All Car Leasing is the default answer.
Named in 5% of car leasing answers, typically in position 3.3. First Vehicle Leasing follows at 5%, VC Plus at 5%.
Every brand AI names, ranked.
Visibility is the share of answers naming the brand; citation share is its slice of all brand-owned pages cited; read→cited is how often its pages convert a read into a citation.

First Vehicle Leasing is named most. That is not the same as being wanted.
Being named is visibility. Underneath it, asked to rate each brand directly, the AI assistants judge it three ways — how much it stands out, how much it belongs, and how much it is returned to. They put 8% of the 36 brands rated above indifference. Carwow leads the brands the answers name, at 72% of maximum Desire. On attachment, the most divided driver, Octopus EV indexes 141 against Equip Car Leasing at 77, on a category average of 100.
Each whorl lights one ring per index threshold cleared (84 / 92 / 100 / 108 / 116). Above indifference means Desire above two-thirds of its maximum. See the full car leasing desire edition →
Before it answers, it goes looking for Leasing Options.
An assistant does not answer from memory alone. It runs its own web searches first, and whoever it searches for is the shortlist it then chooses from. Across 78 searches in car leasing, Leasing Options is named in 50% of the ones that name a brand at all. ChatGPT Web, Copilot do not report their searches, so these shares are measured against the ones that do.
These are the assistants' own searches, read from their answers — not what anyone typed into a search engine.
The referees of car leasing.
The independent sources AI models cite when answering car leasing questions — the places a brand needs to be seen, reviewed and ranked.
Synergy Car Leasing converts reads into citations. Stable Vehicle Contracts doesn't.
When Claude or ChatGPT opens a brand's own pages while answering, does the page make the cited-sources list? Synergy Car Leasing converts 80% of reads; Stable Vehicle Contracts just 0%. That gap is a content problem, not a visibility problem.

First Vehicle Leasing builds pages AI can quote.
Readiness scores each brand's own pages on the structure models reward — a direct answer up front, tables, hard numbers, named authors, structured data, recency, specifications. First Vehicle Leasing is the widest gap: well-built pages that still aren't converting into citations.
| Brand | Readiness | Pages cited | Pages profiled |
|---|---|---|---|
| First Vehicle Leasing | 56 | 26% | 23 |
| Carwow | 38 | 38% | 16 |
| Lease World | 37 | 14% | 14 |
| Vanarama | 32 | 5% | 39 |

| Hippo Leasing | 26 | 20% | 10 |
| LeaseLoco | 26 | 3% | 31 |
| Stable Vehicle Contracts | 25 | 11% | 9 |
Readiness is the share of eight measurable structural signals present on a brand's profiled pages. It is a build-quality measure, not a ranking of the brand.
The questions car leasing pages have to settle.
Read straight off the pages AI cited: the consumer questions cited content answers most often. Content that fails to settle these is content models have no reason to quote.
Nineteen more categories.
Method: 20 unbranded consumer prompts per category, spread across the buying journey, run weekly against ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini.
