Clover: AI Visibility Report

When buyers ask ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini about retail pos & store management, Clover ranks #4 of 15, a Visibility Score of 30 in Retail POS & Store Management (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.

How AI sees Clover

Clover fills lists in both categories but leads neither.

Where it wins. Retail POS edges slightly higher, with a 48.6% mention rate and a score of 29.9, making it the stronger of Clover's two tracked categories. Restaurant POS still pulls 43% mention share, so the brand surfaces consistently across both.

Where it loses. A 0% first-pick rate in both Restaurant and Retail POS means AI models cycle through Clover as a supporting name, not a recommendation, and Enterprise pick is flagged missing in both categories, cutting it out of higher-value buyer conversations entirely.
