When buyers ask ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini about crm, Close ranks #4 of 15, a Visibility Score of 25 in CRM (and appears in 2 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.
Solid mid-tier CRM presence; nearly invisible in outbound.
Where it wins. In CRM, Close lands rank 4 with a 36% mention rate, holding ground against established names on broad 'best overall' queries. That is the one context where AI models treat it as a legitimate option.
Where it loses. In Sales Engagement, an 11% mention rate and rank 12 of 15 signal near-invisibility, and Close is absent from four of the highest-intent prompt themes including 'If you could pick one' and 'Feature-led ask.' It also earns zero first-pick selections across both categories.
