# Get Endorsed by AI: What AI Endorsement Means for B2B Companies

> **AI Endorsement:** when ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, or Perplexity names your company as a recommended choice to a buyer who asked who to hire, and describes you correctly. AI only endorses what it can confirm. The companies it can confirm get endorsed. The rest get skipped, even when they're just as good.

The question every B2B leader should be asking: is AI endorsing you, or your competitor?

## AI only endorses what it can confirm

- **Google** searches to discover. It goes looking, ranks what it finds, and lets the buyer decide.
- **AI assistants** search to confirm. They start from the names they already know, check them, then endorse a few.

## Win AI's endorsement: the four tests

1. **Category match.** Your pages describe what you do in the words your buyers actually use.
2. **One consistent identity.** The same name, description, and category on your website, LinkedIn, directories, and press.
3. **Independent corroboration.** Sources other than you (lists, directories, interviews, videos, articles) say the same thing about you.
4. **Readable, current facts.** AI crawlers can reach your pages, the search indexes AI relies on have them, and the facts are up to date.

## Measure it: the AI Endorsement Score

**AI Endorsement Score** = the share of your buyers' real questions for which AI endorses your company in its first answer: it names you as a recommended choice *and* describes you correctly. Also track how often you're named first.

In Arabic: تزكية. The best outcome is الفوز بالتزكية: AI names your company alone, with no competitor in the answer.

## Common questions
