Lemlist Lemlist: AI Visibility Report

lemlist.com ↗

When buyers ask ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini about sales engagement & outbound, Lemlist ranks #5 of 15, a Visibility Score of 25 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.

How AI sees Lemlist

One arena, middle of the pack, zero first picks.

Where it wins. A 40% mention rate in Sales Engagement & Outbound keeps Lemlist in the conversation consistently, and landing 5th of 15 competitors means the AI models know it exists and include it in shortlists.

Where it loses. When buyers ask which tool fits their use case or want an enterprise recommendation, Lemlist disappears from those prompt themes entirely, and it has never been the opening recommendation in any query tested.
