Where this brand sits in its industry
How it works
The questions shoppers ask. Every week. Every platform.
1. We ask what shoppers ask
150 questions per industry, drawn from real search and AI query data, not questions a brand would write about itself.
2. We ask every week, on every platform.
ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google's AI Overviews. Weekly scans, accumulated across a rolling scan window. Hundreds of answers per industry.
3. We record who gets named.
Every brand mention, its position in the answer, and which platform said it. The Visibility Score is the share of answers a brand appears in. Nothing weighted, nothing modelled.
