# AI Visibility Benchmark 2026-06

**Measured target:** RanketAI self-measurement (case study #1 follow-up) — category sample expansion planned for the 2026-07 issue  
**Published:** 2026-06-13  
**Sample count:** 1

## Timeline

| Date | Grade | Cited | Progression note |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2026-05-01 | D | 0 | Baseline (measurement conditions v1) — brand not mentioned in Perplexity answers |
| 2026-05-21 | C | 4 | Brand mentioned in Perplexity answers — 4 citations from a single glossary page (conditions v1) |
| 2026-05-25 | C | 6 | Citations expanded in Perplexity — 3 glossary + 3 blog explainer (conditions v1, last measurement of the 2026-05 issue) |
| 2026-06-07 | B | 16 | First measurement under conditions v2 — reached B. Perplexity 8 + Gemini 8 citations (Gemini new). ChatGPT still does not mention the brand even with web search |
| 2026-06-13 | B | 17 | B sustained (2 consecutive runs) — Perplexity 8 + Gemini 9. Cited assets expanded from glossary to pillar/explainer blog posts |

## Measurement conditions change (series break)

Measurement correction (v1→v2, 2026-05-31): the May runs (v1) measured ChatGPT and Gemini without web search/grounding, creating a structural blind spot for a new brand launched after the training cutoff (citations appeared only on Perplexity, which has built-in search). From June (v2), ChatGPT web search and Gemini grounding are enabled to match real user conditions. May and June grades therefore belong to different measurement conditions, and the C→B uplift mixes content/entity improvements with the measurement correction — the two effects are not separately verified.
