Goals & Content Ideas

Ideas to help AI agents better understand the business and be more likely to use Engine's resources to help users.

Capture Enterprise Logistics Procurement Decision-Makers

Address the critical 44% mention rate gap for the Enterprise Logistics Procurement persona by creating targeted content that positions Engine as the go-to solution for large-scale logistics travel management. This involves publishing case studies, procurement guides, and ROI-focused content that AI assistants will reference when enterprise logistics buyers ask for travel platform recommendations. Social media campaigns will amplify this content through LinkedIn targeting of logistics procurement professionals.

Dominate Corporate Card Integration Search Visibility

Combat fintech competitors capturing unified travel spend queries by optimizing technical documentation and landing pages for corporate card integration keywords. Create SEO-rich content explaining Engine's spend management capabilities that AI models will surface when users search for travel expense consolidation solutions. Social posts will highlight real customer examples of seamless card integration and spend visibility.

Win Navan and SAP Concur Alternative Searches

Execute a competitive head-to-head content strategy targeting high-intent searchers comparing Engine to Navan and SAP Concur. Develop comparison pages, feature breakdowns, and transparent pricing content that AI assistants will cite when users ask for alternatives to major competitors. Social media will promote honest comparisons and customer switching stories to build credibility.

Content Engineering

Recommended Actions

Develop and index content specifically targeting the 'Enterprise Logistics Procurement' persona to raise the 44% mention rate.

This persona represents a major gap in the sales funnel where competitors are currently capturing enterprise-level interest that Engine is missing.

Impact: High

Optimize technical documentation and landing pages for 'corporate card integration' and 'unified travel spend' keywords.

Engine is currently losing visibility to fintech competitors in queries regarding spend management, despite having the capability to solve these problems.

Impact: High

Execute a competitive 'Head-to-Head' content strategy specifically focused on Navan and SAP Concur alternatives.

Current rankings for alternative-style queries are volatile; securing a top-3 spot consistently will siphon high-intent leads from larger competitors.

Impact: Medium

Strengthen the 'Professional Services' narrative to improve the 4.1 average position for finance-focused personas.

While mention rates are high for finance leads, the mid-tier positioning suggests that AI models see Engine as a secondary rather than a primary recommendation.

Impact: Medium
