Executive summary
Qualys is highly likely to be cited for evaluation-stage prompts like “What is the best vulnerability management software?” because it has strong G2 presence (167 reviews, 4.4★) and first-party comparison content (e.g., Qualys vs Tenable, and multiple “switch-now” competitor pages). The single highest-ROI fix is to expand/standardize first-party comparison pages specifically for the exact competitor set in your prompts (Microsoft Defender for Cloud, Wiz, CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security, Tenable, Rapid7) and ensure each page is crawlable/SSR with evaluation-focused answer blocks—this unlocks “How does Qualys compare to Microsoft Defender for Cloud?” and “How does Qualys compare to Wiz?” reliably.
