It measures how likely AI engines are to recommend a business, and how accurately. Cincinnati eye care centers run 25 to 70. Fair starts at 45, good at 65. Michael Hater scores 26, below the Cincinnati average of 38. The same method scores every business on the registry.

| Reviews & response | 12 | 88 | 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 |
| Backlink & citation authority | 8 | 61 | Domain authority and editorial quality of the sources that attest to you. | Fair |
