When buyers ask ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini about website builders, Sitecore ranks #11 of 15, a Visibility Score of 9 in Website Builders (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.
Sitecore lingers near the bottom, never driving a recommendation.
Where it wins. Website Builders is its stronger category, where it reaches rank 11 with an 11% mention rate, landing it at least in the conversation as an enterprise-adjacent name.
Where it loses. Publishing and Newsletters is a near-total failure at rank 15 of 15 with a 5.6% mention rate and zero first picks across both categories, and AI models skip it entirely on every prompt theme except the narrow enterprise framing.
