Benchmark against competitors in AI search

You know a competitor gets recommended more often than you do, but you cannot prove it or quantify the gap. Recommendation Share™ measures how often each named competitor appears against you for the same buying-intent prompts, engine by engine.

How do you benchmark against competitors in AI search?

Recommendation Share™ measures how often each named competitor appears against you for the same buying-intent prompts, engine by engine. The work runs in four steps: name the competitors you actually lose deals to; run identical prompts for every brand in the set; calculate recommendation share™ per engine and per prompt; track the gap over time and attribute movement to specific changes. A share-of-voice number for AI answers, with the specific prompts where you are losing.

The problem

You know a competitor gets recommended more often than you do, but you cannot prove it or quantify the gap.

This is not a reporting inconvenience — it is a measurement gap. AI answers are generated fresh each time and vary between sessions, so anecdotal checks cannot establish a trend and cannot prove whether anything you changed made a difference.

How Geosystems AI handles it

Recommendation Share™ measures how often each named competitor appears against you for the same buying-intent prompts, engine by engine.

  • Name the competitors you actually lose deals to.
  • Run identical prompts for every brand in the set.
  • Calculate Recommendation Share™ per engine and per prompt.
  • Track the gap over time and attribute movement to specific changes.

What good looks like

A share-of-voice number for AI answers, with the specific prompts where you are losing.

The measurement backbone is the same across every use case: GVI™ scores each answer on Presence, Prominence, Attribution, and Accuracy, while Recommendation Share™ places that score against the competitors you name. Both are re-run on a schedule so movement is a trend, not a screenshot.
