News Intelligence

Never miss a story that matters

Shadow scans 200K+ news sources in real time, clusters related stories, profiles the journalists covering them, and evaluates source credibility — so your team always knows what's being said, by whom, and whether it matters.

Story Clustering

Shadow groups related articles into coherent narratives, surfacing the signal beneath the noise. Track how stories develop over time and spot emerging angles before they go mainstream.

Journalist Profiles

Every reporter in Shadow's database comes with a beat map, outlet history, recent coverage, and tone indicators. Know who to pitch before you write a single line.

Source Evaluation

Not all coverage is equal. Shadow scores sources by domain authority, editorial reach, and audience relevance — so you can prioritize placements that actually move the needle.

Keyword Research

Enter a topic or brand and Shadow returns a full keyword landscape — search volume, trend data, related queries, and content gaps your clients can own.

Keyword Difficulty

Shadow scores difficulty against your client's domain authority and existing content, giving you a realistic picture of what's winnable and what's out of reach.

SEO Intelligence

Keyword research built for PR teams

Shadow pulls real search volume, difficulty, and competitive data so your content strategy is grounded in what people are actually searching for — not just what sounds good in a brief.

GEO Audits

Is your client showing up in AI answers?

Generative Engine Optimization is the new frontier of earned media. Shadow audits how your clients appear — or don't — in ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overview, and other AI-generated responses, then surfaces the gaps.

AI Presence Audit

Shadow runs structured queries across major AI engines and documents how (and whether) your client appears in the answers — by topic, by competitor comparison, by category.

Gap Analysis

Once Shadow has the baseline, it identifies which topics and questions your client is missing from — and what content or coverage would help close those gaps.

Share of Voice

Track how much of the category conversation your client owns versus competitors, across news, social, and search — updated weekly.

Narrative Shifts

Shadow alerts you when a competitor's positioning changes, when a new story frame emerges, or when a narrative your client owns starts drifting toward a rival.

Competitive Monitoring

Watch the competition so your clients don't have to

Shadow tracks competitor coverage, share of voice, and narrative positioning continuously — and surfaces the changes that matter before your clients notice them.
