    How businesses use Aivency to act faster

    Won mandates by staking a clear niche
    "Aivency showed that competing agencies were promoting specialist AI and data services we were doing quietly. We built a dedicated niche page and a short market note that week and won two retained mandates we'd previously have lost to specialists."
    Managing Director
    Recruitment agency
    Result: 2 retained mandates won
    Defended pricing against a subscription competitor
    "The weekly report flagged a competitor pushing subscription hiring. We prepped a one-page comparison and briefed every consultant on it — and the next time it came up in a client call, we kept the mandate on success-fee terms."
    Head of Client Success
    Executive search firm
    Result: Pricing held against new model
    Built authority that opened client doors
    "Aivency surfaced a competitor's salary benchmark gaining traction on LinkedIn. We published our own focused guide for our niche and three target clients reached out within two weeks — conversations we'd been chasing for months."
    Founder
    Talent acquisition boutique
    Result: 3 inbound target-client calls

    Frequently asked questions

    What is the difference between Custom Benchmark and Competitor Monitoring?

    The Custom Benchmark is a one-time strategic snapshot of your business against selected competitors. It includes positioning gaps, market patterns, recommended actions, and a 30-day action plan. Competitor Monitoring is a subscription. Aivency keeps tracking your competitors and sends weekly or daily reports with updated signals, recommended actions, report history, and AI Analyst access.

    Is my first report the same as the Custom Benchmark?

    No. Your first report is part of the Competitor Monitoring trial. It gives you an initial set of competitor signals and recommended actions. The Custom Benchmark is a deeper one-time strategic analysis with a 30-day action plan.

    Can I start with a Custom Benchmark and upgrade later?

    Yes. You can start with a one-time Custom Benchmark and upgrade to Competitor Monitoring later if you want Aivency to keep tracking competitors over time.

    How does the 7-day free trial work?

    Full access to Competitor Monitoring for 7 days. Add competitors, generate your first monitoring report, and use the AI Analyst. A payment method is required at signup; you are not charged until day 7.

    Do I need a credit card to start?

    Yes — a payment method is required to activate the 7-day free trial. You will not be charged during the trial.

    How is Aivency different from ChatGPT?

    ChatGPT analyzes information you provide manually. Aivency works from your website, selected competitors, report history, and detected market signals.

    What is AI Search Radar?

    AI Search Radar helps you understand how AI-generated answers describe your market, which competitors are mentioned, where your brand may be missing, and what content or positioning actions to take next.
