The Brand Object

Positioning, audience and competitors

What brand context APIs say about who a company sells to, what it sells, and who it competes with, from Brandfetch's products to one word from Firecrawl.

Positioning is where the Brandfetch Brand Context API is different from the others. It was the only response with the audiences of Linear, its products with prices, and its competitors. Firecrawl gives one word for the audience. The other endpoints return company records, for example industry and headcount, and these records are not positioning.

Does a model need the competitors?

Not in the prompt for most customer-facing work. A competitor list is useful for research, sales, and comparison pages. In a prompt for an ad or a landing page, the list invites the model to name the competitors. Pass the list only to tasks that need it.

Prices go out of date first

The Brandfetch products_and_services items carry prices from the pricing page of the company. The Brandfetch docs say that a value is null when the site does not state it. Prices change more often than other data in a brand profile. The response read on 16 October was 26 days old on 11 November. In generated copy, link to the pricing page. Do not quote the number.

Company records are not positioning

Headcount, founding year, and industry codes help you sort leads or fill in company records. For example, they help you pick a template for a software company. They give a model nothing to say. Keep them out of the prompt, except when the task is about the company itself.
