Salesforce Salesforce: AI Visibility Report

salesforce.com ↗

When buyers ask ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini about crm, Salesforce ranks #2 of 15, a Visibility Score of 69 in CRM (and appears in 5 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 Salesforce

CRM titan, near-invisible everywhere else.

Where it wins. CRM is the one bright spot: a 79% mention rate and rank 2 of 15 signal that AI models treat Salesforce as the default answer when buyers ask broad CRM questions. Customer Support adds modest credibility at 38% mention rate and rank 5.

Where it loses. Outside CRM, the scores collapse fast: Sales Engagement scores 4.6 and Subscription Billing 3.5, both ranked 13 of 15, and Salesforce is absent from nearly every high-intent prompt theme like 'Feature-led ask' and 'Budget and alternatives' across four categories.
