THREE FINDINGS THAT MATTER
01

The brand is missing from 88% of AI-answer queries

Cotera is cited in 4 of the 33 AI answers we triggered.

02

AI misreads the category

Cotera positions as an AI agent platform for sales, support, and ops. Google's AI has no category association for it at all. It only surfaces the brand when the buyer already types the name.

TOP THREE MOVES

Impact high · effort medium · 30 to 60 days

Impact medium · effort low · 0 to 30 days

03

Earn placement in the third-party sources AI actually cites: the listicles, review sites, and communities answering these queries today.

Impact high · effort medium · 30 to 90 days
