Live tracking across six dimensions: keyword rankings and organic traffic, paid ad activity, review ratings and sentiment, Answer Engine Visibility (citations from AI search), social and digital presence, and backlink authority. Each metric is pulled from primary sources — Google, professional SEO databases, AI search engines, and review platforms — and updated continuously rather than as a one-time snapshot.

Which competitors does ZOE Pulse track for a general contracting business in New York?

Competitors are discovered automatically from local Google search and Places data using the "general contractor" query signal, then refined by you. Most general contracting engagements track 3–6 direct local competitors plus 1–2 aspirational benchmarks from larger markets.

How is this different from running a SEMrush or SimilarWeb report?

Those tools give you a snapshot of one dimension (SEO) at one point in time. ZOE Pulse gives you continuous tracking across six dimensions, ties them to general contracting-specific KPIs (projects in pipeline, average project value), and outputs white-label deliverables your agency invoices for. The underlying SEO database is the same professional-grade source — what's different is the synthesis layer on top.
