Quick Answer: Your AI Authority Rank combines four weighted signals: Chat Intelligence (40%), SERP Performance (30%), Sentiment (15%), and Competitive Position (15%). Each component has its own sub-metrics.

The Four Components

Chat Intelligence Score (40%)

The largest component. This measures your presence across all monitored AI chatbot platforms.

Sub-metrics

How it’s calculated

Example

  • Mention Rate: 30% → contributes 10.5 points
  • Average Position: 2.1 → contributes ~8 points
  • Platform Coverage: 4/5 → contributes 16 points
  • Consistency: High → contributes 12 points
  • Chat Intelligence Score: ~47/100
  • Weighted contribution to AI Authority Rank: 47 × 0.40 = 18.8 points

SERP Performance (30%)

Measures your traditional and AI-enhanced search visibility.

Sentiment Score (15%)

Measures how positively AI platforms describe your brand.

Sub-metrics

Sentiment language examples

How it’s calculated

A brand with 10 positive mentions and 2 negative ones will score higher than a brand with 5 positive and 0 negative. Volume of positive mentions matters.

Competitive Position (15%)

Measures your visibility relative to tracked competitors.

Sub-metrics

Share of Voice scoring

This component requires at least one tracked competitor. Without competitors, it defaults to a neutral 50/100 and only the other three components drive meaningful score changes.

Putting It Together

What this tells you

In this example:
  • Chat Intelligence and SERP are moderate (room to grow)
  • Sentiment is good (AI talks positively about the brand)
  • Competitive position is weak (competitors dominate share of voice)
Priority action: Focus on competitive gaps - keywords where competitors appear but you don’t.

Score Update Frequency

Your score recalculates after every monitoring session. If you run weekly campaigns, you get weekly score updates. Each session uses the latest data from all four components.
