Dribbble Dribbble: AI Visibility Report

dribbble.com ↗

When buyers ask ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini about freelance & talent marketplaces, Dribbble ranks #8 of 15, a Visibility Score of 14 in Freelance & Talent Marketplaces .

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 Dribbble

Dribbble runs one race in AI and sits mid-pack.

Where it wins. A 28% mention rate inside Freelance & Talent Marketplaces keeps Dribbble present in AI-generated shortlists, and co-placement with Toptal and Gun.io confirms it belongs in the conversation buyers are having.

Where it loses. A 6.9% first-pick rate at rank 8 of 15 means AI models reach for other names before Dribbble, and its total absence from Enterprise, Feature-led, and startup prompt themes leaves it invisible to buyers who frame the question any way other than use-case fit.
