Does your business exist for the machines that now decide on your behalf?
We measure a company’s digital presence: where it appears, what is said about it, and whether the AI engines that now recommend businesses find it and cite it.
Assumption and perception
How a brand is perceived is not what the company assumes it to be.
What the company assumes
- “We show up in search” — verified by searching for its own name, the one term almost every company ranks for.
- “Our reviews are good” — with no idea whether they are recent, whether they were answered, or whether any machine finds them.
- Confirming any of this means searching by hand, asking whoever built the site, and stitching together answers that do not compare with another company’s.
How it is actually perceived
- Which sector queries the company appears in — and which ones it never appears in at all.
- What is said about it: review volume, recency, average and response.
- Whether the AI engines that now recommend businesses can read it, cite it and recommend it.
No company controls what is said about it. It controls what it gives them to read.
How a brand is perceived no longer forms only in the people who visit it. It forms in the signals automated systems read, cross-reference and cite. Those signals are observable, datable and comparable across companies — and that is what the index publishes.
How it works
Three steps. One index.
Collection
We collect public signals about the company: search, structured data, mentions, reviews and published activity.
Measurement
Each signal becomes a dated metric and is compared against the cohort of equivalent companies.
Publication
The index publishes the company’s position, the score per pillar and the confidence of the measurement.
Six pillars
Six pillars. One score.
Each pillar measures a distinct dimension of a company’s digital presence. No pillar compensates for the absence of another.
Foundation
Speed, security, mobile and accessibility.
Machine Readability
Structured data and access for AI crawlers.
Discovery
Search, presence in sector queries and local pack.
Reputation
Review volume, recency, average and response.
External Authority
Press, mentions and directory presence.
Activity
Cadence and consistency of content and social.
The index is public.
Each company’s position, the score per pillar, and the method behind them — open to consult.
