Linear Linear: AI Visibility Report

linear.app ↗

When buyers ask ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini about project management, Linear ranks #5 of 15, a Visibility Score of 46 in Project Management .

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 Linear

One category, one race, and Linear is mid-pack.

Where it wins. A 56% mention rate in Project Management means the AI models know Linear exists and surface it reliably. The 'Best overall' prompt theme shows it earns general-purpose credibility, not just niche recognition.

Where it loses. Ranking fifth of 15 and converting first-pick status only 19% of the time means buyers hear the name but the models hand the top recommendation to someone else. Enterprise queries return nothing from Linear at all, so larger deals are invisible to AI-driven discovery.
