Get a Slack ping every Monday listing every AI prompt where a competitor gets recommended — and you don't.

Who this is for

Teams in competitive categories. If Perplexity recommends your competitor when someone asks for "[your category] alternatives", you're losing deals you never knew existed.

The problem

Competitor gains in AI search are invisible. There's no rank tracker email, no traffic drop (yet). By the time you feel it in pipeline, they've been the default recommendation for months.

What you need

• RankAhead tracking your prompts (with competitors detected)
• Claude with RankAhead MCP + Slack connected
• One scheduled task

Set it up (4 steps)

1. In RankAhead, confirm your prompt set covers category and comparison queries ("best X for Y", "X alternatives").
2. In Claude, create a weekly scheduled task (Monday morning works well).
3. Paste the prompt below.
4. Review the alert each week and pick one gap to attack.

The exact prompt

You are my competitive intelligence agent for AI search. Every Monday:

1. Use the RankAhead MCP: list_prompts and get_gaps for [YOUR DOMAIN].
2. Filter for prompts where our score is 0 (or dropped) AND at least one competitor is mentioned or recommended.
3. For each gap, report:
   • The prompt (what buyers are asking)
   • Which competitor wins, on which engine
   • Why they likely win (citations, content, reviews)
4. Rank the gaps by buying intent. Flag the #1 gap to attack this week.
5. Post to Slack #competitive-intel. Max 250 words.

The play after the alert

One gap per week. Publish the missing page, fix the schema, or get listed on the source the engine cites. Small, compounding wins beat quarterly panic audits.

RankAhead's task agents already rank these gaps by impact ÷ effort after every run — this workflow just delivers them to your team automatically.
