Empower Empower: AI Visibility Report

empower.com ↗

When buyers ask ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini about mortgage lending & origination, Empower ranks #8 of 15, a Visibility Score of 17 in Mortgage Lending & Origination .

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 Empower

A mid-table mortgage player with no zero-to-one moments.

Where it wins. Empower holds a 21% mention rate in Mortgage Lending and Origination, meaning AI models surface it in roughly one of every five relevant conversations. That keeps it visible enough to stay in buyers' consideration sets alongside Encompass and LendingPad.

Where it loses. A first-pick rate of zero means no AI engine has ever led with Empower when a buyer asks what to buy, and the model ignores it entirely when the question shifts to use-case fit, team size, or enterprise selection, which are the prompts that drive shortlisting decisions.
