Know who AI recommends
This is the headline metric: the brands AI models actually recommend when buyers ask. If you are not on these lists, you are invisible in AI search. Benchmark your position, then study what the winners have in common.
Where the numbers come from
We ask multiple LLMs thousands of buyer-intent questions for this industry and record every domain they recommend. Score is a weighted reciprocal-rank sum across models and runs, with each model scaled by its influence weight; count and % are plain tallies.
