AI Visibility Audit — sharerec.com (sample report)

How to read this report — four terms, no jargon

ANSWER SLOT: When someone asks ChatGPT or Perplexity a question, the answer lists its sources — usually 5 to 10 links. Each of those links is one "slot." Slots are the new page one of Google: whoever fills them gets the trust and the click.
ANSWER-SLOT SHARE: Of all the slots handed out across your niche's buyer questions, the percentage your website fills. Think market share, but for AI answers. 0% means AI never mentions you when your buyers ask.
BUYER QUERY: A question a ready-to-buy customer actually asks — "best X for my situation," "is X worth it," "X vs Y" — not what companies wish people searched for. We measure the questions that end in purchases.
SLOT HOLDER: The website currently filling a slot you could occupy. Who they are decides your strategy: small blogs can be outpublished; Reddit threads and big review sites need a different approach entirely (sections 04 and 07).

01 / ANSWER-SLOT SHARE

You hold 13% of your niche's AI answers — and it's climbing.

Across 10 buyer-intent questions asked on ChatGPT (with search) and Perplexity, the engines handed out 141 citation slots. sharerec.com holds 19 of them — more than any other domain in the niche, including every competitor tool and every review site.

13%19 / 141 slots · rank #1 of 69

Reading: a share above ~10% with an upward trend means the cluster strategy is compounding. For calibration — a domain at 0–2% flat across runs is not "early," it's not registering; our own second product sat there for three months and never moved (that data is in the case study).

IN PLAIN TERMS Imagine every AI answer in your niche is a shelf with ~10 spots for sources. This month there were 141 spots total, and your site sat in 19 of them — more than anyone else. The line going up means you're taking spots from others month after month, not just holding on.

02 / COMPETITOR SHARES

Nobody else holds more than 7%.

The niche is fragmented — the single best condition for a content play. Note that two of your top "competitors" aren't tools at all: YouTube and Reddit. Engines fill slots with whatever looks authoritative, not just vendors.

WHY "FRAGMENTED" IS GOOD NEWS When no single site dominates the answers, the AI is still shopping around — and a consistent publisher can climb. The dangerous pattern is the opposite: a few big names holding most slots. Then no amount of blogging moves the needle (we proved that on our own second product), and the money belongs elsewhere.

In your report, each named competitor you give us is measured individually even if they earn zero slots — knowing a rival is absent from AI answers is as actionable as knowing they dominate.

03 / SLOT-HOLDER ANALYSIS, QUERY BY QUERY

Every query, every engine, who actually holds the slots.

READING THE BADGES HELD — both engines cite you for this question: defend it. PARTIAL — one engine cites you, the other cites someone else: usually the cheapest wins available. CLOSED — neither cites you, and the current holders are hard to displace: don't spend here. "GPT" is ChatGPT, "PPX" is Perplexity — we check both because they pick sources differently.

Buyer query	Cited?	Status	Top slot holders (you excluded)
loom vs sharerec	GPT ✓ · PPX ✓	HELD	reddit, youtube, sourceforge, loom.com
screen recorder with auto-delete links	GPT ✓ · PPX ✓	HELD	screencast.to, relay-kit, grasshoppercapture
best screen recorder for freelancers	GPT ✓ · PPX ✓	HELD	veed.io, zapier, techradar, tella
loom alternative for mac	GPT ✓ · PPX ✗	PARTIAL	screensnap.pro ×2, setapp ×2, tella
loom alternative for windows	GPT ✗ · PPX ✓	PARTIAL	screensnap.pro ×4, tight.studio, clickup
cheap loom alternative	GPT ✓ · PPX ✗	PARTIAL	yorecord ×2, screensnap ×2, youtube ×2
screen recorder no watermark	GPT ✓ · PPX ✗	PARTIAL	screenrec ×2, loom.com, screenpal, jumpshare
best screen recorder for teachers	GPT ✗ · PPX ✓	PARTIAL	classplusapp ×2, penbeam, screenrec

loom alternatives 2026	GPT ✗ · PPX ✗	CLOSED	youtube ×2, clickup, tella, supademo, ossalt

Holder types matter more than names: nearly every holder above is an indie blog or small tool — beatable with better pages. Where you see review giants and Reddit stacked ×2–3 deep (see "customer support"), content alone won't flip it; that's a community play.

04 / THE WHERE-YOU-CAN-WIN MAP

Three held. Six flippable. One to stop chasing.

HELD ×3

Defend: loom vs sharerec · auto-delete links · freelancers

Cited by both engines. These pages are your moat — keep facts current and interlink new articles through them. The auto-delete query is fully owned: Perplexity quotes your expiry feature verbatim.

