Calculate your brand's share of voice compared to competitors in Claude.

Claude doesn't rank search results like Google. It draws from its training data to have conversations. When users ask about your industry, is Claude mentioning your brand alongside competitors? Or are you invisible while rivals dominate the discussion? Share of voice in Claude measures how often your brand appears compared to competitors when users ask industry questions.

## The Problem

Unlike search engines, you can't easily see Claude's 'rankings.' There's no keyword report showing your position. Claude's responses vary by conversation, and tracking your brand mentions across different queries manually would take forever.

## The Solution

You can systematically measure share of voice by testing strategic queries across your industry. By asking Claude the same questions your prospects ask, then tracking which brands get mentioned, you build a clear picture of your AI visibility compared to competitors.

## Map your competitive landscape queries

List 15-20 questions prospects ask when researching your industry. Include category questions ('best CRM software'), feature comparisons ('which tools have email automation'), and buying decision queries ('CRM for small business'). These mirror real user conversations with Claude.

## Test queries systematically across Claude

Ask each question in a fresh Claude conversation. Screenshot or copy the full response. Note which brands Claude mentions, their order of appearance, and context (positive, neutral, negative). Run the same queries weekly since Claude's responses can vary.

## Score mentions by context and prominence

Not all mentions are equal. Give higher scores for first mentions, longer descriptions, and positive context. A brief mention in a list scores differently than a detailed explanation. Create a simple 1-5 scoring system for consistency.

## Calculate your share percentage

Add up your total mention scores across all queries. Divide by the total mention scores for all brands combined. If your score is 45 and the total industry score is 200, your share of voice is 22.5%. Track this monthly to spot trends.

## Identify gap opportunities

Find queries where competitors dominate but you're absent. These represent immediate improvement opportunities. Look for patterns: are you missing from pricing discussions? Feature comparisons? Use case scenarios?

## Track competitor mention patterns

Note which competitors appear most often and in what contexts. Do they get mentioned for specific features? Price points? Use cases? Understanding their Claude presence reveals what messaging resonates with AI systems.

## Frequently Asked Questions

### How often should I measure share of voice in Claude?

Monthly tracking provides good trend data without obsessing over daily variations. Claude's responses can vary, so focus on patterns over time rather than individual query results.

### Why do my competitors get mentioned more in Claude?

Claude learned from content where those brands appeared more frequently or prominently. This could be due to better content marketing, more press coverage, or stronger industry authority when Claude's training data was collected.

### Can I improve my Claude share of voice?

Yes, but indirectly. Claude draws from its training data, so improving your web presence on authoritative sites, creating more industry content, and earning media mentions can influence future AI training cycles.

### Should I test the same questions multiple times?

Yes. Claude's responses can vary even for identical questions. Test each query 2-3 times over a few days, then average the results for more reliable data.

### What if Claude never mentions my brand?

Zero mentions suggest weak AI presence. Focus on creating more authoritative content, earning industry coverage, and ensuring your brand appears in contexts where Claude would encounter it during training.
