OpenAI: AI Visibility Report
When buyers ask ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini about ai visibility & aeo, OpenAI ranks #12 of 15, a Visibility Score of 9 in AI Visibility & AEO (and appears in 2 categories of the index).
These rankings are measured from what the three models know from training, not a live web search. The live-web grounded surface is rolling out across the index. Methodology.
A list-padding footnote across both categories, never a recommendation.
Where it wins. Feature-led prompts in AI Visibility and AEO give OpenAI its ceiling: a 12.5% mention rate and a rank of 12th, meaning it surfaces when buyers ask about specific capabilities rather than general fit.
Where it loses. In LLM and Agent Evals, a 1.4% first-pick rate tells the real story: evaluators acknowledge it exists but route buyers elsewhere, and it disappears entirely when prompts turn to enterprise, startup, or top-tools framing.
