ClickUp ClickUp: AI Visibility Report

clickup.com ↗

When buyers ask ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini about project management, ClickUp ranks #3 of 15, a Visibility Score of 53 in Project Management (and appears in 3 categories of the index).

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 ClickUp

Wide reach across categories, deep roots in none.

Where it wins. ClickUp holds rank 3 in both Project Management and Marketing Agency Management, with mention rates of 65% and 58% respectively, showing the models reliably surface it in those conversations. That consistent mid-tier presence across two competitive categories is real shelf space.

Where it loses. In Accounting and Bookkeeping Practice Management it scores 12.1 against a 0% first-pick rate, and the models exclude it from four of the five major prompt themes there, including Best Overall and Enterprise Pick. Even in its stronger categories, the Enterprise Pick theme is missing, meaning buyers with serious scale requirements are not hearing its name.
