Hunter.io: AI Visibility Report
When buyers ask ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini about sales engagement & outbound, Hunter.io ranks #13 of 15, a Visibility Score of 5 in Sales Engagement & Outbound .
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.
Buried at the bottom of one crowded outbound race.
Where it wins. Hunter.io holds a foothold in Sales Engagement & Outbound, appearing in nearly 1 in 10 prompts at a 9.7% mention rate. The feature-led ask theme is the one context where AI models surface it, suggesting the tool earns its mentions when a buyer describes a specific capability rather than shopping broadly.
Where it loses. Ranked 13 of 15 with zero first-pick selections, Hunter.io trails Apollo.io, Lemlist, and Instantly in the same category and never surfaces when AI models are asked for the best overall pick, a use-case fit, or a top tool of 2026. It has no presence in any other category to offset that weakness.
AI-generated analysis of the September 2026 measurements.
Hunter.io claims Sales Engagement & Outbound and the models back it: #14 of 15 there.
