CFT scores 31/100 for AI visibility - how well ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews can discover, identify and cite the brand.
CFT has a weak AI-visibility profile at 31/100 - a proxy for how readily ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google's AI Overviews can recognise and cite it.

It benefits from a Wikidata knowledge-graph entry, a global traffic rank of #1,535,588 (Tranco) and a Moz Domain Authority of 47/100.
