Phorest Phorest: AI Visibility Report

phorest.com ↗

When buyers ask ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini about salon & spa management, Phorest ranks #10 of 15, a Visibility Score of 13 in Salon & Spa 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 Phorest

Tenth in its only race, Phorest is barely on the AI map.

Where it wins. A 20.8% mention rate in Salon & Spa Management means AI models do know the name, and the 'Top tools in 2026' prompt theme is where that recognition concentrates.

Where it loses. At rank 10 of 15 with a 1.4% first-pick rate, buyers asking AI which salon software to buy will almost certainly land on Vagaro, Fresha, or Boulevard before Phorest gets a word in, and startup, enterprise, and feature-led queries return nothing from this brand at all.
