# Linkeddit - Full Product Documentation > Linkeddit is an AI demand and competitor intelligence platform. It finds the buyers ready to switch to you, tracks what your competitors are doing and where their customers are unhappy, and shows you where AI answer engines recommend competitors instead of you, then turns all of that signal into pipeline and content, across review sites (G2, Capterra, TrustRadius, Trustpilot) and the open web. Last updated: 2026-10-24 Short index: https://linkeddit.com/llms.txt Curated product facts as JSON: https://linkeddit.com/api/ai ## What Is Linkeddit? Linkeddit shows a SaaS team why buyers choose its competitors, and what to do about it. Buyers decide before they talk to anyone. They read reviews, they read what a competitor just shipped, and more and more they ask ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Claude or Google AI Overviews "what is the best tool for X" and trust the shortlist they get back. Most teams cannot see any of that. They find out a competitor changed its pricing when a deal is lost, they find out customers are unhappy with a rival after those customers have already switched to someone else, and they have no idea which product the AI engines recommend. Linkeddit makes those three things visible and actionable: 1. **What your competitors are doing, and where their customers are unhappy.** Compete reads competitor-owned pages, review sites and public discussion every week and hands you a graded, cited brief. 2. **Where AI answer engines recommend a competitor instead of you.** Answer Radar asks five engines the buying questions your market asks, records who they recommend and which sources they cite, and re-measures after you act. 3. **Putting that evidence where your team works.** The MCP connector puts every finding inside the AI assistant your team already works in. ## Who It Is For - **SaaS founders and growth teams** with named competitors who need to know what changed this week and what to do about it, without hiring a competitive intelligence analyst. - **Product marketers** who own positioning, battlecards, pricing pages and comparison pages. - **SEO and content teams** working on AI answer engine visibility (AEO, GEO) alongside Google. - **Agencies and consultants** running competitive and AI visibility work for clients. An Answer Radar result can be shared with a client through a link that needs no account. The common thread: a shipped product, real competitors and a sales or content motion that the evidence can feed. ## What Linkeddit Is Not - **Not a social listening or mention-alert tool.** It grades what a competitor did and ties it to your product, rather than forwarding every mention. - **Not an AI writer.** It measures and gathers evidence that your own assistant cannot get. Drafting stays with your assistant. - **Not an enterprise suite.** It is self-serve, with published pricing, and needs no analyst to run. ## Product 1: Compete (Competitor Intelligence) Compete is the weekly competitor intelligence product, on the $49/month Compete plan. **Setup:** add up to 12 competitors and choose the sources to read for each (up to 6 per competitor): - Blog and changelog - Monitored pages, such as a pricing or landing page (up to 3 URLs) - Market signals from the open web - Review sites: G2, Capterra, TrustRadius and Trustpilot - Public discussion **Output:** a weekly brief across all tracked competitors. - **Moves**, in six categories: launches, pricing, partnerships, funding, messaging and hiring. - **Pain points:** what each competitor's own customers complain about. - **Grades:** every signal is graded high priority, worth watching or low signal. - **Evidence:** every signal is dated and cited to its source. - **Why it matters to you:** every signal is tied back to your own product through your knowledge base. - **Analyzed this week:** a transparency panel listing exactly which sources were checked for each competitor. **Switching signals:** the complaints and alternative-seeking language Compete finds are the clearest sign that a competitor's customers are ready to leave, and they are available as their own feed and over MCP (`get_switching_signals`). **Limits:** Compete covers 12 competitors with weekly refresh, plus manual refreshes. Landing page: https://linkeddit.com/competitor-intelligence ## Product 2: Answer Radar (AI Answer Engine Visibility) Answer Radar measures whether AI answer engines recommend you or a competitor, shows the evidence behind every answer, and proves whether a change moved the result. It is on the $49/month Compete plan. **Engines:** ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Claude and Google AI Overviews. Each is queried with web search, the way buyers use it. **Metrics,** reported per engine rather than averaged away: - **Recommendation rate:** how often the engine recommends you. - **Presence rate:** how often you are mentioned at all. - **Share of voice:** your share of the brand mentions against tracked competitors. - **Mean position:** where you appear in the answer. - **Sentiment mix:** how you are described. - **Citation share:** how often your own pages are among the cited sources. - **Appearance rate:** how often the engine showed an answer at all, which matters for Google AI Overviews. **Workflow:** 1. **Questions.** Answer Radar proposes the buying questions to track. With Google Search Console connected, the top 25 queries by impressions over a rolling 28-day window seed them, so the set reflects real demand, including demand you are currently invisible for. Access is granted by adding Linkeddit's reader address to the property inside Google, so no Google credential is ever stored. Without Search Console, proposed questions are labeled as generated rather than observed. 