38/100
Lowlots of room to grow

Kanary has a solid 'expert' reputation that AI agents respect, particularly in technical contexts. However, its visibility in broad category searches lags behind incumbents with larger marketing budgets. You have a massive opportunity to capture the 'unhappy' customers of larger competitors by leaning into your technical superiority.
