The Visibility Gap
Funded, capable — and barely cited by AI
These brands are cited by two engines or fewer for their own category. At the moment a buyer asks an AI assistant, they are effectively unseen — regardless of product quality.
| Brand | Category | Coverage | Score |
|---|---|---|---|
| Power Digital | GEO & AI visibility agencies | | 23 |
| SugarCRM | CRM & sales | | 24 |
| Twilio Segment | Data & analytics | | 24 |
