FAQ

What is a good AI visibility score in 2026?Above 65 puts you in the top tier — AI can read you, resolve you as an entity, and quote you. Under 40 usually means something mechanical is broken: AI crawlers blocked in robots.txt, no Organization schema, or no quotable answer-style content. Industry benchmarks vary; consumer-facing software brands we scanned averaged 51/100.

Why do big brands score badly?Because the blockers are technical, not strategic. Several billion-dollar companies in our index quietly block GPTBot and ClaudeBot at the robots.txt level, so the models physically cannot read them. It has nothing to do with product quality.
