What Talebeacon does · Competitor benchmarking

Competitor benchmarking, on every buyer question

Someone asks ChatGPT for a recommendation in your field, and the answer names a handful of brands. Is yours one of them? Talebeacon asks your buyers’ questions every scan and shows who wins each one.

A head-to-head, as the engines told it

“Which tools help teams manage marketing workflows?”

One buyer question · asked on each of your three engines

  1. CompetitorA71%
  2. CompetitorB48%
  3. Your brand41%
  4. CompetitorC22%

Share of answers that name each brand on questions like this one, across engines.

What the engines weighed here

  • Ease of setup · missing from your message
  • Pricing transparency · you lead
The move it points to

Say how fast setup is, on the page the engines read.

The whole field, question by question

Each scan puts the same buyer questions to each of your engines and reads every answer the same way. Every brand they name is counted beside you, including the ones you never listed as a rival.

  • Who comes up beside you: every brand the engines name, including rivals you have not met yet.
  • Question by question: what each type of buyer asks at each stage (spotting a problem, looking for options, comparing, choosing), on every engine.
  • Engine by engine: each engine is read on its own, so a rival that wins on ChatGPT and loses on Gemini shows as exactly that.
  • How each of you is mentioned: recommended, mentioned, mentioned cautiously, warned against, or left out.
  • By theme: the reasons behind the picks, such as price or integrations, and who leads on each.
  • From one scan to the next: the same questions again, so you see what moved after your changes.

From one number to the questions you can win

Most tools give you one number for the whole market, called share of voice, which says how often the engines name you compared with everyone else. It says how far behind you are and nothing about where. Talebeacon keeps that number, then lists each question you lose, who won it, and the page that would win it back.

From one scan to the nextSingle answers change from run to runHolds steady across many answersHolds steady, and shows which questions moved

Ask an AI engine the same question twice and you can get two different answers; a brand's share across many answers holds steady (SparkToro, January 2026). That is why we count shares across every question rather than trust one answer.

How it works

  1. 01

    We write the questions

    We draft them from your site: the types of buyer in your market, and the questions each one asks on the way to a choice. You approve the buyer types before anything runs.

  2. 02

    We ask the engines

    Three AI engines per scan, your pick, each answering every question with web search on. Which engines we read

  3. 03

    We read every answer the same way

    Who is named, who is recommended, who is mentioned with caution or warned against, and what the engine weighed. The same reading every scan, so the numbers compare.

  4. 04

    You get the head-to-head, and the move

    Each question you lose points at a page or a listing. The plan ranks them by how many answers each change could win. Then the next scan asks the same questions, and you see what moved.

Questions people ask

Who counts as a competitor?

The rivals you list when you set up, plus every brand the engines name in your buyers' answers. Listing competitors is optional; the engines show us who you are really up against.

Can I see one engine on its own?

Yes. Each engine is read and counted separately, and you can change your three whenever you like; the next scan reads them.

How often does the benchmark refresh?

As often as every three days, up to ten scans a month, on the same questions each time.

Do my rivals see my numbers?

No. Your results stay yours: we do not sell them, do not show them to other customers, and do not train AI models on them.
