Not enough review detail to summarise confidently. (AI guess, from 3 reviews.)
It measures how likely AI engines are to recommend a business, and how accurately. Palo Alto cosmetics stores run 20 to 59. Fair starts at 45, good at 65. MAC Cosmetics scores 22, below the Palo Alto average of 34. The same method scores every business on the registry.
| Signal | Weight | Score | What it measures | MAC Cosmetics |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Retrieval grounding | 26 | 0 | Whether you appear in the ranked results AI retrieves and cites: AI-Overview citations, organic top-10 for your money queries, and the Bing index ChatGPT leans on. | Poor |
| Off-property attestation | 20 | 41 | Volume and consistency of what others say about you: YouTube mentions, branded web mentions, third-party “best-of” lists. The cause of retrievability. | Poor |
| AI visibility | 14 | 0 | Whether ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, and AI Overviews name you, and whether they name you for the right service. | Poor |
| Reviews & response | 12 | 19 | The star average is only one input. We also read volume, velocity, the specificity of review language, and response cadence. Specific reviews are what AI quotes verbatim. | Poor |
| Backlink & citation authority | 8 | 67 | Domain authority and editorial quality of the sources that attest to you. | Good |
| Google Business Profile | 8 | 67 | Required and recommended fields; update cadence. The listing AI pulls from first. | Good |

Where this page sits in the registry. It's one profile among the cosmetics stores in Palo Alto, linked to the lists and towns around it.
This is exactly what this page sends to Google, Bing, ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity and Gemini. We publish it in the open for two reasons: so you can see nothing here is hidden or made up, and so any business or developer can copy it. Being a good local AI steward means the machine version says exactly what the human version says.

</html>This is the evidence for every fact on this page, across Locals, Services, Team, Visit, Reputation and Updates. Each reference names the fact, the source, what kind of source it is, and the date it was checked, with a link and an archived copy so anyone can verify it. Visitor references are dated firsthand accounts. AI guesses record what an AI engine said on that date, not what is true.
