How AI Visibility breaks down
in Payroll
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.
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.
Gusto is highly likely to be cited by AI engines for evaluation and conversion queries because it has very strong third-party review authority (e.g., G2 seller page shows 11,817 reviews) and publicly crawlable, tiered pricing. The biggest AI-citation risk is structured-data extraction: live search found no SoftwareApplication/FAQPage/Organization JSON-LD signals on gusto.com, which reduces eligibility for rich AI answers and consistent entity grounding.
