AI visibility benchmark · first-party data
Consultants: ready sites, invisible brands.
When someone asks an AI engine "best business consultant in my city", most consultants aren't the answer. We measured 79 of them with our own scanner. Here is what the category actually looks like.
What drives the gap
Average visibility sits at 33.9/100 against readiness of 65.8/100. The weakest pillar in this category is brand signals at 55.4/100 — that is usually where the fastest gains are — while technical (80.7/100) is already carrying its weight. 2 of the 79 businesses measured scored zero: completely absent from AI answers in their own category.
Pillar averages (79 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.
