Definition
AI Competitive Analysis (German: KI-Wettbewerbsanalyse) is the practice of comparing your brand's AI visibility against competitors — measuring who gets mentioned more often, who ranks higher in AI recommendations, and who dominates the share of voice in AI responses.
Why Competitive Analysis Matters in AI
In traditional search, you compete for rankings on specific keywords. In AI responses, you compete for mentions and recommendations. When a user asks ChatGPT for the "best project management tool", every brand that is mentioned takes a share of the user's attention. AI Competitive Analysis helps you understand your position relative to competitors — are you the first brand mentioned, one of many, or completely absent?
Share of Voice in AI
Share of Voice in AI measures what percentage of relevant AI responses mention your brand compared to competitors. If there are five competitors in your space and AI mentions three of them on average, your share of voice tells you whether you are consistently part of that group or being left out. A high share of voice means AI models recognize you as a leading brand in your category. A low share signals that competitors are more visible in AI recommendations.
What to Analyze
A thorough AI Competitive Analysis covers several aspects: mention frequency (who gets mentioned most often), positioning (who is recommended first or most prominently), sentiment (who is described most positively), model coverage (which competitors are visible across more AI models), and trend direction (who is gaining or losing visibility over time). These insights reveal not just where you stand today, but where the competitive landscape is heading.
