The Challenge

Starting position

  • 14.9% win rate competing against household names — 1Password, Dashlane, and DeleteMe dominated AI recommendations
  • 0.7% mention rate meant the platform was almost entirely absent from AI-generated privacy tool recommendations
  • All-in-one approach (data removal + identity protection + spam blocking) was not reflected in any AI comparison
  • 12 tracked competitors with established brand recognition made AI visibility a steep climb for a challenger brand

The Approach

What Rex did

  • Built 55 content pieces targeting specific privacy concerns consumers bring to AI assistants
  • Focused on family plan comparisons, DIY vs automated data removal cost analyses, data broker coverage audits, and spam call blocking benchmarks
  • Structured each piece as a practical decision guide — the format AI models prefer when helping consumers evaluate privacy tools
  • Highlighted the all-in-one value proposition as a clear differentiator against single-feature competitors
