FAQ
AI Recommendability — common questions
Quick answers about what an AI Recommendability Score is, what it measures, and what we do with your data.
- What is an AI Recommendability Score?
- It measures how confidently AI systems — ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI, Claude, Gemini — would recommend your business over the two competitors you name, for the work you do in your market. AI Recommendability is weighted at 20% of your overall Web Presence Score.
- How is this different from SEO?
- SEO scores rankability in traditional search. AI Recommendability scores whether AI confidently describes and recommends your business versus your competitors. SEO fundamentals remain the foundation (60% of the grade); AI Recommendability is the new layer (20%).
- Why two competitors and not five?
- Two is the smallest number that lets us show a clear, side-by-side recommendation. The wizard helps you pick them with AI suggestions, and you can override. If you have a third meaningful competitor you want scored, the count can go up to 3.
- Which AI models do you test?
- Gemini with Google Search grounding is the primary model in every audit, because it grounds answers in live web results. Optional coverage extends to Grok, ChatGPT, and Claude for multi-LLM checks on the full report.
- Can I run it again later?
- Yes. Re-run as often as you like. The free snapshot is unlimited. The $49.99 full report is one-time per audit, but you can run a new audit any time to track improvement.
- Will my data be sold?
- No. Reports are private to your account. We never publish scores. See the privacy policy for full details.
- Will my competitors find out?
- No. The audit runs anonymously. We don't publish results, and we don't notify any third party that you ran it.
- AI changes too fast to score — how is this useful?
- We score durable signals (knowledge coverage, citation presence, competitor separation, reputation) — not transient outputs. Re-running shows you the trend, not a single snapshot that may be obsolete next week.
- Why not just ask ChatGPT myself?
- You can — but you'll get one answer per session, no competitor comparison, no scoring, and no way to track if it changes. We run the same prompts across multiple models, compare them against your two named competitors, and give you a single A-F grade plus a fix list.
- Is this just SEO with extra steps?
- No. SEO scores rankability in search engines. We score recommendability across both search engines and AI. AI Recommendability is its own weighted category, not a rebrand of an SEO score.
