Discovered Competitors are brands found in your measured AI answers that are not currently part of your tracked comparison set. They show the competitive landscape AI users are seeing, including brands you may not have selected during setup.

How to read the fields

  • Total Mentions shows how often the brand appeared in the measured results.
  • First Seen and Last Seen show when it entered and most recently appeared in your data.
  • Mention Rate shows how widely that competitor appeared across the relevant scans.
Tracking a discovered competitor adds it to your ongoing competitor comparisons. Leaving it discovered keeps it as context only.
