How Evernote closes the gap

Every point below comes from the archived answers themselves — no guesswork, no generic advice. Ordered by how much it would move the number.

Biggest opportunity 3 questions name Obsidian and never mention you

This is not about ranking lower. You are not in these answers at all. A model only names what its sources connect to the topic. If nothing written about your brand ties it to these subjects, the model has no reason to mention you.

What to do: Work through the list below. Each row is a real topic where you leave no trace. Start at the top, where the rival is named first.

Losing ground AI names you after Obsidian in 2 questions

You are present here, just later. The brand named first is usually the one described as the default or the leader across its sources. Closing this gap is far easier than starting from nothing.

What to do: This is your fastest win. Fix these before chasing the questions you are absent from.

You are ahead here AI names you before Obsidian in 2 questions

This is your strong ground. Most people take it for granted, work only on their weaknesses, and quietly lose the lead.

What to do: Keep doing whatever is working here. These positions do not hold themselves.

What this cannot tell you

We can show exactly where you are absent, where you are named later, and which sources AI leans on. We cannot promise a result — no one can see inside these models, and anyone who says otherwise is guessing. Treat this as a map of where the gap is, not a guarantee of closing it. How we measure →
