What this means

A higher score means AI assistants are more likely to recommend The Ordinary when a shopper asks for cosmetics & beauty options. A big brand can still score low here if the AI does not associate it with this category - the score reflects category visibility, not overall size. As product research shifts into ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews, this increasingly decides who gets discovered.
