It measures how likely AI engines are to recommend a business, and how accurately. San Jose car stereo stores run 24 to 52. Fair starts at 45, good at 65. Auto Sound scores 34, level with the San Jose average. The same method scores every business on the registry.

| Off-property attestation | 20 | 40 | Volume and consistency of what others say about you: YouTube mentions, branded web mentions, third-party “best-of” lists. The cause of retrievability. | Poor |

| Reviews & response | 12 | 80 | 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. | Good |
