Scope of this test
Broad category — crm
Mentioned in 1 of 10 broad crm answers.
Niche category
Not tested this run. Recommended as the next measurement.
We tested the broad category — “crm”— 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 10% 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.

Diagnosis
Why AI assistants are underrepresenting your brand
AI assistants rarely recommend or mention your brand when users ask generic questions about your category.
Appeared in 1 of 10 generated answers (10% recommendation share).
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 9 answers: Salesforce, HubSpot CRM, Zoho CRM.
This report tested broad "crm" 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 "crm" prompts. No niche-specific prompts were run in this report.
