Summary

Arcol faces a stark visibility paradox where it commands perfect authority in brand-direct queries but vanishes entirely during the critical discovery phase for collaborative design. While Gemini recognizes Arcol as a top-tier contender for early-stage 3D massing, the brand's total absence from AI Overviews and the Real Estate Developer persona represents a massive strategic blind spot.

Value Proposition

Real-time collaborative design platform that syncs 3D models, metrics, and documentation so AEC teams can iterate faster, make data-driven decisions, and present work confidently without switching between disconnected tools
