Enception, a Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) agency, helps companies boost visibility across AI-powered search experiences (ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, and more) and benchmark their presence against competitors. Their analyses present dense competitive landscapes of how their users are stacking up in the market, but a bottleneck was keeping brand assets correct, current, and consistent.
The Challenge: Entity Sprawl Meets Visual Clarity
Enception faced a significant challenge in managing brand assets across their comprehensive competitive analyses. Each engagement includes a client plus dozens of competitors, making maintaining manual folders and one-off uploads unscalable.
"Too many logos to manage. Each engagement includes a client plus dozens of competitors which made maintaining manual folders and one-off uploads unscalable."
The problems were multifaceted:
- Entity Sprawl: Managing logos for clients and dozens of competitors per engagement
- Broken Links and Outdated Marks: Reports lost polish when images went stale or failed to render
- Manual Maintenance: Time-consuming asset wrangling that detracted from core analysis work
As founder Quanlai Li put it:
"We tried some open-source solutions and even asked AI to generate custom code, but they were unreliable or too time-consuming to maintain. Brand.dev was the only solution that worked out-of-the-box."
The Solution
Brand.dev provided Enception with an API that automated the retrieval of essential brand assets for their competitive analysis platform. This included:
- Automated Logo Retrieval: Fetching high-quality logos for clients and competitors automatically
- Color Palette Integration: Ensuring consistent brand colors across all visual elements
- Reliable Asset Management: Eliminating broken links and outdated brand marks
Implementation: Research Dashboards and Report Generation
Enception wired Brand.dev into their internal dashboards and report generation workflow so every entity renders cleanly, every time.
Research Dashboards
Given a list of domains for clients and competitors, Enception calls Brand.dev to retrieve the right logo and color palette, rendering tables, cards, and charts with consistent visual identifiers.
Making Reports Worth Reading
Users can export benchmark summaries with brand-accurate visuals that help stakeholders grasp comparative insights immediately and derive clearer insights from reports and dashboards.
Results
With Brand.dev, Enception achieved:
- Faster Setup: New workspaces and competitor sets spin up quickly
- Higher Clarity: Stakeholders recognize entities instantly even in dense tables
- Lower Maintenance: No more asset wrangling or broken image links
Why Brand.dev?
The decision to partner with Brand.dev was driven by several key factors:
- Out-of-the-Box Reliability: Unlike open-source solutions, Brand.dev worked immediately without extensive setup

- Consistency: Ensures all brand assets are current and properly formatted
- Time Efficiency: Eliminates manual asset management tasks
