Most businesses aren't losing because they're worse.
They're losing because AI understands someone else better.
For agencies
Agencies: your clients are already being evaluated by AI.
Clients are starting to see competitors show up in AI results first.
Now you can show them why and fix it before they look elsewhere.
White-label ready. Track your entire client portfolio.
Not seeing your business?
AI is already recommending a competitor instead.
→ Who AI believes your customers are
→ Which customers you're not getting
→ Why AI chooses someone else first
The difference isn't marketing.
It's whether AI can confidently match you to the right customer.
That's what this measures. That's what this fixes.

How it works
How the rankings work
Real questions. Straight answers.
The ARO Index is a ranked dataset of businesses scored on how consistently and confidently AI platforms recommend them. It measures recommendation rate across major AI platforms, model agreement, score strength, and audit recency -- then weights them into a single Index Score. Think of it like a credit bureau for AI recommendations. Your score reflects how the machines see you, not how you see yourself.
The ARO Score measures how well a single website is structured to be recommended by AI platforms. It evaluates entity clarity, topical authority, schema markup, content structure, and crawlability -- the signals AI uses to decide who to recommend. A high ARO Score means the machines understand you. A low score means they are guessing, and when AI guesses, it recommends someone else.
Your ARO Score measures your site in isolation. Your Index Score measures you against every other business in your category. A business recommended by all AI models ranks higher than one with a better raw score but fewer model recommendations. The Index Score is competitive. The ARO Score is diagnostic.
Rankings update in real time as new audits complete. Every audit run adds to the dataset. The more businesses audited in a category, the more accurate and competitive the index becomes. Early movers have a significant advantage -- they set the benchmark everyone else is measured against.
Google rewards links, keywords, and click signals. AI platforms reward clarity, entity recognition, and structured data. A business can rank on page one of Google and be completely invisible inside AI recommendations -- because the signals are fundamentally different.
The Index Score combines three weighted factors: ARO Score (70%), AI model recommendation rate (20%), and audit recency (10%). A business audited recently and recommended by all AI models will outrank one with a higher raw score but older data.
The ARO Index gives agencies a real competitive benchmark to show clients -- not vanity metrics, but actual AI recommendation data. Agency access unlocks query-level detail, client filtering, and audit history. Enter your access code above or get in touch to learn about agency partnerships.
