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 Checkmate today.

Checkmate commands a powerful, authoritative presence in specific high-intent AI search results, securing a top-tier position in AI Overviews despite an otherwise fragmented footprint. While the brand is effectively capturing users seeking drive-thru and order centralization solutions, it is missing critical opportunities to influence enterprise-level decision-makers evaluating broader restaurant technology ecosystems.

Working in your favor

Securing the #1 position in AI Overviews for drive-thru efficiency queries

Strong performance in Gemini search results for operational automation, particularly for order centralization

Successful capture of the Financial Strategy Leader persona for relevant technical inquiries

Gaps to close

Total absence in authoritative lists evaluating enterprise restaurant technology providers

Under-representation in queries related to scaling digital business and overall revenue growth

Minimal visibility among Enterprise IT Architects compared to core industry competitors

Opportunities

Capitalizing on AI Overviews by expanding content depth around multi-platform order integration

Leveraging high-rank performance in Gemini to bridge the gap into broader restaurant technology evaluation queries

Targeting the Growth-Focused Operations Manager persona through specialized case studies on revenue impact

Highest-Impact Actions

Develop and syndicate authoritative 'Enterprise Restaurant Tech Provider' content assets

Competitors like Toast and Olo are currently dominating these high-value evaluation queries, leaving Checkmate invisible to decision-makers searching for industry leaders.

Optimize technical documentation for LLM indexing regarding revenue growth and scalability

There is a significant gap in queries related to increasing restaurant revenue; improving the visibility of Checkmate’s ROI-driven outcomes will capture this high-intent traffic.

Create persona-specific landing pages for the Enterprise IT Architect

The current mention rate for IT Architects is only 7%; creating content that addresses technical integration and centralization reliability will improve trust and visibility with this persona.
