Simplify's Take

What believers are saying

  • Zero-click search dominance since June 2026 makes AI agents Scrunch's primary customer and revenue source.
  • Multi-platform AI model race requires brands to adopt Scrunch's GEO tools to avoid single-platform liability.

What critics are saying

  • Sitecore's $225M acquisition in June 2026 integrates Scrunch tech into DXP, culling standalone SaaS independence by Q3 2026.
  • Fortune 500 clients bypass Scrunch subscriptions via bundled Sitecore AXP, eroding $26M revenue base by Q4 2026.

New in Scrunch: find and fix your AI blind spots with Content Gaps.

New in Scrunch: find and fix your AI blind spots with Content Gaps. Last updated: 03.18.2026 * Content Gaps auto-detects when your website is missing content for tracked prompts. * Get detailed analysis on your content opportunities - no manual digging required. * Fix what matters most based on topic, persona, and urgency. If AI can't find relevant content on your site, it retrieves it from another source. Scrunch LLC is launching Content Gaps - the latest in its series of automated insights - to help you find those blind spots before your competitors do. Starting today, Scrunch customers can use Content Gaps to: * Auto-detect missing content for the prompts that matter most. * Drill into any gap to understand the full scope of the opportunity. * Prioritize next steps based on topic, persona, and greenfield opportunities. The brands winning AI search aren't necessarily the ones with the most content - they're the ones that know what matters to their audience, what's missing, and do something about it. Go from gap to action plan in seconds. Too many teams find content gaps by accident - or not at all. This results in a scattershot approach to AI visibility optimization, patching holes on the fly with little-to-no prioritization. You can manually cross-reference prompt and citation data to figure out where to start. Or you can let Scrunch do it for you. Its analysis detects when you're missing content for the prompts you care about and flags it automatically - no data deep dives required. When you log in to Scrunch, you'll see Content Gaps surfaced right on your Home screen. Click the "Take action" button and Scrunch LLC'll show you a list of opportunities to improve visibility in AI responses, filterable by topic or persona. Every listing is earmarked as Red (no content found), Yellow (limited content found), or Green (sufficient content found), along with a count of at-risk prompts. Scrunch's analysis updates as new content is detected on your site, automatically removing listings from Content Gaps as they're addressed. Drill down into any listing and click "Review" to see: * The number of associated prompts (and links to each one in your Prompts Monitoring tab) * The number of pages on your site that match these prompts * The exact URLs for matching pages from most cited to least cited and how many prompts they match You can prioritize content updates and net new content creation - or dismiss the suggestion if it's not relevant or already covered. Scrunch does the detective work - you decide what's worth acting on. Scrunch's Optimizer and AXP features make it easy to maximize the impact of your content by auto-generating a targeted version of webpages designed for specific prompts and personas, then serving it in an optimized, token-light format directly to AI agents without changing what human visitors see on your site. From here you can use Scrunch to monitor AI search performance over time - brand presence, share of voice, citations, AI bot traffic, AI referrals, and more - as content gaps move from critical to healthy. Create the content AI is looking for. When buyers ask, AI answers. The question is: Does your content show up in the response? The old way: Random acts of content creation or manual data wrangling. The new way: Get notified when your content is MIA for tracked prompts and get to work immediately. Scrunch LLC don't think teams should have to dig for opportunities. So Scrunch LLC built Scrunch to surface them. Content Gaps is now live for all Scrunch customers. Log in to see why you may not be showing up where you should be. Close your content gaps with Scrunch. Know exactly what to create to improve AI visibility. Start a 7-day free trial or get in touch to see how Content Gaps can help you stay a step ahead in AI search.

New in Scrunch: Auto-detect competitive brands in AI search with Suggested Competitors

