Apify Apify: AI Visibility Report

apify.com ↗

When buyers ask ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini about seo crawlers & site audit, Apify ranks #12 of 15, a Visibility Score of 7 in SEO Crawlers & Site Audit .

These rankings are measured from what the three models know from training, not a live web search. The live-web grounded surface is rolling out across the index. Methodology.

How AI sees Apify

Apify occupies rank 12 of 15 in its only AI race.

Where it wins. The models do surface Apify in SEO Crawlers and Site Audit conversations, and a feature-led framing is the one prompt type that reliably pulls it in, giving it a narrow but real foothold at a 9.7% mention rate.

Where it loses. A 0% first-pick rate across that entire category means buyers asking for a top crawler recommendation never land on Apify, and it disappears completely from seven prompt themes including budget, enterprise, and best-overall asks where purchase decisions actually form.
