Outreach.io Outreach.io: AI Visibility Report

outreach.io ↗

When buyers ask ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini about sales engagement & outbound, Outreach.io ranks #10 of 15, a Visibility Score of 10 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 Outreach.io

Tenth in its only race, Outreach.io barely registers with AI buyers.

Where it wins. When AI models discuss sales engagement tools, Outreach.io does appear in the conversation, and its strongest foothold is use-case fit prompts, where specificity keeps it on the list at an 11% mention rate.

Where it loses. A 4.2% first-pick rate in a 15-brand field tells the real story: ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini skip it entirely when asked for a single recommendation or a startup-friendly pick, and it never surfaces as a top overall choice in sales engagement.