New in Scrunch: auto-detect competitive brands in AI search with Suggested Competitors. Your AI search competition isn't just the brands you know about - it's any brand that LLMs mention instead of you, including the ones you've never heard of. Scrunch LLC is launching Suggested Competitors to eliminate those blind spots. Here's how it works: Scrunch LLC'll automatically analyze prompt responses and AI search trend data to identify the brands competing for the prompts you care about. Scrunch LLC'll flag these competitors in your Scrunch Dashboard for quick review. You can add new competitors to your watchlist (and let Scrunch LLC backfill historical prompt data related to each competitor) or say no thanks. This way every customer can keep a pulse on their competitive landscape - and new customers can quickly get up to speed on who they're competing with in AI search. * Benchmark AI visibility against a complete competitive set * Understand if and why LLMs are choosing competitors * Identify the strategy gaps that are letting them in * Make adjustments to improve performance This is only the first in a series of new (and fully automated) insights Scrunch LLC'll be launching for all Scrunch customers in the weeks ahead. Discover and track new competitors in 2 clicks. Scrunch LLC use natural language processing on real AI-powered conversations to see which brands consistently appear in your orbit and apply evidenced-weighted consensus modeling to separate real signals from noise. The result? A high-confidence, data-backed map of your true competitors (and emerging challengers) in AI search. When you log in to Scrunch, you'll see Suggested Competitors under Insights & Action Items at the top of your Dashboard. Simply click the item to see a list of brands you may want to track in Scrunch, including high-level descriptions and all known aliases. You can review and either add brands to your competitor list or dismiss the suggestion (Scrunch LLC'll continue to monitor and suggest new competitors over time as more prompts and responses are added and collected). If you do the former, Scrunch LLC'll backfill each competitor's brand presence for your prompt data to give you a historical view. Bonus: This works for all new competitor additions, not just Suggested Competitors. Any time you add a new competitor to Scrunch, Scrunch LLC'll automatically calculate their presence across historical prompt data (the lookback window is as far back as you have prompt data). This includes competitor presence across AI search trends. Using Scrunch's AI Search Trends feature, you can compare how often your brand appears versus your competitors across prompts for industry-relevant topics, aggregated across all selected LLMs. * Benchmark your performance: See how your brand presence and site citations compare to competitors across industry topics. Are you gaining or losing ground? * Spot optimization opportunities: Look beyond mention rates to understand the "why." Are competitors winning on certain topics because of technical depth? Fresh data? Better structure? Understanding their content strengths helps you identify where to match them - and where to differentiate. * Validate content investments: Use competitive data to pressure-test your content roadmap. If you're planning to invest heavily in a topic where multiple competitors already dominate, you'll see it in the data - and can decide whether to compete head-on or find a different angle. * Find your white space: Identify prompts where no one in your competitive set appears consistently. These represent untapped opportunities - topics where you could establish early authority in AI search before competitors catch on. Track competitors smarter, not harder. Traditional competitive tracking usually assumes that you know who your competitors are. But emerging players appear overnight, category boundaries blur, and LLMs sometimes make surprising connections. It's not uncommon for brands to start monitoring AI search and see unfamiliar names consistently pop up alongside theirs in prompt responses. That's the gap Suggested Competitors fills - it shows you the complete picture of who's competing for your customers' attention in AI, not just the brands you're already watching. Instead of waiting to discover a new competitive challenge, Scrunch LLC'll surface it for you proactively. Its goal isn't to add more names to a list. It's to help you keep tabs on the competitive landscape your brand operates in - and extract the competitive insights you need to win. Because the brands winning AI search aren't just the ones with the best product - they're the ones who understand the competitive landscape and adjust their strategy accordingly. Suggested Competitors is now live for all Scrunch customers. Log in to see if Scrunch LLC has identified any competitive blind spots for your brand. And keep an eye out for lots more automated (and actionable) insights heading your way, including Suggested Prompts, Negative Sentiment Trends, and more. See your AI search competition with Scrunch. Start spotting Suggested Competitors. Start a 7-day free trial or get in touch to see how you can maintain your competitive edge in AI search.

