Competitor-informed battle plan

How PubSport AI becomes the live sport revenue engine — not just another finder app.

Fanzo already has listings, schedules, posters and social scheduling. To win, PubSport AI must own the venue’s traffic, customer capture, fixture ROI and screen operations.

Core insight

FANZO helps fans find a pub. PubSport AI helps the pub own the customer, fill the table, and prove the value.

Competitor map

What’s already out there

We avoid being a cheaper clone by becoming the operating system around sport revenue.

FANZO

Strong fan audience, venue profiles, fixture schedules, posters, social scheduling and pricing from £249/year.

Opportunity: They own the audience; venue ROI, booking conversion, fan CRM and staff screen ops look under-developed.

SportsBars.ai

Fan discovery, table booking, ticketing and team favourites.

Opportunity: Marketplace liquidity is hard; less UK-pub-specific and less venue-owned SEO.

SportSesh

Fixture guide, bar finder, fan events and fan matching.

Opportunity: Community/discovery focus, not a venue revenue operating system.

Shozzle

Broad venue ecosystem: sports fixtures, POS, display ads, listings.

Opportunity: Very broad; opportunity to be the specialist premium live-sport layer.

PromoteMyPub / Inapub

Generic pub marketing, websites, events, social tools.

Opportunity: Not deep enough on fixture + broadcaster + subscription intelligence.

GetTogether

Discovery plus loyalty/stamp cards and direct customer comms.

Opportunity: Good retention idea, but not sports-specific.

The moat

Six ways to make this world-class

Owned AI-search pages

White-label fixture pages on the venue domain with Event/SportsEvent schema, Google Business drafts, and “where to watch” SEO pages.

Fixture-to-cash attribution

Track page views, bookings, darts/table upsells, offers and estimated revenue per fixture — not just profile clicks.

Screen ops command desk

A staff run-sheet for channels, kickoff warnings, screen allocation, sound policy and manager overrides.

Fan CRM without an app first

Let customers follow teams at a specific venue via WhatsApp/email and get reminders when their team is showing.

AI marketing agent

Ask: “what should I push this weekend?” and get posters, social posts, offers, staff brief and booking CTAs.

Local competitor radar

Monitor which venues rank for big fixtures nearby and suggest pages/campaigns to beat them.

Revenue cockpit

Move from “fixtures listed” to “money made”.

Every fixture should show expected footfall, bookings, darts/table upsell, food/drink offer, actual bookings, and post-match learnings.
