What the pattern means
The gap is discovery coverage, not branded awareness. The winning domains answer narrow buyer questions directly, especially around asset-based brokerage, agent programs, switching, supplier-diversity proof, and video explainers.

Highest-value gaps

Educational broker pages that explain asset-based vs. non-asset brokerage.
Agent-program and broker-switching pages used in recruiting and transition queries.
Supplier-diversity proof pages that validate WBE and procurement fit.
YouTube versions of the same discovery topics so AI has another retrieval surface.

Section 07 · Recommendations
07 — Five Fixes, Prioritized

What to change before next month's report.

Recommendations are prioritized by expected impact and ease of execution, so teams can focus first on the changes most likely to improve visibility.

01

Build a discovery cluster around asset-based freight brokerage

When [Your Client] is absent, AI engines repeatedly cite educational broker pages and explainers on asset-based brokerage, capacity, and broker evaluation rather than [Your Client]'s own site.

A useful starting point is a focused set of pages addressing the questions buyers ask most often: asset-based vs. non-asset brokerage, asset-backed capacity, how to evaluate an asset-based freight broker, and best-fit use cases. This is the clearest path to improving visibility beyond branded searches.

02

Build an agent-program and broker-switching cluster

Armstrong, SPI, Tallgrass, DAT, and similar brands dominate queries about agent programs, onboarding, moving a book of business, and switching brokers.

Create pages covering the agent program overview, switching considerations, onboarding timeline, commission structure, back-office support, and recruiter FAQs so [Your Client] is better represented on these decision-stage topics.

03

Publish a supplier-diversity and WBE proof hub

Supplier-diversity prompts are being won by proof-oriented pages, not generic service copy.

Develop a proof-oriented content hub covering WBE certification, procurement readiness, enterprise qualification details, and a dedicated page for WBE-certified freight broker searches.

Section 07 · Recommendations (cont.)
07 — Continued

Two more worth your time.

The remaining recommendations extend the same strategy by strengthening supporting content and improving how key topics are surfaced and understood by AI systems.

04

Expand competitor comparison pages where [Your Client] already shows traction

[Your Client] already appears in some direct comparison prompts, which suggests comparison content is a practical near-term expansion opportunity.

Develop structured comparison pages for Echo, Coyote, Armstrong, Landstar, and TQL with direct-answer introductions, use-case fit, switching criteria, and FAQ sections.

Impact

Effort
Medium
Lead time
2-3 weeks
05

Match every major discovery page with a YouTube video

YouTube is the strongest citation surface when [Your Client] is not included, so video should reinforce the same discovery topics covered by written content.

Pair each major discovery page with a corresponding video on asset-based brokerage, agent programs, supplier diversity, broker evaluation, and switching topics using clear, query-aligned titles.

Section 08 · Methodology
08 — Methodology

How this report was measured.

This appendix outlines the prompt set, engine coverage, and interpretation rules used to keep month-over-month comparisons consistent.

Prompt set

55 prompts were derived from a category template and manual additions, spanning branded, comparison, and discovery-style buyer intent.

Engines tested

4 engines were included in this run: ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Google AIO.

Runs per prompt

Each prompt was run 1 time, producing 220 total observations across the dataset.

What counts as a mention

A mention means [Your Client] appears directly in the answer text. This report measures how often the brand is surfaced across tracked buyer-intent prompts.

How the score works

The AI Visibility Score is the weighted average of mention rate across ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, and Google AIO, normalized to a 0–100 scale.

Why intent tiers matter

This edition separates branded visibility, comparison visibility, and discovery visibility because each reflects a different stage of the buyer journey.

Source-domain interpretation

Source domains are based on cited or linked URLs in responses and are used here to show which surfaces AI systems rely on when [Your Client] is present or absent.

How to read this edition

The most meaningful opportunities often come from the gap between strong branded visibility and weaker discovery visibility, rather than from the aggregate score alone.
