Methodology

How we measure AI brand visibility
01
Query Generation
For each company we generate targeted questions a buyer would ask — simulating real purchase research across AI assistants.
02
Multi-Engine Testing
Questions are submitted to ChatGPT and Perplexity — the two AI systems most used for brand research and vendor discovery.
03
Accuracy Scoring
Responses are evaluated on accuracy, completeness, tone, and representation quality. Scores reflect how well AI describes the brand — 0 to 100.

Low AI visibility means lost deals. When buyers ask AI about your category, competitors show up — you don't. We fix that.
