How often AI is recommending you to buyers today

This signal is helping buyers find and trust you.

You vs peer median
Peer median 62

Why this matters

This is the bottom line: how often are AI assistants actually recommending your business to buyers? When someone asks ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or Bing Copilot for a recommendation in your category, do you appear?

There is no page two of a ChatGPT response. If AI does not recommend you, the buyer never sees you. Not reduced traffic. Nothing. Competitors whose sites are easier for AI to understand are recommended in roughly 60-80 of every 100 buyer queries.

Per-model breakdown

Measured average across 4 live engines: 0/100. Engines we could not measure live are labeled estimated and show the ACRA readiness score instead.

Competitor advantage

Your foundational signals are partially in place. Competitors who close remaining gaps first will cement a citation advantage that compounds over 12–18 months as AI training data solidifies.

What to do next

  1. Fix the signals weighted highest by the model you care about most. If your buyers use ChatGPT, prioritize UCP + ACP. If they use Perplexity, prioritize press + E-E-A-T.
