AI visibility benchmark · first-party data
Beauty & wellness: ready sites, measured brands.
When someone asks an AI engine "best salon near me", most beauty & wellness aren't the answer. We measured 30 of them with our own scanner. Here is what the category actually looks like.
What drives the gap
Average visibility sits at 44/100 against readiness of 74.3/100. The weakest pillar in this category is citability at 64/100 — that is usually where the fastest gains are — while technical (80.7/100) is already carrying its weight. 1 of the 30 businesses measured scored zero: completely absent from AI answers in their own category.
Pillar averages (30 businesses)
Method: latest scan per business from the Are you found by AI? corpus (1,837 businesses measured 2026-06-27 → 2026-07-19). Categories are normalised at scan time; only categories with 12+ businesses are published. Aggregates only — no individual business data is shown.
Where do you sit?
The category average is not your number. A free scan shows whether AI names you, who it names instead, and which pillar is holding you back — in about a minute, no sign-up.