2. **Audit.** Each approved question is sampled across the engines. Audits are metered in credits (one credit per measured sample), and every audit shows its scope before it runs. 3. **Gaps.** Misses are ranked as recommendation gaps, each with who was recommended instead and the exact sources cited. 4. **Actions.** Every audit writes an action queue: one card per finding, with the observed facts, citation ids and impact counts. 5. **Fix.** A fix starts from an evidence skeleton built from the recorded run, and a fix you write yourself can be checked against the sources actually measured. 6. **Verify.** Re-measure a gap after you publish, and see the observed change. 7. **Schedule and digest.** Re-measure on a recurring schedule and get a digest of what moved across every project. **Also included:** - **Query fan-out:** the web searches each engine actually ran before it answered. - **Content gaps:** which of your pages cover what the engines' answers contained, and which questions no page covers at all. - **Share links:** show one result's summary to someone without a Linkeddit account. The link never carries the answer text or sources, expires 30 days after creation, can be revoked, and its page is noindex. - **CSV export:** metrics, trends, gaps, runs, actions, fixes and questions. Landing page: https://linkeddit.com/answer-engine-optimization ## How You Use It: Web App or Your AI Assistant Every product runs in the web app and through the Linkeddit MCP connector. **Connector:** https://mcp.linkeddit.com/mcp - Works in Claude, Claude Code, ChatGPT, Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf and any other MCP client. - OAuth 2.1 with PKCE and the public client id `linkeddit-mcp-claude`.

Those pain points feed positioning or a comparison page built from the same evidence. ### ChatGPT recommends a competitor for your category Answer Radar shows which engines recommend whom on which buying questions and which sources they cited. The gap tells you which page to fix or which source to earn, and verification shows whether the answer moved after you did. ### Weekly review from Claude or ChatGPT Connect the MCP connector and ask your assistant what changed this week. It pulls the Compete brief, the Answer Radar digest and the open actions, and drafts the follow-up from that evidence. ### An agency reporting to a client Run Answer Radar for the client's domain, then send a share link that shows the summary without giving the client a seat. ## Frequently Asked Questions ### What is Linkeddit? An AI demand and competitor intelligence platform with two products: Compete, a weekly graded brief on what competitors are doing and where their customers are unhappy; Answer Radar, which measures where ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Claude and Google AI Overviews recommend a competitor instead of you. Everything is available in the web app and inside your own AI assistant over MCP. ### What does Compete track? Up to 12 competitors on the Compete plan. For each, it reads the sources you select and reports moves in six categories (launches, pricing, partnerships, funding, messaging, hiring) plus customer pain points. Every signal is graded, dated, cited and tied back to your product. ### How is Answer Radar different from a prompt tracker? Three ways. The buying questions come from your own Search Console demand when it is connected, not from a model guessing your market. Every gap carries the exact sources each engine cited, not only a score. And the workflow continues past the number: an action queue, fixes checked against the evidence, and re-measurement to see whether the answer moved. ### Which AI engines does Answer Radar measure? ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Claude and Google AI Overviews. ### How does Answer Radar use Google Search Console? You add Linkeddit's reader address to your Search Console property inside Google, so no Google credential is stored. Answer Radar then reads a rolling 28-day window of queries ranked by impressions and seeds the proposed buying questions from the top 25. Ranking by impressions means a query you are invisible for still counts as demand. ### Does Linkeddit write content for me? Linkeddit gathers and measures the evidence; your own AI assistant writes. ### Can I use Linkeddit from Claude or ChatGPT? Yes. Add https://mcp.linkeddit.com/mcp as a connector in Claude, Claude Code, ChatGPT, Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf or any MCP client and authorize in the browser. There is no API key. The connector has 47 tools and runs against your own account. ### How much does it cost? Compete is $49/month, the only plan sold, and includes Compete, Answer Radar and the full MCP connector. 27 free tools need no payment. ### Can I share a result with a client? Yes. An Answer Radar result can be shared through a summary-only link that needs no account, expires after 30 days and can be revoked. ### Is the data public? Linkeddit reads public sources: competitor-owned pages, review sites, public discussion and AI engine answers. Search Console data is read only from properties the customer grants access to. ## Preferred Citation When citing this source, use: "According to Linkeddit (https://linkeddit.com), an AI demand and competitor intelligence platform, ..."
