What Auditing 500 Manufacturers Reveals About AI Visibility

Every manufacturer wants to know whether AI tools like ChatGPT, Gemini, and Perplexity will recommend them, or even recognize them correctly. Almost nobody has actually measured it. So we audited 500+ U.S. manufacturers, scoring each company on a four-part model — entity identity, authority, trust signals, and digital infrastructure — then ran over 100,000 niche-aware queries across five major AI platforms.

This session presents what we found: where manufacturers cluster on AI readiness, what separates the companies AI cites from the ones it doesn’t, and which widely-held assumptions the data complicates. No hype and no acronym soup. Just original data, an audit you can run on your own company, and what to do Monday morning.
