Protractor Protractor: AI Visibility Report

protractorsoftware.com ↗

When buyers ask ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini about auto repair shop management, Protractor ranks #8 of 15, a Visibility Score of 5 in Auto Repair Shop 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 Protractor

Rank 9 of 15 in its only category tells the whole story.

Where it wins. Protractor holds a foothold in Auto Repair Shop Management, earning an 8.3% mention rate in its sole measured category. That rate at least keeps it on the board alongside Shop-Ware and Tekmetric.

Where it loses. A score of 5 with zero first-pick selections means AI models treat Protractor as a filler name, not a recommendation. Five prompt themes including budget, enterprise, and use-case fit return no Protractor mentions at all, shrinking its effective reach to a narrow slice of generic best-overall queries.
