Planning Pod Planning Pod: AI Visibility Report

planningpod.com ↗

When buyers ask ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini about event & venue management, Planning Pod ranks #3 of 15, a Visibility Score of 39 in Event & Venue Management (and appears in 2 categories of the index).

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 Planning Pod

Strong in venues, invisible in catering, owns neither outright.

Where it wins. In Event & Venue Management, Planning Pod earns a rank of 3 with a 54% mention rate, putting it solidly in the conversation when buyers ask for the best overall solution in that category.

Where it loses. Catering Management tells a different story: ranked 11th with an 8% mention rate and zero first picks, it disappears entirely when buyers ask about use-case fit, enterprise options, or budget comparisons, meaning the AI models reach for Better Cater or Caterease before Planning Pod enters the frame.
