Why AI Competitive Intelligence Matters

When someone asks AI "What are the best options for [your category]?"—AI creates a mental ranking. Understanding this ranking is the difference between being recommended firstor not mentioned at all.

The first mention advantage: Users tend to trust and explore the first brands AI recommends. Being mentioned first—or at all—directly impacts discovery, consideration, and ultimately conversion.
