What the measurements show, by category

The businesses AI names against the ones it never names, one row per business, every category with enough of both to compare. The pattern repeats: what decides it sits off the website.

The state of AI visibility, across every category

The single weakest foundation across Australian business is quotable content (avg 67/100). It's also the cheapest to fix, and the businesses that fix it first take the answers.

108 of the businesses we measured have technically excellent sites (readiness ≥70) and are still invisible to AI: built right, found never. Website quality isn't the bottleneck; off-page authority is.

The names AI recommends most

Across every scan in every category, these are the businesses ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity and Google's AI named most often. Being on this list is the goal.

Method. Found by AI asks ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity and Google's AI the questions real buyers ask for each category, then measures which businesses the engines actually name. Scores are 0–100 point-in-time measurements; the index re-scans and grows automatically. Businesses listed here were selected and measured by us from public directories, scan your own site free to see where you'd rank. Queries and methodology are open: github.com/techhorizonlabs.
