AI Visibility Leaderboard
The AECI per-category leaderboard: which tools ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews actually name when buyers ask buying-intent questions in your category. Built from 60 AI answers across 20 GTM queries, dated snapshot June 7, 2026. Each board is simultaneously the SEO asset and the named outbound prospecting list.

How to read these boards. Each leaderboard shows which tool each engine named as its top pick for that category query, plus the per-vendor AECI consensus flag:
Consensus (all three engines agree),
2-of-3 (one engine dissents),
Full Diverge (all three engines name different tools), or
Absent (not named by any engine on the category query). Full Diverge categories are the most winnable: no tool has locked AI consensus yet. The underlying data and methodology live at
