Sounding Board Sounding Board: AI Visibility Report

soundingboardinc.com ↗

When buyers ask ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini about coaching & development platforms, Sounding Board ranks #7 of 15, a Visibility Score of 18 in Coaching & Development Platforms .

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 Sounding Board

Visible in trend searches, invisible when buyers get serious.

Where it wins. Sounding Board surfaces in nearly 29% of mentions when prompts ask about top tools, landing it at rank 7 of 15 in a crowded category. That foothold keeps it in the conversation alongside BetterUp and CoachHub.

Where it loses. A first-pick rate of 0% means AI models never lead with Sounding Board when buyers ask for a single recommendation, and it drops out entirely from feature-specific, budget-driven, and direct-choice prompts where purchase decisions actually form.
