How do our offers handle Claude visibility?
Broadcastwell measures and fixes whether AI search engines name B2B software companies.
Run the free checkOur offers handle Claude visibility as one of five engines measured together: Claude answers your agreed buyer questions with the same wording as the others, we report its answers on a separate line, and a repair targets the page or source behind a Claude answer that leaves you out or misstates you. We cannot make Claude name anyone, and no offer is sold for Claude alone.
Updated 9 November 2026.
The five engines are ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews and Google AI Mode. Claude's September 2026 Index record, below, covers the same 140 buyer questions as the rest, three runs each, and it differs from them in ways that change where repair work starts.
Claude in the September Index
| Measure, September 2026 | Claude | All five engines |
|---|---|---|
| Valid target answers | 420 of 420 attempts | 2,095 of 2,100 attempts |
| Cited entries | 3,975 | 18,893 |
| Answers with no cited entry | 0 of 420, 0.0% (0.0% to 0.9%) | 39 of 2,095, 1.9% (1.4% to 2.5%) |
| Vendor sites in cited entries | 955 of 3,975, 24.0% (22.7% to 25.4%) | 5,766 of 18,893, 30.5% (29.9% to 31.2%) |
| Review platforms in cited entries | 412 of 3,975, 10.4% (9.5% to 11.4%) | 1,706 of 18,893, 9.0% (8.6% to 9.4%) |
| Checked-vendor names | 2,039 | 8,085 |
| Vendor-question cells named in one or two of three runs | 253 of 2,860, 8.8% (7.9% to 9.9%) | 1,259 of 14,192, 8.9% (8.4% to 9.4%) |
Measured. Claude produced 2,039 checked-vendor names in 420 valid answers, more than any other engine, so a Claude answer tended to carry a longer list. Its 3,975 cited entries split widely: vendor sites 24.0%, review platforms 10.4%, directories and listicles 5.5%, and 54.2% in "other". No valid Claude answer lacked a cited entry. Anthropic's help page on web search, dated 7 October 2026, says "Every response includes citations", which matches what we recorded.

Anthropic changes we track for Claude
Anthropic's Claude release notes, read 9 November 2026, dated five model launches between 24 July and 7 October 2026. One is dated 22 September 2026, the first day of our capture. We record it as a mark on our time series under the rules in our model release tracker and read nothing into it.
Where Claude work starts
Reasoned. With review platforms and directories together holding 15.9% of Claude's cited entries, Claude draws on third-party listings more than ChatGPT does, so we check what your category's review and directory pages say about you before rewriting your own pages. A longer list also means more room for a checked vendor to appear at all, which is why we report Claude's names with their base rather than as a rank.
