How AI Visibility breaks down
in Sales Intelligence
Composite = 50% coverage + 30% engine breadth + 20% position, measured in the brand's strongest category. Position and citation depth join the score once the aggregation pipeline captures them. This is the measured Visibility score — separate from AEO Readiness, which scores fundamentals.
Per-stage performance
Cited rate · share of voice · engine consensus · sentiment, broken out by buyer-journey stage. Sentiment is the net positive−negative skew across engines that cited the brand at this stage.

3Executive summary
Apollo.io is highly likely to be cited by AI engines for B2B evaluation and conversion queries because it has very strong G2 review volume (9,820+ reviews) and publicly crawlable pricing with explicit tiers (e.g., Free, Basic $49/user/month, Professional $79/user/month, Organization $119/user/month). The single highest-ROI fix is to strengthen/verify first-party structured evaluation surfaces (SoftwareApplication + FAQPage for pricing/integrations/alternatives) so AI engines can cite Apollo pages directly for “vs/alternatives/pricing” rather than relying on third-party review sites.
