AI Share of Voice — measure who AI cites for your category.

Share of Voice (SOV) is the share of AI-generated answers that mention your brand for a defined query set. SkuLift measures SOV across ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity and Gemini through a 4-level pyramid.

Definition

What is AI Share of Voice (SOV)?

AI Share of Voice is the percentage of generative AI answers that cite your brand across a defined query set, engine and time window. It quantifies algorithmic authority. SkuLift uses a 4-level pyramid (parametric, web-grounded, product-adjacent, branded) and an N≥5 multi-sampling protocol per query.

Frequently asked

Share of Voice — direct answers.

How is AI SOV different from classic SOV?

Classic SOV measures media share or voice across paid + earned + owned channels. AI SOV measures the share of AI-generated answers that cite your brand for a defined category. AI SOV directly correlates with sales pipeline because most assistants now stand between buyers and your category.

Which engines do you measure?

ChatGPT (4o + web), Claude (Sonnet + Opus), Perplexity (Sonar), Gemini (Pro + grounded). Coverage extends to any prescriptive engine that gains traction. Each engine is measured on a per-query, per-day basis with N≥5 multi-sampling for statistical reliability.
