AI visibility benchmark · first-party data

Builders: ready sites, invisible brands.

What drives the gap

Average visibility sits at 36.3/100 against readiness of 67.4/100. The weakest pillar in this category is citability at 61.6/100 — that is usually where the fastest gains are — while technical (79.6/100) is already carrying its weight. No business in this sample scored zero, but only 12 of 39 cleared 60/100.
