What to do next Recommendations for ECM

Generated automatically from gaps and weaknesses in the analysis above, ranked by potential impact on the AI Visibility Score.

Build foundational authoritative coverage

Your LBA is low. The model has limited or no specific beliefs about your brand. Focus on authoritative third-party coverage: Wikipedia, industry-specific publications, founder interviews on podcasts with transcripts, and "best of" list articles.

+10 to +25 on LBA over 12-24 months

Enter the category conversation

Your Authority is low across category queries. Users asking about your category do not see you. Priority: get listed in "best of" and "top N" articles for your category on domains with strong training-data crawl presence.

+10 to +25 on Authority

Identify and shore up oscillating differentiators

Core TOM is strong. Watch for specific differentiators (slogans, signature products) that appear in only some iterations. Push those into training-data-crawled headlines.

Maintain / refine TOM

How is this calculated? Methodology

Every score on this page is reproducible. Below is exactly what we ran and how we computed each number.

Overall AI Visibility Score
Smoothed geometric mean of LBA, Authority and TOM. Authority and TOM are floored at LBA × 0.1 before the geometric mean (the same floor used in the per-metric cards above, so brand cards and the composite tell the same story). Formula: composite = ((LBA + 5)(Authority + 5)(TOM + 5))^(1/3) - 5. The floor keeps brands the model clearly recognises but doesn't yet recommend from collapsing to zero, while a single genuinely weak metric still pulls the composite down. Full methodology.
Latent Brand Association (LBA)
5 brand probes + 1 control prompt, each run 5 times in recall mode (no web search). LBA = quality × meta × stability × share × recognition × 100. Each sub-signal is on a 0-1 scale. Read the full LBA methodology →
LLM Authority
50 organic category prompts (discovery, comparison, problem and transactional intents), each run once in recall mode and once in retrieval mode. Score = frequency × log-decayed prominence × intent weight, then 50/50 averaged across the two modes. Prompts are shared across all brands in the industry. Read the full Authority methodology →
Top of Mind (TOM)
15 high-volume discovery prompts (sourced from Keywords Everywhere search-volume data), each run 5 times in pure recall mode (no web). Score = frequency × (0.5 + 0.5 × log-prominence), volume-weighted. Prompts are shared across all brands in the industry. Read the full TOM methodology →
