Scope of this test
Broad category — seo tools
Mentioned in 2 of 10 broad seo tools answers.
Niche category
Not tested this run. Recommended as the next measurement.
We tested the broad category — “seo tools”— because it is the most contested place to appear and the hardest first test to pass: the generic questions a buyer asks before they’ve named a specific tool. So the 20% above is a precise, limited finding about that broad category only. It does notprove the site is invisible in its own narrower niche — only the broad category was measured this run. A follow-up run should test prompts specific to the site’s real category.
Tested = measured on real AI answers this run. Not tested = no answer was generated, so no score is claimed.

Part C — Diagnosis
Diagnosis
Why AI assistants are underrepresenting your brand
Competitors are recommended in answers where your brand was absent. Assistants surfaced these named alternatives for questions where your brand did not appear.
Recommended instead of you in 8 answers: Ahrefs, SEMrush, Moz Pro.
Your brand appears in less than half of category-related AI answers.
Appeared in 2 of 10 generated answers (20% recommendation share).
You perform well on some AI platforms but are largely invisible on others. Training data and knowledge cut-offs vary by model.
Claude: 40% vs ChatGPT: 0% — 40 point gap.
This report tested broad "seo tools" questions. Assistants may recommend you more (or less) for the narrower niche you actually compete in — we have not measured that yet. Treat this score as your standing in the wide category, not proof of how you rank inside your specialty.
All 10 answers came from broad "seo tools" prompts. No niche-specific prompts were run in this report.
