Lido scores 39/100 for AI visibility - how well ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews can discover, identify and cite the brand.
Lido 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 (45/100) and its weakest is visibility (35/100). It benefits from a Wikidata knowledge-graph entry, a Moz Domain Authority of 43/100 and open access for AI crawlers (GPTBot, ClaudeBot, etc.). The main gaps holding it back: no clear Wikipedia entity to anchor it in LLM training data, thin schema.org structured data and no llms.txt to steer AI to its best pages. In a live check (October 2026), Claude could not identify Lido from memory, confirming the gaps above.
The score combines seven dimensions - name quality, digital presence, visual identity, messaging clarity, trust foundation, AI discoverability, and brand authority - into a single objective benchmark.
Ranked closest to Lido: Licensed Trade Charity (LTC) (74/100), Levy Restaurants (74/100), Lion Coffee (74/100), Livestock Wealth (74/100).
