Ahrefs platform-gap queue before all-model average
Split AI visibility by platform before averaging the report into one score, because the missing model is often the real repair queue.
Why this can grow a startup
A blended AI visibility number is tidy and often useless. Ahrefs makes the stronger point in its free checker: one brand can appear often in Perplexity while barely showing up in ChatGPT or Google AI Overviews. That difference is operationally valuable. Each platform leans on a slightly different source mix, answer style, and citation habit, so the fix is rarely the same everywhere. A team that watches the split can tell whether it needs stronger owned pages, better third-party proof, or more direct community presence in the places a specific model seems to trust. The average score hides the work. The platform gap list tells you where to start.

When to use it

When not to use it
Do not use it as a substitute for customer evidence, a clear owner, or a measurable stop condition. Local platform rules and market behavior still need checking.