PARTIAL ×6

Flip: mac · windows · cheap · no-watermark · teachers · customer support

One engine cites you, the other cites a beatable indie holder instead. These are the cheapest wins on the board — the missing engine already "knows" you; a stronger, fresher page for the exact intent usually closes the gap. Exception: customer support, where Reddit and Jam sit ×2 deep — pair the page with presence in the cited threads.

CLOSED ×1

Stop chasing: "loom alternatives 2026"

The head term. Engines fill it from 15-tool mega-roundups and YouTube — breadth we shouldn't fake. Your 12 narrower "alternative" pages already capture this demand at higher intent. Spending here is the classic GEO money-waster; skip it.

05 / PRIORITIZED HIT-LIST

What to publish next, in order.

Ranked by (open slots) × (beatable holders) × (buyer intent). For this sample: the flip queue plus the nearest adjacent intents with no strong holder.

#1Refresh the Windows + Mac alternative pages Both engines' missing halves are held by a single indie blog (screensnap.pro, ×2–4 slots). Newest verified pricing tables + this year's builds is typically enough to flip one engine.

#2"screen recorder with expiring links" cluster page You own the auto-delete query outright; the adjacent phrasings have near-empty slots (holders are single-page micro-tools). Cheap territory expansion of a proven win.

#3"send video to client" / feedback intents Buyer-intent phrasings with no dominant holder in this run. Your recipient-intent pages (video-feedback, client-onboarding) are days old — engines haven't sampled them yet; expect movement by the next run.

#4Teachers page refresh + one edu how-to Perplexity already cites you; GPT's slots go to two small edu blogs. One supporting article interlinked with the existing page targets the flip.

#5Customer-support: page + Reddit presence The only PARTIAL where content alone won't finish the job — reddit.com holds ×2 slots on GPT's side. Answer the two cited threads genuinely; engines keep re-citing the same ones.

06 / WHY YOUR PAGE ISN'T CITED — TEARDOWN

Case: "loom alternatives 2026" — your page vs. the cited ones.

You have a page squarely on this query. Both engines skipped it in this run. Side-by-side with the pages they did cite (clickup.com, ossalt.com, saascompared.com):

ONE TERM FIRST: THE "VENDOR DISCOUNT" AI engines are wary of citing a company's own site for broad "what's the best…" questions — a vendor ranking itself #1 isn't a neutral source. But for specific questions ("does X work on Windows?", "which tool has expiring links?") they cite vendors freely, because the vendor is the authority on its own product. Knowing which side of that line a question falls on saves a lot of wasted content.

Your page

Covers 5 tools — engines treating a head term want survey breadth
Vendor-owned: engines discount self-interested roundups for head terms (they cite you freely on narrower intents)
Competes with your own 12 narrower "alternative" pages for the same query family

The cited pages

10–20 tools per page, structured comparison tables throughout
Third-party or open-source-curator framing reads as neutral
Single authoritative page per domain for the whole head query

Verdict: this is not a page to fix — it's a query to deprioritize. The same "vendor discount" that hurts you on the head term doesn't apply on specific intents, where you're the most-cited domain in the niche. That asymmetry is the whole strategy.

07 / THE RECOMMENDED PLAY

Content play — with one community assist.

VERDICT: CONTENT-WINNABLE NICHE · CONTINUE COMPOUNDING

Your slots are held almost entirely by indie blogs and small tools — the beatable kind. No review-site oligopoly, no funded-incumbent wall. The 90-day path:

WKS 1–2Flip queue #1–#2: refresh Windows/Mac pages, ship the expiring-links cluster page.

WKS 3–6Hit-list #3–#4: two recipient-intent pages + teachers refresh. Interlink everything through the three HELD pages.

WKS 7–12Customer-support combo (page + the two cited Reddit threads). Re-measure monthly; expect 13% → high-teens if the flip rate holds.

If this audit had found Reddit + G2 holding your slots ×3 deep across most queries, this section would prescribe the community or listings play instead — and would tell you not to buy articles from anyone, including us.

Method & honesty notes. 10 buyer-intent queries × ChatGPT (gpt-4o + web search) and Perplexity (sonar), run 2026-07-29; every cited URL logged and counted as one slot. Raw JSON attached with your report. Engines disagree on the same page ~36% of the time — ask the same question twice and you'll often get different sources, like two librarians recommending different books on the same topic. That's why single runs are noisy, why verdicts here lean on 5 runs of trend, and why monthly tracking exists ($149/mo). We never promise specific citations or that a specific page will be picked: engines chose a different page of ours than the exact-match one in half of all citation events. What compounds is the cluster's share — your slice of the whole shelf, not any one spot on it.

Who ChatGPT & Perplexity cite when your buyers ask — and where you can win.
