Recommended Actions

Develop and index high-authority technical content specifically targeting 'high-speed address verification' and 'data accuracy for regulated industries'.

Lob was completely unmentioned in this specific query, allowing competitors to claim territory in a high-value, enterprise-ready segment.

Impact: High

Audit and update HIPAA and security compliance documentation to improve Claude's mixed sentiment analysis.

Claude is the primary platform where Lob faces sentiment issues with the Healthcare persona; resolving this is vital for vertical expansion.

Impact: High

Optimize technical case studies for Gemini by utilizing structured data and clear, entities-based descriptions of 'Postal IQ' and routing intelligence.

Gemini is Lob's weakest platform by average position (6.4); better entity-linking will help bridge the gap with its 1.1 performance in AI Overviews.

Impact: Medium

Leverage the 'API-First' dominance by creating 'how-to' guides for FinServ growth marketers that bridge the gap between technical API use and marketing ROI.

While the API-first persona is won, the FinServ persona's visibility (79%) can be elevated by blending technical superiority with performance-driven business outcomes.

Impact: Low
