For Social-Media Agencies

Keep your scheduler.
This is the
layer above it.

It does not post and it does not replace your tooling — let’s get that out of the way first. What it does is give every account manager nine channels of competitor intelligence and a daily brief, so the Monday call has strategy in it rather than an engagement chart.

That channel-coverage gap is checkable in thirty seconds and slightly annoying, which is exactly why it makes a good Monday-call opener.

01The problem

Your account managers are reporting, not advising.

An engagement chart is not a strategy conversation. The ceiling on clients-per-manager is set by how long it takes to have something worth saying — and right now that research is manual.

02A day in the life
Illustrative scenario

A Monday at a social agency.

The client call that needed more than a chart.

1
Monday · Jo, agency owner

An account manager presents reach, impressions and engagement. The client asks what the competition is doing. Nobody knows, because nobody has time to check nine channels for eight clients.

Chart, not strategyNo competitive view
2
The gap

The stack schedules brilliantly and watches nothing. Competitive research is a manual scroll that gets skipped when the week is busy — which is every week.

Manual scrollSkipped when busy

Wednesday · ScoutRival, day one

Jo scans one client. Three rivals, 47 posts, nine channels, two of which the agency never tracked. The channel-coverage gap is the finding — and it is verifiable in half a minute.

One quarter later

Five client brands on it. Every Monday call opens with what the competition did and one recommended response. Account managers carry more clients because the research stopped being manual.

03How ScoutRival solves it

Four jobs this does — and one it does not.

The last tab is the objection, answered first rather than buried.

Nine-channel competitor watch

Track each client’s rivals across nine channels — website and blog, Facebook, Instagram, X, LinkedIn, YouTube, Reddit, Pinterest, TikTok — plus founder-level LinkedIn. A morning brief per client with the one recommended response.

Prompt Studio + branded graphics

Branded graphics from a 330-design layout library, in each client’s brand, generated in minutes — reducing design dependency for routine content without adding headcount.

AI-Visibility check

A measured score across two engines with a confidence band, per client. Social agencies are further from an answer here than SEO agencies — which makes having one a genuine differentiator.

No — and that is deliberate

It does not schedule and it does not publish to social. Keep Buffer, Later, Sprout or whatever you run. This is the intelligence and strategy layer above the scheduler, not a replacement for it. Long-form articles do publish to WordPress as drafts.

Three ways to add competitive intelligence.

Enterprise listening, manual research, or a seat. Including the two things we don’t do.

Option A

Marketing agency

Enterprise social listening: $500–3,000+/mo
  • Rarely measures AI visibility
  • Competitor watch not in scope
  • Direction on a monthly call
  • Writes content — in 2–4 weeks
  • Manages reviews and posting
  • You own the content — check the contract
Real expertise, real cost. You wait on someone else’s calendar, and the knowledge leaves when they do.
Option B

Four separate tools

~$180–290 / month
  • Tracks AI visibility
  • Listening is enterprise-priced
  • You interpret all of the data
  • Generic content unless you prompt well
  • Four logins, none share context
  • You own everything you make
Cheaper than an agency — but you become the integration layer, and that’s the job you didn’t want.
Built for a business like yours Option C

ScoutRival

One seat · see pricing →
  • Two engines, labelled — re-check any day
  • Nine channels + founder-level tracking
  • A daily brief with one clear action
  • Content in your voice, drafted in ~90 seconds
  • Branded graphics + one-click WordPress
  • Yours forever — export anytime
  • **Does not schedule or publish to social** — keep your existing scheduler
  • **Not a white-label platform** — our branding on reports, no custom domain
The last two are deliberate. We’d rather you knew now than found out in month two — everything else is in one seat.

Stack collision is the objection that kills this deal, so it goes first. You already own a scheduler and we are not asking you to replace it — the overlap is zero and the gap is exactly where competitive intelligence sits. Say it in the first line of any internal pitch or the evaluation dies on a misunderstanding.

09FAQ

Everything owners ask before they start.

Does this replace my scheduler?
No — and that is the first thing to establish. It does not schedule and it does not publish to social. Keep Buffer, Later, Sprout or whatever you run. This is the intelligence layer above it: nine-channel competitor monitoring, a daily brief per client, branded graphics and AI-visibility measurement. Long-form articles do publish to WordPress as drafts.
What exactly do I get on day one?
Five client brands under one login, each with nine-channel competitor monitoring including founder-level LinkedIn, a daily brief, branded graphics from a 330-design library, content in each client’s voice, and an AI-visibility score with a confidence band. Five seats with per-brand access scoping.
Which AI engines do you check, and how?
Two, and we label which is which. ChatGPT runs web-grounded, so it cites live sources and we show you those citations. Gemini runs as a memory probe — what the model already believes about your market, without citations. They’re deliberately different signals, and reading them together tells you more than a single number would.
Is the score something I can trust and act on?
Yes — because we show you the working. You get a weighted 0–100 score with a confidence band, share of voice against the competitors you actually have, and the receipts behind every answer. AI answers shift between runs, so we show the band rather than a false-precision ranking — and you can re-check any day to watch it move.
I already pay an agency. Does this replace them?
It can, and plenty of owners use it that way. But the sharper move is to ask your agency what your AI-visibility score is. If they have an answer, keep them — you have a good agency. If they don’t, you’ve found the gap, and one seat gives you an independent instrument to measure their work every month for a fraction of the retainer.
What does one seat actually include?
AI-visibility tracking across both engines, nine-channel competitor monitoring with founder-level LinkedIn, the daily brief, content generation in your voice, branded graphics from a 330-design library, long-form articles with one-click WordPress publishing, a 31-point site audit, and Google Search Console plus Bing traffic. On Pro and Agency you can connect your own AI key and generate at zero credit cost. [See the full comparison →](/pricing)
How soon will I show up in AI?
Honestly: it compounds, and nobody can promise a date. Publishing the content that answers your buyers’ questions is what earns citations over the following weeks. What you get on day one is the measurement — exactly which prompts you’re missing and the actions most likely to change it. Anyone promising an overnight “#1 in ChatGPT” is guessing.
What if it isn’t right for us?
Start free — no card, and the scan costs nothing. Paid plans carry a 14-day money-back guarantee, you can cancel anytime with no lock-in, and everything you generate exports as HTML, Markdown, PDF or plain text. What you create is yours whether you stay or not. Two things to be clear about: it does not schedule or publish to social, and it is not a white-label platform. Both are deliberate, and both are better said now than discovered in evaluation.
