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 REV1 today.

REV1 currently occupies a specialized niche within the AI landscape, achieving a notable 33% mention rate on Claude while remaining entirely invisible to ChatGPT and Google AI Overviews. While legacy giants like SolidWorks dominate general discovery, REV1’s top-tier rankings for specific engineering workflow automation queries demonstrate a high technical relevance that is currently under-leveraged across broader platforms.

Working in your favor

Strong resonance with the Efficiency-Driven Engineering Manager persona, achieving a 33% mention rate.

High-authority positioning on Claude, securing #1 rankings for specific Engineering Workflow Automation queries.

Positive sentiment across all mentions, indicating that when AI models do find REV1, they characterize the brand favorably.

Gaps to close

Total invisibility on ChatGPT and AI Overviews, which are primary entry points for software discovery.

Zero penetration with the Burdened Senior Design Engineer persona, a critical end-user and influencer in the software stack.

Complete absence from 'Design Stack Modernization' and 'Trusted AI Engineering' queries, allowing competitors like SolidWorks and NX to own the innovation narrative.

Opportunities

Mirror the technical documentation success seen in Claude's training data across ChatGPT-accessible repositories to fix the 0% mention rate.

Target the ASME Standards Specialist persona by developing deep-dive technical content on GD&T automation to displace specialized competitors like Sigmetrix.

Claim the 'AI-powered engineering' category by optimizing brand mentions for general discovery queries where REV1 is currently unranked.

Highest-Impact Actions

Execute an aggressive ChatGPT-specific technical content campaign.

With a 0% mention rate on the world’s most used AI platform, REV1 is missing the primary channel for software evaluation. Training data must be updated via high-authority technical whitepapers and PR.

Develop targeted content for the 'Burdened Senior Design Engineer' persona.

Current visibility for this key user is 0%. Creating workflow-specific content that addresses 2D drawing pain points will capture this underserved but influential audience.

Optimized for GD&T and ASME compliance keywords.

Competitors like Sigmetrix are dominating these high-intent queries; REV1 needs to demonstrate its compliance capabilities to win over the ASME Standards Specialist persona.

Value Proposition

REV1 recovers 25% of engineering time by automatically generating fully annotated 2D drawings with correct GD&T based on 300+ pages of ASME rules, turning hours of manual work into minutes.
