StenTech scores 43/100 for AI visibility - how well ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews can discover, identify and cite the brand.
StenTech has a limited AI-visibility profile at 43/100 - a proxy for how readily ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google's AI Overviews can recognise and cite it. Its strongest area is recommendation likelihood (58/100) and its weakest is visibility (33/100). 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 23/100. In a live check (September 2026), Claude could not identify StenTech 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 StenTech: Usiminas (81/100), Usha International (81/100), Vacuworx (81/100), Vallen (81/100).
A step up - brands to learn from: Zuken (91/100), Zoetis (91/100).
