Moz Domain Authority 28/100 vs category average 38 / leader 94 - limited third-party links, so AI systems rarely encounter mentions of the brand.
Ranked #616,326 on the Tranco list of most-visited sites - modest traffic makes the brand easy for AI models to overlook.
No Wikipedia presence was found - a major gap, since Wikipedia is among the most heavily weighted sources in AI training data.
The homepage meta description reads "High-quality metallography, materialography and hardness testing equipment ✓ consumables ✓ software ✓ complete laboratories ➤ Learn more" (Meta description: 17 words (ideal length). No OG description (falling back to meta)) - this is the summary AI engines are most likely to quote.
Structured data on the homepage: 2 JSON-LD block(s), Breadcrumb/Website schema, Product/Article schema, canonical. Adding Organization and FAQ schema would further help AI crawlers parse the brand's identity.
AI-crawler access: robots.txt present, no AI bot restrictions - robots.txt controls whether engines like GPTBot and ClaudeBot can read the site at all.
Detected tech stack: PHP.
Social footprint: verified profiles on YouTube, LinkedIn, Instagram; no detected presence on X (Twitter), Facebook, GitHub - consistent profiles reinforce the brand's identity across the web.
0 Reddit mentions - community discussion signals real-world reputation to AI models.

QATM scores 31/100 for AI visibility - how well ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews can discover, identify and cite the brand.
QATM 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. Its strongest area is recommendation likelihood (55/100) and its weakest is visibility (22/100). It benefits from a Wikidata knowledge-graph entry, a global traffic rank of #616,326 (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 28/100 and no llms.txt to steer AI to its best pages. In a live check (September 2026), Claude could not identify QATM 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 QATM: Pulsar Vision (77/100), Pulsar (77/100), QNX (77/100), QueueWay (77/100).
A step up - brands to learn from: Zoo Med Laboratories (81/100), Yoder Smokers (81/100).
Category leader: DHL (97/100).
