Waze: AI Visibility Report
When buyers ask ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini about route planning & optimization, Waze ranks #10 of 15, a Visibility Score of 10 in Route Planning & Optimization .
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.
One race, tenth place, zero first picks.
Where it wins. Waze at least holds a seat in the Route Planning & Optimization field, pulling a 12.5% mention rate against 14 competitors. That keeps it in the conversation when AI models field routing questions.
Where it loses. A rank of 10 out of 15 and no first-pick selections means buyers hearing AI recommendations on routing are almost certainly landing on Google Maps, Circuit, or Route4Me before Waze comes up, and six prompt themes produce no Waze mention at all.
