Why they do.
And you do not.

Knowing you lose a question is not a plan yet. This tab works out what the parties who do get named have in common, and says per question which page you are missing.

Short answer

The platform takes the buying questions you are not named on and reads the pages of the companies who are. Per question that produces three lines: who gets named, what their pages have in common, and what you do about it. You see up to twelve gaps at a time, on the questions that pay back most.

The pattern comes from the page type the page reader already determined. If nine of the twelve gaps show a pricing page, that is your assignment, not an idea.

The gap

One story per question, in three lines.

Not a thirty-page report nobody reads. Per question you see who got named, what those parties share and what the advice is. That is it, and that is enough to start.

  • Who gets namedThe competitors who are the answer to this question, with the number of assistants naming them.
  • What they shareThe page type that keeps coming back: a pricing page, a comparison, a service page, a guide. Counted across several domains, not one lucky page.
  • What you doThe advice attached to that question, with the reason. Done? The card disappears the moment the question is won again.

The sources

A competitor quoting himself is not evidence.

The first version of this analysis let a named company's own domain count as a source. That makes every competitor look authoritative. Now it drops out, and what remains are third parties: registries, quality marks, trade media, review sites.

  • Third parties onlyThe own domain of a named party does not count, and neither does a site classified as a competitor.
  • Read, not guessedThat classification comes from the homepage of the domain, not from its name. A name says nothing.
  • Twelve at a timeAt most twelve gaps, twelve rivals and twelve sources per round. A list of a hundred is a list nobody finishes.

From gap to won question

The path this tab sets in motion.

A question sits at zero

Three competitors get named, you do not. That is measured, not felt.

The pattern stands out

All three have a page of the same type. Usually a pricing page or a comparison.

The page gets made

You have it written or you write it yourself. The platform puts it on your site once you approve.

The next measurement settles it

Get named and the gap closes and the card disappears. If not, it stays.

The Human EdgeLeadership training for municipalities and leisure businesses

The Human Edge grew 1600% in six weeks.
And now ranks number 1 in its niche.

Many small companies think they cannot compete with the big players in GEO. The Human Edge shows they can.

  1. WhoMariska Pronk founded The Human Edge. For years she has trained professionals and managers in personal leadership and communication, from employee to director. Her approach works especially well in municipalities. Our founder Joost took her training himself.
  2. The problemYet AI did not name her. When a municipality asked ChatGPT or Gemini for leadership training, the big training institutes came up. The Human Edge was not among them.
  3. What we didWe worked on her website, wrote blogs about the questions municipalities and managers ask, and worked on her reviews.
  4. The resultSix weeks later AI names her on 16 of 30 buying questions, against 1 at the start. Ask Gemini who the best trainer is for personal development in the public sector, and she comes first. Above big, very well-known agencies. You just have to do it.

Questions about the market research

Is this market research the way an agency does it?

No. No survey is involved. This is research into what AI assistants quote in your market and why, based on the answers we already measured and the pages behind them.

Where does the pattern come from?

From the page type of the pages AI cites. Those were already read during the measurement, so it is a count and not a guess. Below a handful of domains the platform does not call it a pattern.

Why only twelve gaps?

Because a list of a hundred gets nobody working. You get the twelve where the most competitors are named and you are not.

Do I have to write a page for every gap?

No. Sometimes the advice is a page, sometimes it is a missing piece on a page you already have, and sometimes the question itself is badly put. The platform says so too.

Can I dismiss a piece of advice?

Yes. And advice you act on disappears by itself the moment the question is won again.
