods so your expertise is easy to retrieve, understand and confirm.

How do you report progress?

With evidence you can check: examples of real answers, repeated observations over time, comparisons with named competitors, the work completed, and inquiries that came through AI search where they can be attributed. We do not reduce it to an artificial visibility score.

Can you guarantee we will be recommended?

No. Nobody controls what an AI assistant says, and anyone who promises otherwise is not being straight with you. We show you where you stand, change what decides it, and report what has changed.

How is the price set?

Monthly management from $599 and implementation from $1,495 are starting prices. Yours depends on the number and complexity of your services, the areas you cover, how competitive your market is and how much your current information needs. It is set after your consultation and confirmed in a written proposal.

Do you work alongside our current SEO agency?

We prefer not to. We work directly with businesses, and splitting the same work between two agencies blurs who is responsible for it. If you have an agency, we will talk through the handover in your consultation.

What happens after I apply?

We review your business and your competitors and prepare a tailored mini-report. We talk it through in a consultation. If we can help, you receive a proposal with the scope and the price.
