SoaRank Score · Share of Answer
AI answers vary from run to run. The score has an estimated noise range of ±2, so only changes beyond that range should be treated as meaningful.
AI models, data sources, and evaluation conditions change over time, so the same brand may score differently when retested.

AI has an impression of you and your presence is climbing
What this number means: AI already puts you in front of ~52 of every 100 buyers who ask — the work now is keeping and growing that seat.
Six-tier rating · one standard across all reports
| Range | Tier | What this tier means |
|---|---|---|
| 90–100 | Leader · Top Tier | AI already treats you as a default answer in the category; the position is contested daily and maintained through monthly retesting. |
| 75–89 | Dark Horse · Breakout | AI frequently recommends your brand and sees it as close to the default choice; identify where the remaining points are being lost and close those gaps. |
| 60–74 | Challenger · Contender | AI recognizes your brand and considers it a contender; one more push could move you into the top tier. |
| 40–59 | Rising · Riser ◀ you are here | AI recognizes your brand and its visibility is growing; the next step is to focus that momentum on winnable intents. |
| 20–39 | Emerging · Sprout | AI mentions you occasionally, but your visibility in AI answers is still limited; start by winning a narrow set of high-value intents. |
| 0–19 | Invisible · Ghost | AI rarely mentions you in its answers, which means this tier also offers the greatest growth potential. |
You are 3 points below the next tier, "Challenger."

The short version — no jargon
We asked AI 193 real buying questions in your category. You were named in 52% of answers — you are on AI's shortlist. The job now is defending that seat and closing the questions you still miss.
The three things that matter
1
No one owns this category in AI yet — the most-named rival, Babbel, sits at just 37% (you: 52%). The seat is up for grabs.
2
You are completely invisible on 4 of 10 buyer questions — usually because nothing on the web answers those questions with your name on it.
3
Your website scores 36/100 on AI-readability — AI's crawlers struggle to read and quote it (think: the store door is half-shut).
