A look at how Postscript is described, positioned, and quoted inside Google's AI Overviews, the AI answer box at the top of search results, and where the brand shows up versus goes missing.
The brand is effectively invisible in Google AI Overviews within its product category. An entity disambiguation problem prevents AIO from associating the brand with SMS marketing at all.
AI answers fire on 32.5% of tracked queries, yet Postscript is quoted in only 7.5% of them. When it does appear, it sits Not determinable; all citations are likely navigational or word-related, not product category citations.
Brand appears in 3 of 40 tracked keywords, but all are navigational or common-word contexts. Zero citations in actual SMS marketing category queries. No postscript.io URLs cited in AIO responses.
Complete misalignment. AIO resolves the entity to writing terminology and Adobe software, not to the SMS marketing software category. This is not a positioning problem; it is a fundamental entity recognition failure.
