Your buyers are asking AI which software to use. Is it naming you — or your competitor?
On July 16, 2026 we measured a real category the way we’d measure yours — run by run, across ChatGPT and Google’s AI Mode. Most teams have never checked where they land.

vendors flipped between identical reruns. One check can make anyone look present — or absent — by luck.
ChatGPT + Google AI Mode · 32 runs
Google AI Mode runs naming Icertis — the same day it hit 12/20 (60%) on ChatGPT. The engines don’t agree.
ChatGPT vs Google AI Mode
CrediGeo measurement · 32 runs · contract management software · 2026-07-16
You spent years getting found on Google. Your buyers are quietly starting somewhere else.
AI hands your buyers a shortlist
A few named vendors — and many buyers never scroll past them to a Google result.
You can’t see the answers you’re losing
Private chats — no impression count, nothing in GA or your CRM.
It’s not your Google rank — and it moves
Your SEO position doesn’t predict it — it needs its own measurement and its own work.
ChatGPT and Google’s AI Mode don’t agree — we measure them separately
Same vendor, same questions, same day — two verdicts. A blended score hides exactly this:
Icertis
Δ 60 points — a major vendor, invisible on one engine.
PandaDoc
The same gap, inverted — strong on the engine Icertis is missing from.
measured 2026-07-16 · 20 ChatGPT + 12 AI Mode runs · contract management software
Same question, run after run, two engines — the whole method is public
Five concrete steps, each one you can check yourself.
-
Your buyers’ real prompts
The exact questions your ICP types — “best [category] software,” “[competitor] alternatives,” “software for [job-to-be-done].” Built with you, in your buyers’ words, then frozen so the numbers stay comparable.
-
Two engines, never blended
ChatGPT and Google’s AI Mode, reported side by side. The gap between them is a finding — often the most useful one.
-
Several runs per prompt
Being named isn’t a yes/no — it’s how often you’re named across repeated identical asks. We report the full spread per engine, not an averaged score.
-
Run-to-run stability
Which prompts hold and which flip. A question that names you 2 of 5 times is a fragile position; 5 of 5 is a moat. We show you which is which.
-
Who dominates, and what AI cites
The competitor leaderboard and the sources the engines pull from to build the answers — the map for where the authority work goes.
Every published number ships with its archived raw answers and the exact prompts. The full method →
Most companies we measure should not hire us
If the engines already name you consistently across runs, the report says so and we don’t pitch the sprint. The service is for the other case: competitors named while you aren’t, or a position that flips run to run.
What we never promise: placements, rankings, or a guaranteed share of answer.

people use ChatGPT every week (Oct 2025), up from 500M in March — the surface where buyers now ask which software to use.
users of Google’s AI Mode; AI Overviews reach 2.5B monthly by sitting on top of ordinary searches.
Plus 51% of B2B software buyers now starting their research with AI more often than Google — every figure traced and scoped on the AI search statistics page.
How this compares to hiring an agency
| Category | A typical SEO/AEO agency | CrediGeo |
|---|---|---|
| What you get | Rankings/traffic KPIs | A reproducible AI-answer measurement + the work |
| Proof | Trust us; watch the rankings | Every raw answer archived and published |
| Terms | Open retainer, often annual | A fixed 90-day sprint, billed monthly — cancel any month |
The measurement is the door. Moving the number is the work.
-
Monthly measurement — ChatGPT and Google’s AI Mode
Both engines’ full distribution, tracked month over month — real movement, not a self-redefining score.
-
Competitor & citation monitoring
Who’s gaining in your category’s answers, and which sources the engines cite — the map of where to earn in.
-
The authority work, done for you
Review-platform coverage, roundup outreach, answer-shaped content — drafted for your approval, shipped and dated.
-
Nothing for your security team to review
No system access, no OAuth, no tracking snippet — the whole engagement runs on public sources, outside your stack.

Who does the work
Frank, founder
CrediGeo is just me. No team, no account managers, no handoffs.
I’ve spent the last seven years in data engineering, building pipelines and web-data products where a wrong number gets caught quickly. I measure AI visibility the same way. Ask the same question many times, log every answer, and claim nothing the log doesn’t show.
If we work together, you deal with me the whole way. I run the measurement, do the research and the outreach, and I’m on every call. The Vokaro case below is my work.
A real client result
How we got Vokaro named by AI assistants
When buyers ask AI assistants for software in its category, Vokaro shows up: named in 8/9 Google AI Mode answers, and now drawing referral visits from 5 different AI assistants, up from a single engine at launch.

Questions B2B marketers ask
- Do B2B buyers actually use AI to choose software?
- 51% of B2B software buyers now start research with an AI chatbot more often than Google (G2, 2026). The model answers with a short list of vendors — most companies have never checked whether they’re on it.
- How would I even know where I stand in AI answers?
- The answers happen inside private chats — nothing in your analytics shows them. We run your buyers’ questions across ChatGPT and Google’s AI Mode and show who gets named, run by run.
- Why not just use a free AI-visibility checker?
- Do — a free score answers “am I visible?”, and our free breakdown answers it run by run. The paid Authority Blueprint answers what to do: which sources drive your category’s answers, and the 90-day plan. What the Blueprint contains →
- Can you show this working on a real company?
- Yes. We did the earned-authority work for a B2B software company, and it’s now named across Google AI Mode answers for its category and drawing referral visits from 5 AI assistants — ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Gemini and Copilot. The case study lays out the work and the measured result. Read the case study →
- Who actually does the work?
- Frank, the founder. CrediGeo is a one-person company: he runs the measurement, does the research and the outreach, and takes every call himself. No account team.
- Is this just SEO or AEO with a new label?
- No. SEO ranks a page in a list of links; this measures whether the AI names your product at all — a different surface, read from different sources. The full comparison →
- Do you guarantee we’ll show up more in AI answers?
- No — AI answers move daily and can’t be bought. We commit to the measurement, the work, and the dated log; you keep every result either way.
