AI Reputation intelligence for communications and brand leaders

Your buyers are narrowing the list in AI.

If your organization isn’t in the answer, a competitor is taking your place.

Recognition Lab shows you how AI represents your organization and what communications should do next.

88% of surveyed CMOs and VP-level marketers have already been asked what they’re doing about AI visibility.

The resource decision

Don’t increase the communications budget until you know what should change.

The Benchmark shows where existing resources could be redirected and where stronger public evidence may be needed.

Human judgment

Knowing what AI says only matters if you know what to do about it.

The Recognition Benchmark

The Benchmark shows you where your reputation is helping you compete and where it’s leaving you behind.

01

Where are competitors being named instead?

Competitive analysis shows which organizations appear when yours doesn’t. It also examines the public evidence supporting their position.

02

What does AI currently credit you with?

The answer includes ideas you’ve successfully established. It can also preserve an outdated position your organization no longer wants to own.

03

Which sources are shaping the answer?

The Benchmark identifies the public evidence that repeatedly influences how AI describes your organization. Your team can focus its effort instead of spreading resources across sources that carry little weight.

04

What should communications change?

The research ends with a ranked priority. You leave knowing which decision deserves attention and what doesn’t warrant further investment.

A sample finding

See how the evidence changes what you do next.

Sample business objective

Become a more considered hotel brand for family vacations.

Finding

The hotel is consistently recognized as family-friendly. Its position weakens when travelers ask about hotels that can become part of the vacation experience itself.

Evidence

Independent sources connect competitors with experiences that give families more to do. Most evidence about the hotel’s comparable features comes from its own website.

Interpretation

AI already recognizes the hotel as family-friendly. It doesn’t recognize a reason families should choose it for the vacation itself.

Communications priority

Stop spending resources proving the hotel is family-friendly. Redirect them toward independent evidence that shows what a multi-day family stay looks like.

Ways to work together

Start with a level of research that matches the decision in front of you.

Choose a wider organizational baseline, a focused business question or a smaller directional starting point.
