For merchants

The assistant named five brands for your question.
None of them was you.

That is not a guess. We run the entire category's purchase-intent question set and count how often each brand is mentioned, where it ranks, and what the assistants get wrong about it. First you get a map of the category — who wins, on which assistant, by how much — then we talk about fixing things.

Category benchmark

See the whole field before you see yourself

One brand's own reading tells you exactly one thing: where it stands under that test surface, in those assistants' answers. What is actually useful is the distribution — every brand in the category, measured on the same question set, and how it moves over time.

Scope: 5 prompts × 1 assistant · 2026-09 · pilot run Thin sample — an illustration, not a conclusion
We would rather label a thin sample than dress it up. The figures above come from 5 prompts and 1 assistant, so we do not present them as a conclusion. Every official benchmark table carries its own scope line — sample size × assistants × time window × retrieval on/off — plus the date it was run. What cannot be measured ends up as folklore; and folklore gets a budget.
Four services

Read the field, watch yourself, get a reading, run an audit

Four separate things, not a bundle. Because we don't sell execution: measurement, monitoring and auditing are ours — how you fix it is your team's job, or your agency's.

Quarterly · core

Category Benchmark

You receive:

① The full AI visibility distribution of your category — not just you, but every brand in the field: who leads, who is slipping.
② Your share and rank change quarter over quarter; the trend starts speaking from period two.
③ Alerts: new entrants, share drops, newly introduced spec errors.
④ Every table carries its scope line (sample size × assistants × time window × retrieval on/off), so a third party can check it.

Public starting price ¥1,800/month · CNY; quarterly billing from ¥4,800/quarter, scaled by category size

Scope published in full · data is yours · deliverables carry a content fingerprint, independently verifiable

Monthly

Managed AEO Monitoring

Every month:

① Re-run of your category test set — trend dashboard of your AI Recommendation Share.
② Alerts: new entrants, share drops, newly introduced spec errors.
③ A prioritized visibility fix list: structured data, assistant crawler access, presence in the third-party sources assistants actually quote.
④ Quarterly review with a human, not a bot.

Public starting price ¥4,000/month · CNY; month-to-month, cancel anytime

Agent Readiness Diagnostic

You receive:

① Your AI Recommendation Share across the assistant panel — mention rate, rank position, info accuracy, suppression ratio.
② A category-specific purchase-intent prompt set, with the answer log.
③ The error list: every spec, price or availability claim the assistants get wrong about you.
④ The competitor gap: who wins your customers' questions today, and on which assistant.
⑤ A prioritized fix list — 30 minutes walkthrough call included.

Independent Audit Report

For two kinds of people:

① Brands that bought AI visibility work — your agency says visibility improved; we re-measure on a third-party scope and issue a fingerprinted audit report. Data, not talking points.
② The agencies themselves — "my client doesn't believe the result" is the biggest closing obstacle in this business. We issue the report; you may sign and republish it (figures unaltered).
③ Add a one-off snapshot attestation: a dated assistant answer to a dated prompt, plus a content fingerprint, from ¥199.

Public starting price ¥3,000/audit · CNY; quoted per project, annual terms for agency partners

We measure, we don't fix; we don't write articles and we don't place them — so there is no business of ours inside this report

Which one: just want your own current position → Diagnostic; want to know where you rank across the whole category → Category Benchmark; want someone watching monthly with a fix list → Managed Monitoring; want an agency's delivery verified → Independent Audit Report.
The red line, in writing: AIBUY reports and rankings never accept payment for placement. Clients buy measurement, monitoring and visibility engineering on their own properties and third-party sources — never a position on our charts. If we ever test your category, you are measured exactly like everyone else. We also don't write sponsored articles and we don't place them — and we don't sell execution. Fixes are carried out by your team or an agency you choose; we measure, monitor and audit, so our readings carry no conflicting interest. Read the full policy →
Honest limits

What we do NOT promise

No GMV promises

AI recommendation logic is partly a black box and changes without notice. We commit to measured metrics — mention rate, position, accuracy — not to revenue outcomes.

No overnight fixes

Assistant knowledge updates lag the live web by weeks to months. Period one is always the baseline; trend statements start from period two or three.

No conflicts

We serve one client per brand per category. If your direct competitor is already a client in the same category, we tell you before you pay.

Free pilot

Each quarter, a few free diagnostics

We run a limited number of free diagnostics for categories on our research roadmap — condition: results may be cited anonymously in published benchmarks. If your category is next, you see your data before anyone else does.
