Machine Learning-Powered Network Visibility for Small Businesses: Beyond Kentik

Introduction: The Visibility Gap for SMEs

You know that feeling when you Google your brand and… crickets?
Large companies have fancy dashboards tracking traffic, routing, and everything in between. But for small businesses, traditional analytics often stop at web hits. What about how AI chatbots describe your services? Or which networks carry your data fastest in Europe? That’s where Market intelligence comes in.

AI-driven platforms now shape how customers discover products. Without proper visibility, you’re flying blind. You need insights into:

• How AI mentions your brand
• Which providers route your traffic best
• What competitors pop up alongside you

Imagine a world where a single, affordable tool handles this. No giant price tags. No steep learning curve. Just clear, actionable Market intelligence for your network.

What Kentik Offers and Its Limits

Kentik Market Intelligence (KMI) brought machine learning to routing data. It:

• Processes hundreds of millions of BGP announcements daily
• Classifies AS relationships into peering and transit
• Ranks providers by IP space transited per geography
• Sends alerts on new transit customers or ranking shifts

Great, right? But here’s the catch:

1. Pricey for SMEs. Kentik targets big service providers, not solo founders.
2. Complex setup. You need networking expertise. Raw BGP data? Yikes.
3. Fixed scope. Focuses on AS-level routing only. No brand mentions in AI chatbots.

Kentik is solid for enterprises. But small teams? They deserve their own Market intelligence edge.

Enter AI Visibility Tracking for Small Businesses

Cue the project: AI Visibility Tracking for Small Businesses. We took the guts of KMI—machine learning, routing analytics, alerts—and tailored it for non-techies.

Here’s what you get:

• Affordable plans. Monthly billing that won’t break the bank.
• Open-source ethos. Community-driven features. No lock-in.
• AI mention monitoring. Track how chatbots like ChatGPT talk about you.
• Routing insights. See which providers carry your traffic fastest in key regions.

Plus, our Maggie’s AutoBlog platform leverages these insights. It auto-generates SEO and GEO-targeted blog content based on your site and network data. Think of it as your content team in a box.

This isn’t just another analytics tool. It’s Market intelligence reimagined for small businesses.
