Small Improvements Small Improvements: AI Visibility Report

small-improvements.com ↗

When buyers ask ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini about performance management, Small Improvements ranks #13 of 15, a Visibility Score of 5 in Performance 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 Small Improvements

One arena, near the bottom, barely nudging buyers.

Where it wins. Small Improvements surfaces in Performance Management budget conversations, which is its only foothold. A 6.9% mention rate keeps it technically in the room across the three major models.

Where it loses. Ranked 13 of 15, it trails Leapsome, Lattice, and 15Five badly, and a 1.4% first-pick rate means ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini almost never open with its name. Six prompt themes return zero presence, so most of the category's buying questions go answered without it.
