Abstract
Embodiments of the disclosure provide for a knowledge search engine platform to analyze a search query initiated by a user device to identify a natural language inquiry associated with questions about a particular business, (e.g., product brand data such as products, services, employees, events, etc.). This may include searching through large amounts of data for hidden patterns and relationships of events, and presenting this knowledge data in a readily understandable format for users. The knowledge data is then presented in a structured form that is easily digestible to allow users via the user device to find the information they are looking to retrieve. The knowledge data may also include competitor intelligence that allows users to identify competitors, by searching a local pack to return results of potential competitors. The local pack may be within proximity of an indication of location of where the user is searching using with user device.
