Search with passage-level citations
Since March 2025 Claude searches the web and cites sources at the level of specific passages, not whole pages. Pages win when a precise, verifiable sentence can be lifted out of them.
Per-provider visibility
Claude visibility: how to exist in the answers.
There is no ranking inside Claude. There is an answer your company is in or absent from. EntityRise measures this on 20 approved buyer questions, separately for each of five providers, and shows what to fix so the answer includes you.
How Claude builds an answer
What decides the result
Claude answers carefully and flags uncertainty, so brands with an unambiguous description of what they are and who they serve win. Vague positioning ends in omission, not in a bad recommendation.
Sources and weights
How Claude differs from the rest
An index other than Google
Anthropic does not officially confirm its search provider, but documentation and analyses point to the Brave Search index. The practical conclusion: a site strong in Google can be weakly visible in the index Claude draws on.
A conservative choice of sources
Claude cites more rarely and more carefully than Perplexity. Generalities and pages without specifics lose faster here; documentation, dated numbers and clear definitions win.
What this changes about your sources: check how your company looks in Brave Search results, and keep fact pages a model can cite one sentence from.

Measurement
How we measure Claude visibility
01A column in the matrix
In the report Claude has its own matrix column and index row; description accuracy is especially instructive here, because the model says openly what it does not know about you.
02Same questions, separate result
Each of the 20 questions goes to Claude independently; the result is never averaged with other providers.
03Six signals per observation
Mention, active recommendation, alternative, position, citation support and description accuracy.
04The model version in the report
The exact model version used in your audit is recorded in Audit Integrity.
Common questions
Straight answers.
How do I check whether Claude recommends me?
Ask the questions your buyer would ask, without your company name, and record the answers. The audit does the same in a controlled way: 20 approved questions, a sealed set and a repeatable result.
Can you buy a presence in Claude?
No. No provider sells placements in answers. The result is earned openly: a clear company description, content for buyer questions and evidence a model can cite.
Does the Claude result carry over to other providers?
Partly. The same work raises the odds everywhere, but each provider weighs sources differently, which is why the audit measures each one separately instead of showing one average.

The $49 audit shows Claude answers to 20 of your buyer questions, next to the four other providers.
