Perception shapes brand identity, informs strategic decisions and drives customer engagement. Understanding how a brand is perceived vs. competitors uncovers competitive advantages and surfaces opportunities for improvement. This module breaks down brand perception into clusters of strengths and weaknesses, giving you a clearer view of market sentiment.

Why category perception matters

LLMs offer an unbiased, data-driven view of brands by surfacing their strengths and weaknesses. Comparing brands within a category exposes the perceived attributes that define each brand’s market presence. For example, identifying a strength like customer satisfaction enables you to leverage it in messaging and campaigns. Recognising a weakness like high pricing provides actionable insight to refine offerings and improve experiences.

Perceived Pros & Cons by cluster

The Key Perceived Strengths chart highlights the main advantages associated with each brand as perceived by LLMs. Strengths are grouped into clusters, making it easy to spot patterns where your brand excels or falls short.Use it to:
  • leverage perceived strengths in marketing,
  • pinpoint areas for improvement,
  • refine offerings for competitive positioning.

A treemap of perceived strengths. Each node is a cluster of advantages extracted from LLM responses; the node size reflects prominence.A larger node under customer satisfaction for your brand shows it is frequently recognised as a strength. A competitor may have a large node in innovation, indicating their perceived edge in that area.
