What AI wants here

Household Cleaning Products is decided on attraction.

Being named is visibility. Underneath it, every answer describes a brand in three ways — how much it stands out, how much it belongs, and how much it is returned to. In household cleaning products, Bleach London leads attraction at 125 against Viakal at 85, indexed on the category at 100.

Read is not cited

Astonish converts reads into citations. Your brand doesn't.

When Claude or ChatGPT opens a brand's own pages while answering, does the page make the cited-sources list? Astonish converts 75% of reads; Your brand just 38%. That gap is a content problem, not a visibility problem.
