Marketing Agency Management: AI Visibility Ranking

Project, client, and retainer management software for marketing, creative, and advertising agencies. Right now, Productive is the brand AI assistants recommend most, with a Visibility Score of 51 and the #1 spot in 29% of answers. Head-to-head: Productive vs Teamwork →

These rankings are measured from what the three models know from training, not a live web search. When the models DO search the web, see which sources they cite. Methodology.

Three brands within 3 points, no one pulling away.

Teamwork tops the index by a razor-thin margin over monday.com and ClickUp, with all three bunched inside a 3-point range that makes any 'leader' claim provisional at best. Claude accounts for much of Teamwork's edge, scoring it at 65 while nearly ignoring Productive and Scoro, so Teamwork's rank is partly a function of one model's strong preference. Productive is the oddity here: it converts 21% of its mentions into a first pick, the highest rate in the group, yet its overall score sits 11 points behind the top three because the other two models barely surface it.

The ± under each score is the reliability band: how much the number would move if we re-ran the identical measurement. It is tight because each prompt is sampled multiple times. It is not the same as how much the ranking depends on which prompts we ask — a separate, wider figure shown on hover.

Just below the cutoff: AgencyAnalytics (5.3), Wrike (5), Bonsai (4.6), AWS (3.9), Basecamp (3.6). 70 brands were scored in this category; the leaderboard shows the top 15.

Visibility Score: position-weighted presence across all measured answers, 0 to 100. A score of 100 means the brand was the first recommendation in every answer. Every point in a trend line is a live monthly measurement; there is no modeled or backfilled history. Full methodology.

Openness 49/100: the share of this category's recommendation weight not held by the leader.
