Understanding Your MentionRank Score
Understanding Your MentionRank Score
Your MentionRank score is the key metric that shows your brand's visibility across AI platforms. Here's how to interpret it and what you can do to improve.
Score Range
Your score ranges from 0 to 100:
| Score | Rating | Interpretation |
|-------|--------|----------------|
| 0-20 | Low | Work needed - AI rarely mentions your brand |
| 20-40 | Average | Room for improvement - occasional mentions |
| 40-60 | Good | Competitive - regular AI visibility |
| 60-80 | Excellent | Industry leader - frequent recommendations |
| 80+ | Exceptional | Dominant presence - top-of-mind for AI |
How Your Score is Calculated
Your score combines multiple factors:
1. Mention Rate (40%)
The percentage of queries where your brand is mentioned. If you're mentioned in 15 out of 50 queries, your mention rate is 30%.
2. Position Quality (30%)
When you ARE mentioned, how prominently? Being listed first is worth more than being fifth.
3. Model Coverage (20%)
Are you visible across ALL major AI platforms, or just one? Broad coverage indicates stronger brand recognition.
4. Consistency (10%)
How stable is your visibility over time? Consistent performers rank higher than volatile ones.
