Zero scores 34/100 for AI visibility - how well ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews can discover, identify and cite the brand.
Zero has a weak AI-visibility profile at 34/100 - a proxy for how readily ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google's AI Overviews can recognise and cite it. Its strongest area is recommendation likelihood (48/100) and its weakest is trust (21/100). 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 no llms.txt to steer AI to its best pages. In a live check (November 2026), Claude could not identify Zero 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 Zero: ZERMA (76/100), Zeramex (76/100), Zhermack (76/100), Zimmatic (76/100).
