NEW RESEARCH - Q2 2026

AI Knows Your Business. It Just Won't Recommend It.

We ran the same six questions on 372 real companies across 5 industries, twice, five months apart. Then we checked who AI actually names when a customer asks "who's the best?"
​
86% of these businesses are known to AI. About 1 in 5 get recommended.
​
It knows you exist and still hands the customer your competitor.

17 pages. 372 companies. 5 industries. The data on what AI visibility actually costs.

The owner is the multiplier. Not the logo. Not the website. Not the SEO.

AI can look up 99% of these owners when you hand it a name. It recommends them as a trusted expert 9% of the time.

The "who should I trust" slot is sitting open.

We scored every business two ways, company visibility and owner visibility, then tested what AI does when a real buyer asks it to pick.

Inside: the five-industry recommendation gap, why your Domain Rating barely predicts whether AI picks you, the handful of sources AI actually trusts in each vertical, and the two-games scorecard (AI's favorite industry is also the one losing the most Google traffic).
