First findings from the Radar Brand Index. 50 named brands audited live with Radar. Stripe and BetterUp lead at 88/100. Hims and Hers hit 4/100. Three brands are completely invisible to AI. Here is what the data says.
Most AI SEO tools never actually query an LLM. They infer visibility from proxies. Static analysis cannot tell you what ChatGPT says about your brand. Only asking ChatGPT can.
Fifty real users went from a free AI visibility tool to a paid strategy. Here is the 5-stage conversion path they actually followed, where they dropped off, and what it means for you at whatever stage you are in.
Radar could not produce a meaningful AI readiness score for qz.com. The site returned no extractable content to standard crawlers, indicating one or more of: a hard paywall, login wall, or aggressive anti-bot defenses.
This is a real signal, not an audit failure. AI assistants like ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, and Gemini will face the same barriers when trying to cite content from this domain. The practical impact: even if the brand is well-known, AI search tools will not surface it in answers because they cannot actually read the content.

The AI Readiness pulse is a composite of six content-surface tools from Radar’s 12-tool methodology: AI bot crawlability, robots.txt configuration, llms.txt implementation, schema markup quality, AEO page structure, and a unified composite score.
This is the same score used in the State of AI Visibility 2026 benchmark report. The full Radar audit (12 tools, including live LLM citation tracking, hallucination detection, and prompt SOV) is available on the paid platform.
