AI Share of Voice
Your AI search share of voice is falling behind competitors.
While competitors dominate AI recommendations in your category, your brand barely registers. Share of voice in AI search is the new market share metric.
The factors
What determines AI share of voice?
AI systems don't randomly pick favorites. Share of voice is earned through consistent, multi-source presence.
Mention frequency
How often is your brand mentioned across the web compared to competitors? AI models weigh repetition heavily. More mentions = higher share of voice.
Source diversity
Are you mentioned across blogs, videos, social, and forums? Or just your own channels? Multi-source presence signals credibility to AI systems.
Contextual relevance
Are you mentioned in the right contexts? When AI answers 'best tools for X,' your brand needs to appear in content about X — not just your homepage.
Content freshness
When were you last mentioned? AI systems favor recent, updated information. Stale presence means declining share of voice over time.
The impact
Low share of voice isn't just a vanity metric.
It directly impacts how many potential customers discover your brand through AI-assisted searches — a channel that's growing 40% month over month.

Questions
Share of voice FAQ
What is AI search share of voice?
It's the percentage of AI-generated recommendations in your category that mention your brand vs competitors. If AI answers 100 questions about your industry and mentions you in 5, your share of voice is 5%. Most brands are at 0-3%.
How do I measure my current AI share of voice?
Ask ChatGPT, Claude, and Perplexity 20-30 questions that buyers in your category would ask. Count how often your brand appears vs competitors. This gives you a directional benchmark. We can help with a deeper audit.
Why is my share of voice so low?
AI models learn from what's published across the web. If your competitors have 10x more mentions across blogs, videos, and social, they'll have 10x higher share of voice. It's a presence problem, not a product problem.
How fast can I improve my share of voice?
You'll see measurable improvement within 2-3 months of consistent content distribution. AI models typically take 4-8 weeks to incorporate new presence into their knowledge, then your share grows with each content cycle.
Is share of voice the same as SEO rankings?
No. SEO share of voice measures Google rankings. AI share of voice measures how often you're recommended by ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, and AI Overviews. You can rank #1 in Google and still have 0% AI share of voice.
What's a good AI share of voice target?
In most categories, 15-25% share of voice puts you in the top 3 recommended brands. Getting to 30%+ often means you become the default recommendation. Start by doubling your current share, then aim for top 3.
Start claiming your share.
Every day you wait, competitors take a larger slice of AI recommendations. Your share of voice won't grow on its own.
