    Why share of voice matters more than a single score

    A single visibility score tells you how you are doing. Share of voice tells you how you are doing compared with the businesses buyers are choosing instead. That is the number leadership teams usually want: are we gaining or losing ground in AI answers in our category?

    How we measure AI share of voice

    • Agree the question set: the real questions buyers ask in your category, phrased the way UK buyers phrase them
    • Agree the competitors: the businesses you want to be compared against
    • Test across assistants: ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and Claude
    • Repeat each question: AI answers vary between runs, so we report how often, not a one-off snapshot
    • Record the detail: mentioned or not, cited with a link, position in the answer, and how you are described
    • Re-test monthly: the same questions and competitors, so the trend is meaningful

    What you receive

    • Share of voice for you and each competitor, overall and per assistant
    • The questions where competitors are named and you are not
    • The sources each assistant cites when it names a competitor
    • A short list of actions most likely to close the gap
    • A month-on-month trend once tracking is running

    AI share of voice for financial services and other regulated sectors

    Financial services, legal and accountancy firms often need to know how AI assistants describe them, not just whether they appear. We record the wording used about your business and competitors, and flag answers that are inaccurate or out of date, so your team can decide what to correct. We report what the assistants say; we do not give regulatory or compliance advice.

    Tracking tools vs a managed benchmark

    Software tools can track AI mentions automatically and are useful for monitoring. A managed benchmark adds an agreed question set, a competitor set chosen with you, human review of the answers, and recommendations on what to change. Many clients use both.

    AI Share of Voice FAQs.

    What is AI share of voice?

    AI share of voice is the proportion of AI-generated answers to relevant buyer questions that mention your business, compared with named competitors, across assistants such as ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and Claude.

    How do you calculate AI share of voice?

    We ask each assistant a fixed set of category questions several times, record which businesses are mentioned, cited or recommended first, and divide each business's mentions by the total for the competitor set.

    Who offers AI share of voice benchmarking in the UK?

    AVO is a UK agency that benchmarks AI share of voice against named competitors across ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and Claude, with monthly tracking available from £500 per month.

    Why do the results change between runs?

    AI assistants do not give identical answers every time. Repeating each question and reporting frequency gives a more reliable picture than a single test.

    Can you benchmark us against specific competitors?

    Yes. You choose the competitors; we agree the question set with you before testing starts.
