Competitive AI Visibility Analysis: How to Find Where Your Competitors Show Up and You Don't

austin@atakinteractive.com (Austin LaRoche, ATAK Interactive CEO) — Mon, 29 Jun 2026 19:00:00 GMT

For the past year, I’ve written extensively about how the most common question I get from prospects and customers has become "how do I show up in more AI searches?" People want to know if ChatGPT is recommending them, whether Gemini cites their content, whether they exist at all when a buyer opens an answer engine and asks for the best vendor in their category.

If you just rolled out HubSpot and you’re waiting to see results, that’s the first problem.

By the time they realize the system isn’t working, months of bad data have already compounded into a forecasting problem.

This post lays out exactly which reports, dashboards, and leading indicators you should be pulling within 90 days of a HubSpot rollout, and what it means if they aren’t there.

The evolution from keywords to content clusters seemingly happened fast. One day you were focused on an exact title and trying to get your point across tying in a few specific words and the next day you were free to write about what you loved in your own voice without having to worry about how Google’s algorithm would respond.

austin@atakinteractive.com (Austin LaRoche, ATAK Interactive CEO) — Mon, 08 Jun 2026 18:03:36 GMT

For years, I've told prospects and customers the same thing: making a website look pretty is easy. Getting it seen and getting people to convert once they get there - that's what the real promised land looks like.
