Google Maps: AI Visibility Report
When buyers ask ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini about route planning & optimization, Google Maps ranks #6 of 15, a Visibility Score of 29 in Route Planning & Optimization .
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.
Surfaces on casual prompts; disappears when buyers get serious.
Where it wins. Google Maps earns a 35% mention rate and converts nearly 24% of those into first-pick selections, which is respectable volume for a tool most buyers already know.
Where it loses. It is absent from use-case fit, enterprise, feature-led, and budget prompts, meaning any buyer past the awareness stage stops seeing it recommended entirely.
