Core Concept
Consideration Set
Short answer
When a buyer asks an AI engine to recommend tools in a category, the engine effectively assembles a consideration set: the handful of brands it names as worth considering. Being in that set is what visibility work is ultimately for, because brands outside it are never even evaluated by the buyer.
The competitors an engine names instead of you are its current consideration set for that prompt. Understanding who is in it, and why, is the starting point for getting yourself included, typically through stronger entity signals, authoritative mentions, and comparison content that positions you against the incumbents.
DeepLexa's competitor detection reveals the AI's consideration set for your category, showing exactly which brands you need to displace or join.
