Paddle Europe scores 39/100 for AI visibility - how well ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews can discover, identify and cite the brand.
Paddle Europe has a weak AI-visibility profile at 39/100 - a proxy for how readily ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google's AI Overviews can recognise and cite it. Its strongest area is recommendation likelihood (48/100) and its weakest is trust (29/100). It benefits from a recognised Wikipedia company entity, a global traffic rank of #3,117,965 (Tranco) and a Moz Domain Authority of 40/100. The main gaps holding it back: no strong Wikidata entry, thin schema.org structured data and no llms.txt to steer AI to its best pages.
