What is AI visibility?

AI visibility measures how often AI assistants like ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, and Gemini recommend your brand when buyers ask buying questions. Unlike a traditional search position, this measurement records whether your brand is included in the answers observed during a disclosed testing period.

How does Envoyra measure AI visibility?

Envoyra asks ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, and Gemini the questions real buyers ask, and records how often a brand appears in the responses. The result is a recommendation-presence measurement: how many prompt runs included the brand, alongside which competitors appeared instead and which sources the engines cited.

How is AI recommendation visibility different from SEO?

SEO tracks search visibility and positions. AI recommendation visibility measures whether AI systems include your brand in observed answers to buyer questions. Search visibility does not by itself establish how often a brand will appear in AI-generated recommendations.

Which AI engines does Envoyra scan?

Envoyra analyzes four AI engines: ChatGPT (OpenAI), Claude (Anthropic), Gemini (Google), and Perplexity. The AI Presence Audit asks ChatGPT, Claude, and Perplexity; the AI Recommendation Monitor asks all four every week; the free scan asks Perplexity only. Each engine has different retrieval patterns, citation sources, and recommendation behavior. A brand can be visible on Perplexity and invisible on Claude. Envoyra shows you where you stand on each engine separately.

Do all brands appear in AI recommendations?

No. Recommendation presence (how often AI names a brand) varies by question, AI assistant, and date. A brand can rank well in search and still not be named in AI answers.

How much does Envoyra cost?

The AI Presence Audit is $49.99 one-time: a full scan across AI assistants showing how often they name you, competitor analysis, and citation mapping. Monitor is $99/month for weekly tracking, competitor displacement, and visibility trends.

Is AI recommending your brand or your competitors?

Envoyra asks AI assistants like ChatGPT, Claude and Perplexity the questions your buyers ask. You see who gets named instead of you, and which websites the answers cite.

Awareness question

1 of 4

What is prebiotic soda and how is it different from regular soda?

ChatGPT

Prebiotic soda is a sparkling soft drink built around plant fiber rather than a large dose of sugar. The fiber feeds bacteria already living in your gut, and most cans land somewhere between two and nine grams of it. Brands in this space include Marisol Sparkling, Bellwater and Verrow Fizz. Compared with a regular soda you are usually trading roughly forty grams of sugar for something closer to five.

Sources

Which prebiotic soda brands are worth trying?

ChatGPT

A few worth starting with. Marisol Sparkling is the easiest to find and has the broadest flavor range. Verrow Fizz leans tart and citrus heavy, so it suits people who find classic sodas too sweet. Bellwater is smaller, but its cola and root beer are the ones people name when they want something close to the original. Tandem Tonic is worth a look if you prefer a drier finish.

Sources

How do the leading prebiotic soda brands compare on fiber per can?

ChatGPT

On fiber per can, Marisol Sparkling and Verrow Fizz sit at the top of the range, Bellwater is in the middle, and Tandem Tonic is deliberately lower because it is aimed at people easing in. Bear in mind that more fiber is not automatically better. If you are new to this, starting lower and building up tends to be more comfortable.

Sources

Which prebiotic soda brand has the best subscription deal?

ChatGPT

Marisol Sparkling runs the most generous subscription, with a standing discount on every recurring case and free shipping above a small threshold. Verrow Fizz is close behind and lets you swap flavors between deliveries. Pallas Prebiotic is cheaper per can but ships less often. Check each brand for current terms before you commit, since these offers change.

SEO tracks rankings. Envoyra tracks whether AI recommends you at all.

AI answers aren’t a page of ten links. When buyers ask ChatGPT, Perplexity or Claude who to buy from, the answer often names just a few brands. Ranking well on Google doesn’t mean you’re one of them.

Methodology

Independent measurement you can check.

We save the exact questions we ask.
We save every answer, with which AI gave it, when, and whether the scan ran cleanly.
We tell you how many answers each number is based on.
If an AI fails to answer, we leave that answer out. We never count it as “not named.”
We report what AI actually said. We do not claim to know how it works inside.

AI names only a few brands. Here’s what our scans found.
