Set up your client project: competitor watchlist, category queries, brand positioning, and past audits
A Juma Project is a shared space where the team stores everything Juma needs to know about a client's positioning work. Create one project per client, add context as the program develops, and Juma uses what's relevant every time the team runs a flow. The more the team adds, the sharper every audit and content plan gets.
What to add
Competitor Watchlist
The two or three competitors the brand most wants to displace in AI answers, each with a URL and a one-line positioning note. Juma uses this list to scope every audit against the brands that actually matter, so the "who do we compare against?" conversation disappears.
Category Query List
The 15 to 20 questions the audience asks ChatGPT, Perplexity, or Google AI Overviews in the brand's category. These anchor the audit to real buyer queries, so the narrative analysis reflects how people actually research, not a generic brand lookup.
Brand Positioning Note
Where the brand genuinely wins: the proof points, the differentiators, the topics it can defend. Juma uses this to make sure every counter-content angle sits on a real strength, not just a competitor weakness the brand can't actually claim.
Previous Audit Snapshots
Past positioning audits saved as reference. Juma compares new findings against earlier ones to surface shifts: a competitor patching a weak spot, a new review cycle changing the story, or a topic opening up that was locked before.
Guide Juma with project info
Add a short description to each knowledge item in the project's info field so Juma knows what each file contains and when to use it. For example:
- Competitor Watchlist: "The 2-3 competitors we track in AI answers. Always scope positioning audits to this list."
- Category Query List: "15-20 buyer queries in our category. Use to anchor every narrative audit."
- Brand Positioning Note: "Where we genuinely win. Every counter-content angle must sit on one of these strengths."
- Previous Audit Snapshots: "Past positioning audits. Compare new findings against these to spot what's changed."

Frequently Asked Questions
How is a competitor content positioning audit different from a GEO audit?
A competitor content positioning audit is the offensive move: it analyzes how AI engines describe a competitor, finds where that narrative is weak, and plans content to take the topic. A GEO audit is the defensive move: it scores a specific page against the structural patterns AI engines reward and tells the team what to fix. One studies the competitor's story; the other improves the brand's own page.
Most teams use them together. The positioning audit decides which topics are worth owning by showing where a competitor is beatable. The GEO audit then makes sure the pages built around those topics are structured to actually get cited. Run the positioning audit to choose the fight; run the GEO audit to win it on the page.
What does the audit actually analyze?
The audit looks at how ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews describe a competitor in a given category: the recurring claims that get the competitor recommended, the strengths the engines repeat, the weaknesses and complaints that show up in reviews and threads, and the third-party sources shaping the whole story. It then maps where the narrative is soft and pairs each gap with a content angle.
The depth of the read depends on how much context the brief includes. Naming the category and the brand being defended produces sharper, more usable angles than a bare brand name, because Juma can weigh each gap against where the brand can credibly win. Pointing at specific engines narrows the analysis to the answers the audience actually sees.
How much time does this save compared to doing it manually?
Done by hand, this is most of an analyst day: querying several AI engines, reading through reviews and community threads, noting recurring claims and complaints, and writing it all up into something a content team can act on. Juma does the same research pass in one chat and returns a structured gap analysis with content angles attached.
The time saving compounds inside a Juma Project, where each audit builds on the last and the team can rerun it as the competitive narrative shifts. The judgment stays where it belongs: Juma surfaces the gaps and proposes the angles, and the team decides which fights are worth picking. Strategy, taste, and judgment stay human.
Are the counter-content angles ready to publish?
The angles are a plan, not finished pages. The audit gives the team the topics worth owning, a suggested format for each, and the positioning angle that puts the brand on the right side of the gap. That plan is the starting point for briefs and drafts, which the team can write in the same Juma chat as a next step.
Keeping the audit as a plan is deliberate. Which angles to pursue is a strategic call that depends on the brand's roadmap, resourcing, and risk appetite, so Juma proposes and the team chooses. Once the topics are picked, turning them into drafts is a short handoff, not a fresh project.
Does this Flow work for B2B SaaS, ecommerce, and agency brands?
Yes. The method is the same across categories because AI engines build competitor narratives the same way everywhere: from recurring claims, reviews, and third-party sources. What changes is which sources carry weight. A B2B SaaS audit leans on G2 and Reddit, an ecommerce audit on marketplace reviews and roundups, an agency audit on Clutch and trade publications.
Juma asks for the category early so the analysis reflects how that audience actually researches. The narrative breakdown and the gap-to-angle logic stay the same; the sources and the buyer queries are category-specific. For agencies, the audit runs per client against each client's own competitive set.