Introducing AI Search Trends

Introducing AI Search Trends. TLDR: Scrunch LLC just launched AI Search Trends in Scrunch to bring you the clearest view yet of what people are asking LLMs and how your brand shows up. Here's what Scrunch LLC launched, how it works, and why you should take the insights as guidance, not gospel. If you're reading this, odds are you're familiar with the search volume metrics you can find in pretty much every SEO tool. There's NDAs in place that prevent anyone from sharing exactly where these numbers come from, but a lot of it is based on panel data (i.e., datasets built on information collected from a pool of the same people multiple times over a given time period). Your SEO tool can't guarantee that 50,000 people are actually Googling the word "cheeseburger" every month, but, by using panel data, it can extrapolate and estimate. This data is directionally helpful (depending on the panel sources), but shouldn't be used for much more than that - as in, Scrunch LLC wouldn't suggest forecasting revenue from it. Same goes for the data Scrunch LLC is surfacing with AI Search Trends: It's a helpful proxy, not an unimpeachable source of truth. And any vendor who would tell you otherwise is operating on good vibes and selective memory. Every marketing, SEO, growth, and content team is clamoring for the same insights, just now for AI search versus traditional search. They want to know what their ideal customers are asking about, how often, and whether their brands show up in the answers. Scrunch LLC built AI Search Trends - now generally available for all customers (including those who start a 7-day free trial) - to help you do just that. See what people are asking AI about (and how you stack up). Starting today, Scrunch users will see AI Search Trends in the left sidebar of its platform. Here's how it works. Topic selection: Start by searching and select the topics that are relevant to your business (or let Scrunch LLC do it for you by choosing from its suggested topics which will show when you don't have any selected to start). Topic trends & volume: After selecting topics, Scrunch LLC show you the estimated prompt volume related to each topic added to your watchlist over your selected timeframe. Scrunch LLC'll also surface how topic volume is trending over time as a percentage and as a week-by-week visualization. Brand presence: Scrunch LLC show you the percentage of AI responses that mention your brand for a certain topic. This information - how popular a topic is, how your brand shows up for it - can then be used as a proxy for where to focus your efforts. No matter your industry, it pays to know when potential customers are asking AI about a business-relevant topic. More to the point, it pays to know how often your brand is mentioned or cited when they do. Now you can with just a couple of clicks in Scrunch. Here's an example of how some of its beta users have been tracking topics with AI Search Trends mapped to industry and personas in Scrunch: Air Travel Target Audience: Affluent Travelers Topic tracked with AI Search Trends: Airport Lounge Access Services Digital Streaming Target Audience: Exhausted Parents Topic tracked with AI Search Trends: Children's Cartoon Entertainment Financial Services Target Audience: First Time Homebuyer Topic tracked with AI Search Trends: Mortgage Lending Services Scrunch LLC has worked to eliminate any analysis paralysis. Scrunch will automatically recommend topics by mapping what Scrunch LLC can infer about your brand (using AI) and tying that to NAICS industry classifications. And, Scrunch LLC is just getting started: Today's release is only V1 of what Scrunch LLC has planned for AI Search Trends. Fast follows include competitor presence tracking, sentiment analysis, and self-service for new topic requests (and Scrunch LLC ship fast, so expect them this month!). Behind the scenes: how Scrunch LLC calculate AI search volume. AI platform operators are the only ones with a complete view of activity on their platforms. Everyone else - including Scrunch LLC - relies on panel data to estimate AI search volume. That's just how the industry works, at least for now. It's one of the reasons Scrunch LLC kept its analysis at the topic level to start. There's simply not enough trustable data to make sure anything deeper than that is accurate. Scrunch LLC acquired end-to-end AI search interaction data from high-quality, privacy-compliant, third-party providers. This includes millions of real, complete, consumer-to-AI interactions every month across platforms like ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Mode. Scrunch LLC only use data where Scrunch LLC has high confidence in both the integrity and typicality of the population captured and the completeness of the interaction data. Every panelist is verified and explicitly consents to data collection (coverage includes the US and UK, with additional global markets coming online). Typical tracking systems get swamped by long-tail noise: A handful of topics dominate while most barely register. Scrunch LLC avoided this by curating 1,500-plus high-signal topics at a consistent granularity, which means cleaner visibility and more confident action. Scrunch LLC started with a dataset of more than 300 million events (including AI prompts, responses, and pageviews in panel), anonymized the data to remove personally identifiable information, and mapped prompts to a collection of curated topics. Next Scrunch LLC time-bucketed the data for stability, benchmarked coverage against external AI-use totals, then de-biased weighted it to improve representativeness. Finally Scrunch LLC applied proprietary models to extrapolate population-level estimates, accounting for demographics and consumer-interest signals. In plain English: Scrunch LLC is confident that Scrunch LLC is producing the best possible interpretation of AI search trends for its customers. This is what honest AI search data looks like. To be blunt, there's a lot of bogus data out there. Datasets built entirely on ChatGPT wrapper usage. Raw panel data with zero statistical methodology applied. "Precise volume estimates" at impossible levels of granularity. Scrunch LLC believe the data Scrunch LLC is providing is quite valuable in helping brands decide where to focus their time and resources when it comes to AI search. At the same time, Scrunch LLC care about its customers consuming this data intelligently. AI search trend data is more compass than GPS. Scrunch LLC think it's important to be upfront about that. Because at the end of the day, that context helps its customers make smarter decisions about AI search. And that's what Scrunch LLC care about most. Now it's your turn to dig into the data and put it to work. The AI search landscape is evolving fast. Scrunch LLC designed AI Search Trends to help you stay a step ahead. Get started with Scrunch.
