What real audits found, with the names removed

Each page below walks through one real Vivander Visibility Audit: what we tested, what came back, why, and the steps that followed.

Names and places are left out. Every number is a count from the audit's saved answers.

Real data, names hidden. Hotels: a resort recommended by 6 of 6 AI tools for the quiet end of the beach and 1 of 6 when a guest was ready to book; known by name in 100 percent of pairs, mentioned in 42 percent with the name left out. Restaurants: nine venues known by name in 96 percent, mentioned in 30 percent unasked. Products: a food brand mentioned in 37 percent and recommended in 8. Services: an agency got 17 of its 18 mentions from one kind of question, 47 percent of answers in its home region and 0 outside hospitality.
Real figures from four audits. Names are hidden.
The pattern

Known by name, missing when the name is left out

In three audits on the current method, AI knew the business by name nearly every time. Asked the way a new buyer asks, it mentioned each one far less often.

Paired bars for three audits. Luxury resort: known by name in 143 of 143 pairs, 100 percent; mentioned with the name left out in 255 of 605, 42 percent. Nine restaurants and bars: 1,182 of 1,227, 96 percent, against 1,071 of 3,615, 30 percent. Consumer food brand: 130 of 130, 100 percent, against 145 of 396, 37 percent.
A new buyer rarely types your name. These bars show what happens when they leave it out.
Reading the pages

Three results for every question

Each answer is read for three results, counted separately. One answer can count for more than one.

Mentioned

The answer names you among the places or firms it lists. AI cannot suggest a business it never brings up.

Cited

The answer links your own website as a source. The tool read your site, so your pages shaped what it said.

Recommended

The answer puts you forward as a choice, with a reason. This is the result that sends a buyer to you.

How a result is counted

A pair is one question on one AI tool, asked three times. It counts when the result appears in at least two of the three tries.

One page uses an earlier edition

The professional services audit ran on an earlier edition: four tools, one try each, and no recommended score.

Figures on that page are single answers, and the page says so wherever a number appears.

Real data, names hidden, questions without the business name. A luxury resort, 605 pairs: mentioned 42 percent, cited 23, recommended 30. Nine restaurants and bars, 3,615 pairs: 30, 12 and 20. A food brand, 396 pairs: 37, 15 and 8.
Real figures: the three results in three current audits.

An audit tests your buyers' questions on the AI tools they use and shows who gets suggested in your place.
