Your AI Visibility Playbook
Summary
Quillstream is visible but losing ground on comparison queries. The single biggest gap is structured comparison content that AI engines can extract.

Executive Summary
7/10
The average of your per-engine scores.
Reach: named in 10 of 15 prompts by at least one engine.
Analyst verdict
Strong on discovery queries, invisible on 'affordable' and 'easy-to-use', the biggest growth gap in this demonstration.
Search is splitting in two
Two different measurements: Google Search organic results, which we look up, against what AI engines answer when asked. Gemini is counted as an AI engine, not as Google Search.
Your site ranks #1 on Google for your own brand name "Quillstream", expected, and not counted below. Category prompts are where visibility is won or lost.
Category Google Search presence
9/10
Ranks in Google's top 10 for 13 of 15 prompts.
AI visibility
7/10
Named by AI engines for 10 of 15 prompts.
How the Google Search score works: how often your domain appears in Google's top-10 organic results for these category buyer-intent prompts, searched in the scan's market and language. Branded searches are excluded. The domains listed below are the live Google results.
Note: each brand's score reflects its own generated prompt set, tailored to that brand's category and positioning. Scores aren't directly comparable across two separately-scanned brands: the prompts differ and so do the competitive sets.
The verdict
Your Google and AI presence are roughly in step, keep both rising together.
