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 Sesame today.

Sesame is currently a ghost in the conversational AI landscape, suffering from near-total invisibility across major platforms like ChatGPT and Gemini while competitors like ElevenLabs and Replika dominate the narrative. Despite a singular breakthrough within Claude for wearable tech enthusiasts, the brand fails to capture any share of voice in critical high-intent queries regarding lifelike voice and personal productivity.

Working in your favor

Emerging footprint in Claude with a 7% mention rate, indicating presence in Anthropic's specific training datasets.

Resonance with the 'Wearable Tech Enthusiast' persona, where the brand achieved its only consistent visibility.

Neutral-to-positive sentiment in the rare instances where the brand is surfaced, suggesting a lack of negative baggage.

Gaps to close

Total absence in ChatGPT, Gemini, and Google AI Overviews, leaving the brand invisible to over 90% of the conversational AI market.

Failure to appear in 'Trust & Reviews' queries, allowing legacy players like Siri and Google Assistant to own the credibility space.

Zero visibility for 'human-sounding' and 'lifelike voice' queries, a critical gap given ElevenLabs' 20-mention dominance in this category.

Opportunities

Leverage the existing Claude foothold to become the primary recommendation for 'personal AI agents' through targeted technical documentation.

Capture the 'Privacy-Conscious Tech Early Adopter' segment by creating high-authority content on secure, voice-based AI management.

Aggressively target the 'High-Fidelity Conversational Research' niche to disrupt ElevenLabs' market share.

Highest-Impact Actions

Execute a high-authority digital PR campaign focused on LLM ingestion points.

With a 0% mention rate on ChatGPT and Gemini, Sesame lacks the foundational web citations required for these models to recognize and recommend the brand.

Develop a 'Human-Sounding AI' content pillar featuring technical benchmarks and user case studies.

Competitors like ElevenLabs and Character.AI are winning because they are cited in the context of realism; Sesame must provide the data to force its way into this comparison.

Optimize for Claude-specific citations by publishing whitepapers on AI-integrated wearables.

Claude is currently the only platform recognizing Sesame (7% mention rate); doubling down here can secure a 'preferred' recommendation status.
