Back to case studiesAI visibility measurement proof
How SolutionStream made AI search visibility measurable.
New Reward measured how SolutionStream appeared across ChatGPT, Claude, Google AI, Grok, and Perplexity, then turned the result into a clear map of where the brand was recognized, cited, and still under-supported.
SolutionStream citation mapA measurement problem: AI engines could often name SolutionStream, but citation support varied by engine and created the next authority work queue.
Visual boundary: New case-specific illustration of the citation map, drawn from the scan numbers on this page.
Traffic, ranking, lead, and pipeline reporting runs on its own source-backed evidence.
Measured across 1,474 visibility snapshots in the January 21 to January 30, 2026 scan window.
The journey
Problem to proof.
01
Problem
SolutionStream already had strong public recognition. The open question was whether AI answer engines could support that recognition with citation-backed trust.
02
Action
New Reward measured buyer-style prompts across five answer engines, separated mentions from citations, and mapped the engine-level citation gaps into the next authority work queue.
03
Result
The scan recorded 1,474 visibility snapshots, 90.8% mention coverage, and 52.5% citation coverage, making the trust split visible enough to prioritize.
04
Why it matters
A buyer-ready AI answer needs a cited source behind it. The engine-level citation gaps show where source, entity, content, and proof work goes next.
Sales use
How to use this proof in a buyer conversation.
Buyer question
Can New Reward make AI-search visibility measurable for a known B2B brand?
Use this when the buyer understands SEO but thinks AI visibility is too vague to inspect.
Objection handled: AI search feels fuzzy; the study separates mentions, citations, engines, and next authority work.
