Summary

CivilGrid is currently a 'sleeper' hit for Efficiency-Driven Project Managers, achieving a dominant 64% mention rate with this persona, yet it remains completely invisible to the technical engineers and geospatial specialists who finalize procurement. While the brand secures elite top-3 rankings on Gemini and Claude when triggered, its overall score of 18 is suppressed by a total absence from AI Overviews and poor performance across foundational site due diligence queries.

Value Proposition

Centralizes proprietary utility, environmental, geotechnical, and critical site data into a single collaborative platform, dramatically reducing design time, risk, and costs for pre-construction teams

Overview

CivilGrid is a geospatial data platform that serves as 'Google Maps for Pre-Construction,' helping engineering and construction teams access comprehensive utility, environmental, and geotechnical data in one collaborative platform. The company enables faster project scoping and planning through automated analysis and interactive mapping tools.

Mission

To be where engineering and construction teams go to start every project, providing the most comprehensive pre-construction dataset through geospatial visualization and automated analysis

Recommended Actions

!

Produce technical documentation and case studies focused on Subsurface Utility Engineering (SUE) and GIS data accuracy.

CivilGrid currently has 0% visibility among Engineers and Geospatial Specialists; technical, data-heavy content is required to influence the LLMs serving these personas.

Impact: High
!

Optimize site content for AI Overviews by using structured data and concise, list-based answers for site due diligence workflows.

A 0% mention rate in AI Overviews suggests that current content is not formatted in the authoritative, modular way Google's SGE requires.

Impact: High
~

Increase brand citations on high-authority AEC (Architecture, Engineering, Construction) industry review and news platforms.

ChatGPT's low average position (15.5) indicates a lack of third-party validation compared to dominant players like Procore and Esri.

Impact: Medium
~

Develop comparative landing pages specifically targeting users searching for 'alternatives to Autodesk' or 'pre-construction data tools.'

CivilGrid shows promise in 'ConTech Stack Evaluation' queries on Gemini and Claude; doubling down on these head-to-head comparisons will solidify its position as the top challenger.
