When buyers ask ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini about video conferencing, Cisco ranks #12 of 15, a Visibility Score of 6 in Video Conferencing .
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.
Hardware-adjacent footnote; never the AI's first answer.
Where it wins. Cisco surfaces in budget and alternatives conversations, which accounts for its only meaningful mention presence at 8% across three models. It at least has a foothold when buyers are price-shopping or comparing options.
Where it loses. A 0% first-pick rate and absence from 7 prompt themes, including enterprise pick and best overall, means AI models treat Cisco as a peripheral mention rather than a category recommendation. Co-mentions with Logitech and Poly push it further into hardware territory, away from software buying decisions.
