Starlink (Swarm) scores 32/100 for AI visibility - how well ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews can discover, identify and cite the brand.
Starlink (Swarm) has a weak AI-visibility profile at 32/100 - a proxy for how readily ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google's AI Overviews can recognise and cite it. Its strongest area is visibility (33/100) and its weakest is trust (29/100). It benefits from a Wikidata knowledge-graph entry, a global traffic rank of #2,028,276 (Tranco) and a Moz Domain Authority of 46/100. The main gaps holding it back: no clear Wikipedia entity to anchor it in LLM training data, thin schema.org structured data and no llms.txt to steer AI to its best pages.
