Instantly: AI Visibility Report
When buyers ask ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini about sales engagement & outbound, Instantly ranks #4 of 15, a Visibility Score of 40 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.
Solid mid-pack outbound contender, nowhere near the top.
Where it wins. A 57% mention rate puts Instantly in most outbound conversations AI models generate, and rank 4 of 15 in Sales Engagement keeps it ahead of the field's lower half.
Where it loses. First-pick rate sits at 11%, meaning models consistently place Apollo, Salesloft, or Lemlist ahead when a buyer wants a clear recommendation, and Instantly never surfaces for enterprise or use-case-specific queries at all.
