Nova scores 45/100 for AI visibility - how well ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews can discover, identify and cite the brand.
Nova has a limited AI-visibility profile at 45/100 - a proxy for how readily ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google's AI Overviews can recognise and cite it. Its strongest area is visibility (55/100) and its weakest is trust (26/100). It benefits from a recognised Wikipedia company entity, a Wikidata knowledge-graph entry and open access for AI crawlers (GPTBot, ClaudeBot, etc.). The main gaps holding it back: a low Moz Domain Authority of 5/100 and no llms.txt to steer AI to its best pages. In a live check (October 2026), Claude could not identify Nova 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.
