Spindle scores 20/100 for AI visibility - how well ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews can discover, identify and cite the brand.
Spindle has a weak AI-visibility profile at 20/100 - a proxy for how readily ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google's AI Overviews can recognise and cite it. Its strongest area is recommendation likelihood (42/100) and its weakest is trust (7/100). It benefits from a Wikidata knowledge-graph entry 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 10/100 and thin schema.org structured data. In a live check (October 2026), Claude could not identify Spindle 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 Spindle: Envive (74/100), SPIE Digital Library (74/100), Spinwheel (74/100), SpiraLinks (74/100).
