Google Vertex AI Google Vertex AI: AI Visibility Report

google.com ↗

When buyers ask ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini about ai app builders, Google Vertex AI ranks #14 of 15, a Visibility Score of 7 in AI App Builders .

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 Google Vertex AI

One field, one race, nearly last place.

Where it wins. The only foothold Google Vertex AI has is AI App Builders, where 'Enterprise pick' surfaces as a prompt theme, meaning the models at least associate it with larger-org buying contexts. An 8% mention rate keeps it technically on the board.

Where it loses. Rank 14 of 15 with zero first-pick selections tells the real story: buyers asking AI what to buy hear about AWS Bedrock and Azure AI first, and Vertex AI lands near the bottom of a list it barely made.
