Vagaro: AI Visibility Report
When buyers ask ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini about salon & spa management, Vagaro ranks #1 of 15, a Visibility Score of 67 in Salon & Spa Management (and appears in 3 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.
Salon leader, fitness afterthought, nowhere near owning any category.
Where it wins. In Salon & Spa Management, Vagaro sits at rank 1 with an 80.6% mention rate, meaning AI models reliably surface it whenever buyers ask about salon or spa software. Med Spa is a credible secondary presence at rank 4 and a 52.8% mention rate, enough to stay in serious consideration.
Where it loses. Fitness & Gym Management exposes the breadth problem: a 22.2% mention rate and zero first-pick selections across 15 competitors suggests AI treats Vagaro as a distant also-ran in that vertical. The missing Enterprise pick designation across all three categories means buyers signaling scale or complexity are not hearing Vagaro's name.
