- Overview shows current performance — how your visibility compares to tracked competitors
- Competitors (this page) defines who is included in that analysis
Page layout
The page has two main sections:- Tracked competitors — brands you are actively monitoring
- Suggested competitors — brands Beeze has identified as potentially relevant based on your tracked prompts
Add a competitor manually
Use Add competitor when you already know which brand belongs in your tracked set.Enter the brand details
Provide the competitor’s brand name and domain. The domain helps Beeze classify sources correctly across reports.
- You are setting up a new project and already know your competitive landscape
- A campaign shifts into a new space with different competitors
- You keep seeing a brand in AI answers that is not tracked yet
Suggested competitors
Beeze analyzes the AI-generated answers from your tracked prompts and identifies brands that appear frequently but are not yet in your tracked set.How suggestions work
Suggestions are generated automatically based on:- How often a brand appears across your tracked prompt answers
- Whether the brand shows up across multiple AI models
- Whether the brand appears in the same answer context as your brand
- You are entering a new topic area
- AI answers surface unfamiliar brands
- Your tracked list has not been reviewed in a while
Reviewing suggestions
Each suggested competitor includes enough context for you to decide whether it belongs in your tracked set. You can:- Accept — moves the brand to your tracked competitors list
- Reject — removes the suggestion so it does not appear again
- Investigate — review the brand before deciding by checking how it appears in Sources or Overview
Managing tracked competitors
The tracked list is your source of truth for competitor analysis across Beeze. Use it to:- Review who is currently monitored
- Update competitor details when a brand changes domain or name
- Remove brands that are no longer relevant to your space
When to remove a competitor
Remove competitors when:- The brand is no longer active in your market
- You added them for a campaign that has ended
- Your tracked list has grown too large and is diluting the usefulness of comparison charts
Multi-project competitor management
If your workspace has multiple projects (brands or sites), each project maintains its own competitor list. Use the project selector in the header to switch between projects. This keeps competitor tracking focused — a SaaS brand and an e-commerce brand in the same workspace will have different competitive landscapes. Competitors added to one project do not affect other projects.How competitors affect other reports
Competitor data flows into several places across AI Overviews:| Report | How competitors are used |
|---|---|
| Overview visibility chart | Competitors appear as lines alongside your brand |
| Overview competitor table | Ranks all tracked brands by visibility |
| Sources source types | Competitor domains are classified as “Competitor” type |
| Prompt detail views | Competitor mentions are highlighted in individual answers |
| Summary comparison chart | Shows your score against all tracked competitors |
Best practices for choosing competitors
Start with direct competitors
Start with direct competitors
Add the brands that compete for the same customers and keywords. These are the ones whose visibility directly affects your market position.
Include AI-visible brands, not just SEO competitors
Include AI-visible brands, not just SEO competitors
Some brands appear frequently in AI answers but may not rank well in traditional search. If AI platforms cite them in your space, they are relevant competitors for AI visibility even if they are not your usual SEO rivals.
Keep the list focused
Keep the list focused
Tracking 5–10 competitors produces clearer charts and more actionable comparisons than tracking 20+. Focus on the brands that actually matter for your strategy.
Review quarterly
Review quarterly
Markets shift. New entrants appear, others lose relevance. Schedule a quarterly review of your competitor list to keep reports meaningful.
Use suggestions as a discovery tool
Use suggestions as a discovery tool
Do not ignore the suggested competitors section. It surfaces brands based on actual AI answer data, which can reveal competitive threats you were not aware of.
