What industries do you specialise in?

We primarily work with healthcare, wellness, and product-based businesses, but also support service brands ready to scale.

How is this different from SEO?

SEO is about ranking in traditional search engines like Google. AI visibility is about being discovered, understood, and recommended by AI-powered systems like ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Perplexity. These systems don't rank pages, they recommend businesses based on brand clarity, content authority, and structured data signals. We focus on what AI systems need to see, which is a fundamentally different discipline.

Do you offer ongoing support?

Yes. Visibility is not a one-time fix — it compounds over time, and the businesses that benefit most are the ones that treat it as an ongoing discipline. Once the foundational work is done, we offer monitoring and advisory support for clients who want to maintain and extend their position.

How do you measure brand mindshare on AI search engines?

Measure brand mindshare on AI search engines by running a fixed set of category prompts across ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Perplexity, then scoring four things: presence (do they name you), accuracy (do they describe you correctly), framing (how do they position you against competitors), and recommendation (do they suggest you as a first choice). Run the same prompts monthly to build a trend line.

What is AI brand mindshare?

AI brand mindshare is the share of AI-generated answers in your category that mention your business, describe it accurately, and recommend it. It is the AI-era equivalent of share of voice, but measured across LLM answers rather than search rankings or media impressions.

How do you interpret AI brand visibility scores?

Interpret AI brand visibility scores across three dimensions. Presence rate under 25% means the AI does not know you exist for that query type. 25 to 60% means you appear inconsistently, usually a signal of weak entity clarity. Above 60% means AI systems can retrieve you reliably, and the next lever is accuracy and framing rather than presence.

How do you benchmark brand visibility across AI search engines?

Benchmark by running identical prompts across ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Perplexity in the same session, logging results in a shared scorecard, and comparing your presence and framing against three named competitors. The gap between platforms often tells you more than any single score. A brand strong in Perplexity but invisible in ChatGPT usually has a citations problem rather than a content problem.

How often should you measure AI brand mindshare?

Monthly is the practical rhythm for most established businesses. LLMs update their knowledge and retrieval behaviour frequently, and monthly measurement is fast enough to catch drops and slow enough to filter out noise. Weekly measurement is only useful during an active fix cycle.

What tools measure AI brand mindshare?

You can measure AI brand mindshare manually with a prompt list and a scorecard, which is what most consultants still do. Paid platforms like Profound, Peec, and Otterly automate the prompt runs and tracking. The methodology matters more than the tool. A well-designed manual scorecard beats an automated tool asking the wrong questions.

How to Measure Brand Mindshare on AI Search Engines (2026)

What "brand mindshare" means in an AI context

Brand mindshare used to be measured through surveys, unaided recall studies, and share-of-voice metrics across paid media. In an AI-driven discovery landscape, the equivalent question is simpler and sharper. When a buyer asks an AI assistant to recommend a business in your category, how often does your name come up, how accurately are you described, and how favourably are you framed against competitors?

That is AI brand mindshare. It is measurable, it is trend-able, and it is the leading indicator most established businesses are not tracking yet.

The four metrics that matter

1. Presence

Does the AI name your business at all? Scored as a percentage of prompts where you appear. Below 25% means the model does not reliably know you exist for that query type.

2. Accuracy

When you are named, is the description correct? Wrong location, wrong service, wrong client type, outdated positioning. Accuracy failures are entity failures.

3. Framing

How does the AI position you relative to competitors? First-mentioned, expert, premium, budget, niche, generalist. Framing is your brand story, filtered through the model.

4. Recommendation

Does the AI recommend you as a first choice, a considered option, or an also-ran? Recommendation strength is the closest AI equivalent to a sales-qualified lead.

The five-step measurement method

Step 1. Build a fixed prompt set

Write 10 to 15 prompts a real buyer would ask. Mix discovery prompts (best X in Australia, top X for Y), comparison prompts (X vs Y), and problem prompts (how do I solve Z). Freeze the set. This is your measurement instrument, and it only works if it stays constant.

Step 2. Run every prompt across four platforms

ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Perplexity. Fresh chat for each prompt to avoid context bleed. Copy the raw answer into a shared document. This is 30 to 45 minutes of work for a typical prompt set.

Step 3. Score four dimensions per answer

Presence, accuracy, framing, recommendation. Use a 0 to 3 scale for each. Log the score against the prompt, platform, and date. A spreadsheet is fine. Fancy tooling is not required.

Step 4. Benchmark against three named competitors

Repeat the scoring for three competitors you would lose deals to. The absolute numbers matter less than the gap. Being present in 80% of ChatGPT answers is meaningless if your top competitor is at 95%.

Step 5. Repeat monthly. Trend the results.

Same prompts, same day of the month. A single measurement is a snapshot. A trend line is a diagnostic. Fixes take four to twelve weeks to show, and you cannot see that without monthly data.

How to interpret AI brand visibility scores

Presence rate under 25%. The model does not reliably know you exist for that query type. The fix is entity clarity and authority pages, not more content volume.

Presence 25 to 60%. You appear inconsistently. Usually a signal that different AI systems are pulling from different sources and getting conflicting descriptions of your business. The fix is entity consistency across your site, directories, and third-party references.

Presence above 60%. AI systems can retrieve you reliably. Presence is no longer the bottleneck. The next lever is framing. How AI describes you relative to competitors becomes the thing that wins or loses the recommendation.

How to benchmark against competitors

The absolute score is less useful than the competitive gap. Pick three competitors you would genuinely lose deals to. Run your prompt set for each of them. Score them on the same four dimensions.

A brand at 60% presence in a category where the leader sits at 90% has a serious gap. A brand at 60% presence in a category where the leader sits at 65% is competitive and should focus on framing and recommendation instead. Same score, very different strategies.
