What it does

Returns the brand’s topical authority matrix — Citation Rate, Mention Rate, Average Rank, and Sentiment broken down per competitor — filterable by journey stage, persona, and AI model. Defaults to non-branded prompts only (the canonical scope for recommendation work). Branded comparisons are available on the Grow tier and require explicit opt-in via isBranded: true.

When to use

  • “Where am I weakest on purchase-stage prompts?”
  • “Who’s beating me on comparison queries for the founder persona?”
  • “How does my sentiment look across stages?”
  • “What’s my Citation Rate against [Competitor X]?”

When not to use

Inputs

Brand id is resolved from auth.

Response

Each metric array has one row per brand (yours + competitors) with isYou, brand name, and either a numeric value or a { score, sampleSize, confidence } object for sentiment.

Notes

  • isBranded default is false — non-branded prompts only — because non-branded is the recommendation-relevant scope. Passing true on a non-Grow brand returns the own-brand row with tierGated: true and no competitor rows.
  • Per-competitor averageRank and sentiment rows may be own-brand-only in some windows depending on sample size; citationRate and mentionRate always have full competitor breakdowns.
