Automated brand research

Brand research that starts from your domain

Setting up a brand profile should not take a week of workshops. Enter your domain and WriteWorks analyses your website, drafts your brand profile, finds likely competitors and generates starter prompts, so you review and refine a first version instead of starting from a blank page.

The challenge

Why brand research stalls

Blank forms, guessed competitors and research that never reaches tracking.

Brand setup is a blank-page problem

Every new brand, client or market starts with the same empty form: what the brand does, who it is for and who it competes with. Filling it in properly takes hours most teams do not have.

Competitor lists are guesswork

Teams usually list the competitors they know about. The brands actually competing for the same searches and AI answers are often different.

Research is disconnected from tracking

Brand research sits in a document, while AI visibility tracking needs prompts, regions and competitors configured separately. The two rarely match.

Answers shift week to week

The same buyer question returns a different set of sources each week, so a one-off audit is stale before the fix ships.

The solution

How automated brand research works

From domain to reviewed profile, competitors and prompts.

WriteWorks reads your homepage and key pages, identifies your category and market, and extracts your key capabilities and unique selling point. You review the drafted category, target market, core problem solved, USP and seed keywords before continuing.

From invisibility to category dominance across every major answer engine.

Measured as a real channel

“Before WriteWorks, our content landed and disappeared. Now every asset ships citation-ready, gets cited across the engines our buyers ask, and ties back to the loop. It's the first time we've measured AI search as a real channel.”

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Everything teams typically ask before getting started.

What is brand research?+
Brand research is the work of understanding how a brand presents itself, who it serves and who it competes with. It usually covers positioning, audience, competitors and how the brand is perceived, and it is the foundation for messaging and content.
What does WriteWorks research from my domain?+
It reads your homepage and key pages to identify your category and market, extract your capabilities and unique selling point, and build seed keywords. It then suggests competitors based on search overlap. Everything is presented as a draft for you to review and edit.
Is this a brand audit?+
It covers the research half of a brand audit: how your site presents the brand and who you compete with. For the other half, how AI engines actually describe you, WriteWorks AI visibility tracking monitors your brand across 10+ AI platforms using the prompts and competitors set up here.
Can I use it as a company research tool for other businesses?+
Business research in organisation setup works from any domain you enter and drafts a summary of the company's industry, audience, voice, values, products and selling points. It is designed for setting up organisations in WriteWorks, and the output should be checked before you rely on it.
Can I change what the AI drafts?+
Yes. Every field is editable during onboarding and afterwards in the Brand Hub, where the AI field assistant can also help you rewrite any of it.
