Selyn scores 30/100 for AI visibility - how well ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews can discover, identify and cite the brand.
Selyn has a weak AI-visibility profile at 30/100 - 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 (15/100). It benefits from a Wikidata knowledge-graph entry, open access for AI crawlers (GPTBot, ClaudeBot, etc.) and machine-readable schema.org markup. The main gaps holding it back: no clear Wikipedia entity to anchor it in LLM training data and a low Moz Domain Authority of 1/100. In a live check, Claude could already identify Selyn from memory (October 2026) - a sign these signals are paying off.
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.
