Competitor Positioning Analysis
Map exactly how your competitors position themselves and find the gaps you can own.
The Prompt
I want to conduct a competitor positioning analysis to understand how my competitors are positioned and identify gaps I can own. Start by asking me: 1. What is my business and what do I sell? (One paragraph description) 2. Who are my top 3–5 direct competitors? List their names and websites. 3. Who is my ideal customer — specifically? (Industry, role, company size, biggest pain point) 4. What do I currently believe is my key differentiator? (Be honest — even if you are not sure) After I answer, conduct the following analysis using your knowledge of the companies I name, supplemented by what I tell you: **Positioning Map:** Create a table comparing each competitor across these dimensions: - Primary audience (who they target) - Core promise (what they claim to deliver) - Tone and voice (how they communicate) - Price positioning (premium, mid-market, budget, or unclear) - Key differentiator claim - What they notably do NOT talk about **Gap Analysis:** Based on the map, identify: - Positioning territories that are crowded (multiple competitors saying the same thing) - Positioning territories that are empty or underserved - The one claim that nobody in the market is making that I could credibly own **My Positioning Recommendation:** Based on my business description and the gap analysis, suggest: - A positioning statement for my business (one sentence) - The audience segment I am best placed to win - The one thing I should stop saying because everyone else is already saying it - The one thing I should start saying that nobody else is Be direct. If my current differentiator is weak or generic, tell me. ---
