Moz Domain Authority 36/100 vs category average 48 / leader 99 - limited third-party links, so AI systems rarely encounter mentions of the brand.

Nlc scores 23/100 for AI visibility - how well ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews can discover, identify and cite the brand.
Nlc has a weak AI-visibility profile at 23/100 - a proxy for how readily ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google's AI Overviews can recognise and cite it. Its strongest area is visibility (27/100) and its weakest is trust (15/100). It benefits from a Wikidata knowledge-graph entry, a global traffic rank of #54,611 (Tranco) 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, a low Moz Domain Authority of 36/100 and thin schema.org structured data. In a live check (October 2026), Claude could not identify Nlc 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.
