A hyperrealistic illustration of what your report looks like — 12 prompts, 7 AI engines, 336 answers analyzed, figures in CAD. Nothing here belongs to a real customer.
Five measured inputs, one weighted composite. The inputs are shown above; the exact weighting is GeoSignal's proprietary method — it's what makes the score hard to game and hard to copy.
Across 12 buyer prompts and 7 AI engines (336 answers analyzed Sep 8 – Oct 6, 2026), Verdant Botanics appears in 22% of AI answers. The category is dominated by giants — CeraVe shows up in 63% of answers, The Ordinary in 55% — but the fight that matters is winnable: on ingredient-led prompts like “bakuchiol vs retinol,” AI cites whoever explains best, and that's a content game, not a budget game.
Your wins cluster exactly where your formulation story is strongest: vitamin C for sensitive skin, bakuchiol, and clean-ingredient positioning. Your losses are all routine-building prompts — “best affordable skincare routine,” “what order to apply skincare” — where AI defaults to the brands with the most tutorial content and YouTube presence. Nobody out-formulates you; everybody out-publishes you.
The kingmaker map is unusually concentrated: r/SkincareAddiction alone drives 44 citations, and Byrdie and Allure roundups decide the rest. One well-placed routine feature or a viral routine thread moves the needle more here than in any other category we track. Your review base (12,000+ verified reviews averaging 4.8) is the proof asset — it just isn't where AI looks yet.
