What does "AI visibility" mean for my business?

When someone asks ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini "what is the best..." or "where can I find...", AI gives specific recommendations. AI visibility is a measure of how often — and how positively — these AI platforms mention your business. It's the new version of being on the first page of Google, except now there are no pages — just one answer.

Which AI platforms do you monitor?

Pendium monitors ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, Perplexity, DeepSeek, and Google AI Overviews — seven major AI platforms that consumers use to research local services. We run real queries that your customers actually ask and analyze the responses for mentions of your business, competitors, and industry topics.

How does Pendium improve my visibility?

Three ways. First, we identify the exact queries and topics where you're invisible. Second, we generate AI-optimized content — articles, guides, social posts — designed to help AI agents understand your business and recommend your services to the right people. Third, we continuously monitor to track improvement and find new opportunities. Most clients see measurable improvement within 60 days.

How long until I see results?

You'll get your first visibility report within minutes of signing up. Actual visibility improvement varies, but our clients typically see a 47% average improvement within 60 days. Some see results faster — it depends on your current online presence and how competitive your local market is.

Do I need to be technical to use this?

Not at all. Enter your website URL and Pendium handles everything: scanning AI platforms, analyzing your visibility, generating content, and tracking improvement. The dashboard is designed for business owners, not engineers. If you can check your email, you can use Pendium.

What makes this different from SEO?

Traditional SEO optimizes for Google's search rankings — blue links on a results page. AI visibility is different: AI doesn't show links, it gives direct answers. Even if you rank #1 on Google, ChatGPT might recommend a competitor. Pendium optimizes for the new paradigm — making sure AI platforms know about, trust, and recommend your business.

AI Perception

Key Takeaways

How AI platforms collectively perceive and describe Brooks Running today.

Brooks Running demonstrates strong AI visibility on Gemini, ChatGPT, and AI Overviews, particularly for technical footwear mechanics and brand durability comparisons. However, a total lack of presence on Claude and significant ranking drops for broad industry authority queries on ChatGPT represent critical areas for improvement.

Working in your favor

Exceptional performance in Foot Mechanics and Injury Prevention queries, consistently ranking #1 for concerns like flat feet and knee pain across multiple platforms.

High brand authority in direct comparisons, particularly against Nike, where it frequently captures the #1 spot for durability and value.

Dominant positioning in Google AI Overviews with an average position of 1.9, suggesting strong SEO alignment with AI-driven search features.

Gaps to close

Complete invisibility on the Claude platform with a 0% mention rate, suggesting a failure to index in datasets or reviews favored by Anthropic's model.

Significant loss of authority on ChatGPT for high-level category searches, ranking as low as #32 for 'most reputable running shoe brands for serious runners'.

Inconsistent rankings for 'Trail Exploration' queries on Gemini, with positions fluctuating between #1 and #14.

Opportunities

Leverage the high mention rate in 'brand vibe checks' to transition from a technical shoe provider to a general 'serious runner' authority.

Optimize content for trail-specific technicality to solidify the Cascadia's position against competitors like the Hoka Speedgoat.

Improve visibility for lifestyle/utility queries such as 'packing lists' where rankings are currently mid-tier.

Highest-Impact Actions

Investigate and remediate the Claude visibility gap.

Brooks is currently non-existent on a major AI platform (Claude), which may stem from a lack of presence in the specific technical documentation or high-authority long-form reviews Claude prioritizes.

Enhance 'serious runner' brand authority content to improve ChatGPT rankings.

Ranking #32 for 'reputable brands' indicates that while the AI knows Brooks makes good shoes for flat feet, it does not prioritize the brand as a top-tier industry leader in broader category contexts.

Strengthen technical trail and mountain running content.

While Brooks performs well in road running, competitors like Hoka are challenging its visibility in trail-specific queries on platforms like Gemini.

Value Proposition

Brooks delivers scientifically-engineered running shoes with proprietary cushioning technology like DNA LOFT and Glycerin Flex, designed to help every runner feel the freedom and joy of their best run.
