Analysis
Everything in this block is the model's reading of the answers this scan stored — not a measurement and not a fact-check. Every statement carries a verbatim quote from an answer you can open; statements without one were dropped (see Methodology).
Why you lose the slot
For the questions where no engine named you, what the answers said instead — the model's reading of the stored answers, each point tied to a quote you can open.
Notion was named on every question in this scan that any engine answered — there is no lost slot to point at in this sample.
What AI says about you
What the engines state about you when a question names you — paraphrased by the model from the stored answers, never checked against reality. A Verify chip marks a specific claim (a price, date, feature or availability) worth checking yourself.

Methodology
This is a sample, not a census: we ran 12 questions across each engine 3 times and show you the range, so you see both where you stand and how stable that standing is.
- Perplexity Sonar — sonar (best-effort — echoed by the provider, not a dated snapshot)
- ChatGPT (API-grounded proxy) — gpt-5-mini-2025-08-07
- Gemini (grounded) — gemini-3.5-flash
- Grok (live search) — grok-4.5 (best-effort — echoed by the provider, not a dated snapshot)
- Google AI answers (AI Overviews) — collected via DataForSEO SERP API (v0.1.20260717), captured 2026-07-20
Analysis — gpt-5 (gpt-5-2025-08-07), Sep 3, 2026. The model read the stored answers and explained them; it added no facts and verified none. No statements dropped for lacking a verbatim quote.
What the engine labels mean
- API-grounded proxy — consumer ChatGPT and Claude.ai can't be queried programmatically, so we call the same underlying OpenAI/Claude models with web search enabled — the closest measurable proxy.
- Grounded — the model answers with live web search enabled, the same way its consumer product does.
- Pinned — each engine runs one default model for every customer so results stay comparable; a premium model, if you opted into one, is listed on its own line above.
- Best-effort version — Perplexity and Grok echo back the model name we requested instead of resolving one, so their version line records what we asked for, not what answered. ChatGPT, Gemini and Claude each return their own dated snapshot.
Where you stand today
This scan shows a strong, consistent presence across engines and samples.
What to expect next: most brands' AI visibility holds fairly steady between quarters — fewer than 10% of brands shift 30–50% in a single quarter. That's a general benchmark, not a prediction for your brand specifically — the only way to know if yours is moving is to re-scan and compare.
