THREE FINDINGS THAT MATTER

The brand is missing from most of AI-answer queries

AIO triggers on 22 of 40 tracked keywords. Solid trigger volume driven by area code queries, not product category queries. Total mentions are high (1,806) due to volume of area code queries, not business software category presence. Every Aircall page appearing in AIO is an area code information page. Zero product, feature, pricing, or comparison pages are cited.

AI misreads the category

Yes. The dominant AIO citation context is area code lookup queries (929, 786, 469, 619, 951), not business software or AI platform queries. AIO places Aircall in a narrower, commodity-adjacent category rather than the AI-powered call center and sales engagement category Aircall targets.
