Your real competition is wider than your rivals.

Positioning starts from what a customer would do if you did not exist. Often that is not another company at all. For a small business choosing an accountant, the alternatives run from a firm like yours to doing nothing until the tax deadline.

Another firm like yoursThe three competitors on the map.
A different kind of solutionAccounting software, a freelancer or a marketplace.
Doing it themselvesA spreadsheet and an hour every Sunday.
Doing nothingPutting it off until a deadline forces a decision.

Coming soon In development. No launch date yet.

Is Competitor Intelligence AI available now?

No. It is in development and has no launch date. SEO AI is the only MarketAlong product available today, as a private pilot.

Will it monitor my competitors all the time?

It is being designed to watch the public information you choose, record meaningful changes on a dated timeline and alert you to important ones. It would never bypass access restrictions.

Is this legal and fair?

Comparing public positioning is a normal part of marketing. The planned product would respect each website’s terms and would not copy competitors’ content.

Are the competitors real?

No. Competitors A, B and C and the accounting market are fictional, to show how the planned comparison would look.
